Some of the bands listed here released their debut album in 2009 so it’s no surprise that I’ve only recently “discovered” their music. On the other hand, some of them have been around for good long while and I’ve only recently gave them a good listen. What’s the point of this list? The idea is [...]

I’ve mentioned here a few times before how much I like AmazonMP3 (I think it’s way better than ITunes) for purchasing music downloads. The selection is outstanding and I like that the mp3 quality is better than it is on ITunes and that you don’t have to use ITunes as your player (I prefer Winamp) [...]

I haven’t heard every album released in 2009 (not by a long shot) so I think it’d be a bit presumptuous to claim these seven albums to be the best albums of the year, instead these are just seven albums released in 2009 that I’ve enjoyed and that I think you may enjoy as well. [...]

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) [...]

The soundtrack for the new Twilight movie is at #1 this week in it’s first full week of release (it was #2 last week despite being released on a Friday instead of the usual Tuesday.) I must admit that I bought this soundtrack even though I rarely buy movie soundtracks and even though I think [...]

I was thinking: “I wonder how many of the 200 albums on the Billboard 200 are by artists I dig?” This may seem like a rather thin concept for a blog post, but compared to a lot of the crap I post here, this is brilliant! #002 Twilight Soundtrack No, I’m not a fan of [...]

Despite Michael Buble’s new album (Crazy Love) coming out on Friday (rather than Tuesday) he was still able to get the #1 spot on the new Billboard album charts. He beat out Kiss (which debuted at #2 with Sonic Boom) and Toby Keith (who debuted at #3 with American Ride.) Yes, there are people who [...]

This is a new feature I’m going to try to keep up with every Monday where I highlight a selection of four albums coming out on Tuesday in the US (that’s tomorrow, buddy!) Just click on the album title to go to Amazon.com so you can order it. I’m also going to include each album’s [...]

The Avett Brothers first major label album, I and Love and You, is due out next Tuesday (September 29th.) They were signed by (and then produced by) Rick Rubin to his American Recordings label after building up a strong following with 12 indie releases (albums & EPs) from 2000′s self titled debut through 2008′s The [...]

As of yesterday The Avett Brothers new album I and Love and You is available to purchase on vinyl (it’s a double album on vinyl.) CLICK HERE to buy it on Amazon. It doesn’t have it’s wide release on CD and in download format until September 29th but the band decided to release the vinyl [...]
