OK, so I’ve been sitting on writing this damn post for more than a week now. Here’s the problem, I didn’t know what to say. I listened and listened and listened to U2′s latest disc waiting for it to hit me… and it never happened! I wanted my karaoke song. I wanted my anthem. I [...]

I found this item after reading a bit of hype press in Rolling Stone. I’m glad I did, but after a half-dozen listens or so, I’m still a little trying to figure out whether it is a good album or a good collection of songs. The songs on Oh My God, Charlie Darwin evoke the [...]

Meg White I saw you on the big screen Oh, Jack was king, but you stole the scene I’ve seen Ray LaMontagne perform twice. The first time was in the back of the Downtown Crossing Borders in Boston in 2004 or 2005. I’d been hearing “Trouble” on the radio and I needed so see this [...]

My buddy Marc writes for Pitchfork and his review of M. Ward’s Hold Time should be up by the time most of you see this on Tuesday. In the meantime, if you’d like to hear some of the album and get his take on it, he did a nice piece for ABC News Now. I [...]
M. Ward – Hold Time

So I happened upon M. Ward’s yet-to-be-released album Hold Time and couldn’t pass up giving it a listen. It comes out on the 17th and I’ll be sure to purchase it then. Fortunately, it’s well worth its price tag. I remember as a kid being confused about the blues. I understood that it grew out [...]

Bruce Springsteen’s Working on a Dream is a good collection of songs, but a flawed album. Still, it’s still better than most.
Blitzen Trapper – Furr

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m rarely short on opinions. Those who know me well know that I usually form my opinions with speed, if not haste. That’s why it was all the more alarming for me that I took me nearly a week to piece together my feelings on Blitzen Trapper’s newest album, [...]
