Scott Creney’s Album Roundup: July 2015
July’s always been a shitty month for music. All the good mainstream stuff comes out at the beginning of the summer and all the good indie stuff waits until the college kids come back in the fall. Or maybe I just had a shitty month? I don’t know. All albums scored on the World […]
The Only Apple Music Article You Need To Read
By Scott Creney So when you first join up there’s all these goddamned floating circles and you’re supposed to pick your favorite genre of music from a bunch of categories that are so broad & vague as to be meaningless: alternative, electronic, pop, rock, oldies, etc. But you can’t see all the bubbles at once […]

Beck – Morning Phase (Fonograf/Capitol)
Damn it, Beck. It’s not that I – or anyone else at Collapse Board, for that matter – hate successful white guys with guitars. We’re just hard-pressed to find one that doesn’t bore us to tears or drive us nuts with their banal male sexuality. Nor is it true that there’s no place for sentimental […]
Some random thoughts on ‘Still Crazy After All These Years’ and Paul Simon in general

Jewel – this note’s for Walmart
You gotta respect any artist who so clearly doesn’t give a fuck.

I love it when a band make it look this easy.
Neil Young covers 'God Save The Queen'. Yes, that Neil Young. Yes, that 'God Save The Queen'
Nice drumming. Nice backing vox.
