I recently took a trip down music memory lane and stopped by the door of Pearl Jam. I was crazy into Ten back when I was about 17/18 and with their sound, it really was a blast from the past to listen to Ten again. Of course, Ten has a number of memorable tracks, including “Jeremy”. “Even Flow” and our Track of the Week, “Alive”. … Continue reading Pearl Jam-Alive
Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. is the 10th studio album by The Smashing Pumpkins. Released about two months ago, it’s received mixed reviews from almost all of the major publishers. It’s also the first Pumpkins record in 18 years to feature both Chamberlain and Iha, making it a reunion of sorts! Despite the fact that … Continue reading The Return of The Smashing Pumpkins. Kinda.
You know that painful search for new music everyone goes through? You’re tired of your current Playlist or constantly dropping back into an old album again and you need something fresh. This happens to me ALL.THE.TIME. I love an album for a month or two and then I don’t find anything new within it, and it just becomes another album on my MP3 or in … Continue reading Shag Haired Villains – There Is A Noise
“It’s songs for the deaf, you can’t even hear it”. ‘Songs For The Deaf’, is QOTSA third album. Released in 2002, I didn’t hear it in it’s entirety until 2008, which is crazy. It’s a loose concept album built around the story of someone taking a drive from LA to Joshua Tree. They tune in and out of radio stations along the way, picking up … Continue reading Queens Of The Stone Age – Songs For The Deaf
The Killers first record in 5 years and the first record of their’s I’ve bought in 9 years. Where the heck does the time go? I did a little research on the album the day it came out on Spotify and through that first brief listen I thought it might be worth picking up. My girlfriend actually picked up the record for me as a … Continue reading The Killers – Wonderful Wonderful
It’s finally here!! All is well in this world again with the release of The Nationals seventh album ‘Sleep Well Beast’. It’s been four years since ‘Trouble Will Find Me‘ and on first appearances, the wait is worth it. Four singles preceded the release of the album, the best in my opinion being ‘Carin In The Liquor Store’, but they were all brilliant in truth. … Continue reading The National – Sleep Well Beast

Ah yes. The Killers. The early Killers actually just to clear things up. Back when Brandon Flowers was fresh faced and Mr. Brightside took over the world of radio. They came flying out of the traps with their early singles and became one of the biggest bands in the world in a pretty short space of time. Synth was back and it was cooool. It … Continue reading The Killers – Hot Fuss
‘Currents‘ is the third album by Tame Impala and the first record of their’s that I bought. I picked it up in HMV because I thought the cover looked cool and then the cashier started raving on about them. I then found out how highly rated they are and that they were already pretty big. Also, with this record, Kevin Parker pretty much did the … Continue reading Tame Impala- Currents
‘Total Life Forever’ is English band Foals second album released in 2010. The band said that the album’s sound can be described as “the dream of an eagle dying“. Oook then, no drugs involved here. Four singles were released from the record and it did pretty well where ever it was released. Their debut ‘Antidotes‘ had also done well two years before and I still … Continue reading Foals – Total Life Forever
