Posted on Feb 18, 2016

The insanely talented, rising pop star Dua Lipa follows up her hit single "Be The One" with "Last Dance," a punchy tune that would be equally at home on the radio and in the clubs. "Way too soon to feel so strong / Way too young to...

I am in love with this remix of the legendary Bryan Ferry's "Avonmore" by Prins Thomas. It's taken from a limited edition vinyl release by, who else, The Vinyl Factory, which is fast becoming one of our favorite labels. The remix is a psychedelic dance track,...

I was already excited about Iron and Wine's Sam Beam making an album with Jesca Hoop -- one of my favorite singer/songwriters -- and now that I've heard "Every Songbird Sings," I'm practically drooling. On their own, each of their voices tends to give me chills,...

REVIEW: KANYE WEST: THE LIFE OF PABLO

Posted on Feb 16, 2016

No comments

Sometimes even the best artists lose their mojo. Sometimes even the best artists fall prey to their big egos. Sadly, Kanye West has done both with his new album, The Life of Pablo. But did we really need a new album to learn these things about Kanye? Probably not. It was pretty obvious...

Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum: Exclusive Interview 2016

Posted on Feb 15, 2016

One comment

Soul Asylum will release their brand new, 2016 studio album Change of Fortune on March 18th and it’s one of their best in years, right up there with Grave Dancer’s Union (1992) and Let Your Dim Light Shine (1995). It is not an attempt to rehash those albums, though. On the contrary, today’s...

So, I already reviewed this song when I reviewed Lana's Honeymoon album, but I'm naming "Freak" the #songoftheday today because it's one of my favorite tracks on the album and I also feel it's one of her very best tracks, right up there with "Video Games" and "Summertime...

At the core of Radiation City are couple Cameron Spies and Lizzy Ellison. Following two much praised EPs, it came time to record their third full-length album. But there was trouble in Rad City, as they’ve nicknamed it; the couple was on the verge of breaking up. But in spite of this, they...

#albumoftheday / REVIEW: EMM GRYNER: 21ST CENTURY BALLADS

Posted on Feb 10, 2016

One comment

When it comes to indie singer/songwriter Emm Gryner, I always have very high expectations. This might have something to do with the fact that her album Northern Gospel was my #1 album of 2011 and that her album Torrential was my #12 album of 2014. Suffice to say she’s one of my favorites,...
