Life is about change, my friends. Jeff Retard was a strong boy. It is tough to understand what Gerard Cosloy can do to a man. If Jim Morrison and Nick Drake had a child, it would have looked a hell of a lot like the late Mr. Reatard. But life is about change, my friends. [...]

Previous entry: 2000. This is my series on “three great albums” which I’m highlighting from each year. My intention is to draw attention to albums that I feel truly standout from the pack. Albums that have stood the test of time (this is, obviously, more and more true the farther back I get) and deserve [...]

Hi; if you are a Hipster then you know that CDs are so totally cool, but what to buy exactly? Here is a list that I compiled out of the kindness of my sweet and tasty heart. Get your purchase on to the following, hit it and quit it… 1. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “Extra [...]

I’ve decided to get into this “best of the decade” game myself. These are my top 10 albums of the 2000s in chronological order with one special rule: No more than one album by any band/artist. This is to keep half of my list from being filled with Radiohead albums. Primal Scream – XTRMNTR (2000) [...]

I am here to help and I present a list of bands, or in fact “artists”, to out and out stay clear of now and forever. I will happily give brief descriptions as to why in order to prove myself slightly more useful of your respective loves and devotions. The Flaming Lips: A group of [...]

I now peek at the commercial takeover of Beck Enterprises Incorporated.

Things start to take a turn for the worse, but therein exists some worthwhile songs along the way… [...]

Many people associate the adjective “psychedelic” only with a certain style of music from the 1960s. While I happen to love that certain style of music, I think it’s a mistake to have such a narrow definition. To me psychedelic music is any music that “trips me out.” Usually that means the music has unusual [...]

I like to use the ol’ “music like _____” feature on the Last.FM website to find new music I may dig or to be reminded of music I already know that I haven’t heard in awhile. So anyway. This is a “live blog” on what my Last.FM player gives me as being “like Radiohead.” I’ll [...]

I do not think that Beck is depressed, and that he simply naturally often times comes up with a sort of dark and grim lyrical standpoint. “Walls” is a song that displays this mood, as do most of the cuts on the album. Beck does sound old, it is sometimes difficult to decipher what it [...]

The Olivia Tremor Control – Dusk At Cubist Castle Not only one of my favorite albums of 1996 (if not my very favorite) also one of my favorite albums of the decade. It’s a truly epic psychedelic masterpiece that is not known by nearly enough people. I feel like the pied piper for The Olivia [...]
