R.I.P. Gil Scott-Heron 1949-2011

Don’t allow Scott-Heron’s expansive genius to be whittled down to who it influenced. Instead, approach it as necessary in its own right.

10 REVIEWS OF THE NEW CULTS ALBUM – 7: the really bad review (U.S.)

Listening to Cults, I can only imagine that they have some great insider connections.

 Everett True

Song of the day – 354: Glass Rock

This music is the type of music the word ‘beautiful’ was invented for. And it knows it.

Moon Duo – Mazes (Sacred Bones)

Music culture doesn’t have any kind of forward momentum anymore so albums like Mazes are allowed to exist without much complaint.

THE BAD REVIEW Undead Apes – Grave Consequences (Merenoise)

“You don’t fault a theme park for not being a Cathedral,” somebody said, at some point, about something.

Barbara Panther – Barbara Panther (City Slang)

The highlights buzz and throb with an uncontainable enthusiasm that merges perfectly with the pulsating music. Her talent and personality, coupled with her media-friendly childhood, seem perfectly designed for stardom.

Cass McCombs – Wit’s End (Domino)

If you like museum pieces, by all means pick this album up.

Ponytail – Do Whatever You Want All The Time (We Are Free)

The music sounds like well-made computer-generated songs designed to provide aural stimulation while staring at some kind of never-ending optical illusion screensaver

A Week in the Life of Jeff Pollack, Collapse Board Superstar – week 4

Another week, another dollar for Collapse Board’s own upper-middle management superstar, Jeff Pollack.

The Mountain Goats – All Eternals Deck (Merge)

I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that this relationship is far from over. This is, without a doubt, The Mountain Goats’ best album in years.
