Disclosure’s back

I’m 36. I’ve never been to a proper EDM show. I keep my finger on the pulse of what’s “hot” in music, but I rarely click with what is moving on the charts, so to speak. That said, I find EDM to be somewhat harder to keep up with. I honestly have no idea what’s… Read More Disclosure’s back

Courtney Barnett’s in the groove

I really enjoyed Aussie rocker Courtney Barnett’s first album, “Sometimes I Sit and Think and Sometimes I Just Sit,” and not just because its title more or less describes my life. It’s a super catchy, super fun, jangly bit of rock and roll with some pretty poignant and thoughtful lyrics to boot (but not so… Read More Courtney Barnett’s in the groove

Uhhhhhhh-bsessed

I used to sit down at the end of the year to think about my favorite albums of said year, and sometimes I would actually out-think myself, trying to be too cute or clever with my choices.

Surprise? ATR Best of Music 2014 featuring predictability

I almost wrote this post in early December along with all the other best-of lists, but something (besides laziness) nagged at the back of my mind, telling me “wait, it’s not the end of the year yet, what if someone (Jay Electronica? Nah!) decides to drop a last-minute album that blows your mind?” Weirdly, my… Read More Surprise? ATR Best of Music 2014 featuring predictability

ATR Music: Several years of top 10s

At the request of my friend Thomas, I looked through all of my old archived blog posts from the last 8 or 9 years and found all of my year-end music lists, which, nowadays, are basically the only thing I make time for writing-wise (cue world’s smallest violin). Some years I listed 15 top albums,… Read More ATR Music: Several years of top 10s

The 20 Best Albums of 2013 and an open letter to Jay Electronica

One of these guys released an album in 2013, but it wasn’t the right one. Dear Jay Electronica, First of all, Happy New Year! I’m positive 2014 is going to be a great trip around the sun, and I wish you nothing but the best for this solar orbit.

The top 50 (fifty!) albums of 2012 (part 1)

This wound up being a very good year in music. You wouldn’t know it by looking at my paltry updates this year, but if I’d been able to shake free from my writers block/depression/recession/rut at some point in the last year, I would have Recommended many, many more CDs, mixtapes, EPs and singles than I… Read More The top 50 (fifty!) albums of 2012 (part 1)

Rapper Replacement Program Part 1

You should really be getting more enjoyment out of your music.
