UK COMPUTER: AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES OF ARTH AND ARTH

Posted on Jul 10, 2018

3 comments

interview by Michael McCarthy Arth and Arth make what I would call mood music. To me, mood music is music that can change the whole tone of your day or evening. In the case of Arth and Arth, their trippy and often ethereal music is rather intoxicating, coming on like a painkiller. Your...

A KING AND A QUEEN: AN INTERVIEW WITH L.A. GIRLFRIEND (A.K.A. SYDNEY BANTA)

Posted on Jul 2, 2018

3 comments

interview by Michael McCarthy Sydney Banta has been known as L.A. Girlfriend for as long as most critics and bloggers can remember. And they do remember her. Most of them raved about her when she put out her first EP roughly 10 years ago and they haven’t stopped talking about her since. Right...

Posted on Jun 29, 2018

French DJ/producer/taste-maker Martin Solveig has just released his punchy new single, "My Love," today on 6/29/18. That said, it's likely that you'll be hearing it all summer long, especially if you're doing the Ibiza thing this year. ...

#albumoftheday = PANIC! AT THE DISCO: PRAY FOR THE WICKED

Posted on Jun 22, 2018

One comment

I know I’ve said that I don’t do album reviews anymore, but the new Panic! At the Disco album, Pray For The Wicked, is just so life-altering that I can’t help it. And by life-altering, I mean that it just might end up nudging its way onto my Top 20 Albums of All-Time...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = CIARAN LAVERY: “13”

Posted on Jun 22, 2018

3 comments

'"13" is the latest single from Irish singer/songwriter Ciaran Lavery and it's like Ryan Adams, Conor Oberst and none other than Bob Dylan sat in a room together and churned out a song. "Love is like a suicide," Lavery sings, his lyrics raw and his voice a...

AN ALL-NEW CANDID CONVERSATION WITH DOE PAORO

Posted on Jun 13, 2018

3 comments

interview by Michael McCarthy I first heard Doe Paoro’s intoxicating music when she opened for a Sylvan Esso show back in 2014. Like her songs, the way she moved around the stage, dancing, was hypnotic. I felt like a snake moving to the sounds of a charmer. A night or two later, she...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = Enuff Z’Nuff: “Metalheart”

Posted on Jun 6, 2018

One comment

Enuff Z'Nuff's last album, Clowns Lounge, was basically an album of old demos with one new song, "Dog On A Bone." The new song, which I thought was killer, featured bassist and founding member Chip Z'Nuff on vocal duties. ...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = FREEDOM FRY: “DIE TRYIN”

Posted on Jun 1, 2018

No comments

Parisian-born Marie Seyrat calls herself a jerk in the lyrics to "Die Tryin," a song about how you can try to "get" someone -- to figure them out or relate to them -- and it can seem impossible. Still, as you could guess from the song's title,...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = BUTCHER BABIES: “LOOK WHAT WE’VE DONE”

Posted on May 28, 2018

No comments

I've been a fan of Butcher Babies since they debuted, but I'll admit that their music has often taken a backseat to their image. That isn't the case with this video for "Look What We've Done," which is like a combination of a music video and...

by Michael McCarthy Last Saturday night on 5/12/18, I was fortunate enough to catch Stryper live for the third time in my life. It feels weird admitting that, that it was only my third time seeing them, because they’ve been one of my all-time favorite bands – easily in my top 5 –...

#songoftheday / #amlistening = SELENA GOMEZ: “BACK TO YOU”

Posted on May 13, 2018

No comments

Well, it's not from a new Selena Gomez album, which I know we're all dying for, but here's a new track by the woman herself, "Back to You," which hails from the Thirteen Reasons Why Season 2 soundtrack. And what a superb song it is. It's...

Posted on May 9, 2018

Last month I interviewed Whitney Fenimore, a former contestant of The Voice from season 13. Her single at the time was "Find Your Love," a sweeping, almost ethereal ballad that blows across your skin like a cool breeze on a hot day....
