Faith – Bon Iver

27 August 2019

“I should’ve known / That I shouldn’t hide / To compromise and to covet / All what’s inside / There is no design.”  Perhaps without a reference point, it’s tough to dissect the aforementioned, excerpted lyrics…

Lost and Found – Prof. Lacasse

27 August 2019

Sometimes one idea is all it takes.

And it doesn’t need to be a big idea or even a terribly well formed one – but from the moment it comes into existence – it can change your life.

Los and Found literally grabbed me by the ear yesterday and said “write about me”…

i just wanna stop – gino vannelli

27 August 2019

Good music has no racial boundaries. A limit can’t be put on soul. The term “blue-eyed soul” was never so appropriate as when used in association with Gino Vannelli. “I Just Wanna Stop” was the chart-topping hit released from his sixth album Brother to Brother…

Rebecca’s Curse – DD Allen

27 August 2019

My father once told me to be wary of women. I laughed at him. I remember the day well. We were in his car, eating sandwiches, I was nineteen and helping him out at work. He wanted to show me the ropes of being an entrepreneur. Hence, we hung out together every day for a month. I learned the ropes of being an entrepreneur but didn’t understand a fig about what he was trying to explain about women. I wish I had listened to him more closely…

A Sunny Day Like This – Golda

22 August 2019

Simple is hard – particularly in today’s complex and complicated world.

I was running down the credits of the tracks at the top of Spotify’s “Todays Top Hits” playlist (with its 23 million+ subscribers) and of the top 5 or 6 tracks – the average number of songwriters was around 7. Even over on Rap Caviar it averages around 3 people to write the track – let alone perform it…

JJ – T. Shan

22 August 2019

This song is a hip hop banger with a smoldering energy. JJ stands for JiangJun (将军) and is Chinese for “commander.” T.Shan drew strength from his family’s immigrant experience and the support they’ve offered him over the years,…

Air – Clara Rockmore

21 August 2019

The theremin can often make for an uncomfortable listen. While a historical achievement in electronic instruments, it has been relegated as a novelty rather than a ubiquity, something its admirers would likely bemoan. However muddled its application and relevance has become, its early performers were virtuosos, fitting the instrument among entire orchestras in place of vocals and stringed instruments…
