Neil Young With Crazy Horse – Toast
In the early 00’s Neil Young headed into Toast Studios in San Francisco, CA and cut 7 songs with his most famous – and best – backing band, Crazy Horse. The songs were bluesy and lyrically showed Neil dealing with some heavy issues within his marriage. For reasons...
Bliss Foxx – Sugar Coated Romance Junkie
I first became acquainted with the mighty Bliss Foxx in 2020, as a side gig with a local newspaper was winding down. In fact, I think their debut EP was my final submission to the paper before I moved back to the East Coast. No matter – the Salish Sea and the music...

Weezer – Everything Will Be Alright In The End
The post Nirvana music world left a wasteland of burned out one hit wonder alternative rockers. Weezer didn't fit that mold, thankfully. Their 1994 debut album was an almost instant hit (over 3 million copies sold to date) that straddled the line between straight up...

Black Swan Lane – A Moment of Happiness
About 15 or 16 months ago I wrote that Black Swan Lane would have a hard time topping then current effort, The Last Time In Your Light. A perfect distillation of the bands strengths, I wondered where they'd go from there. As it turns out - on to greater things. Just...
Dan Florio – Malleability
The darkness set in around 7:45 last night - the Fall is relentless in its approach this time of year. Rather than lament the summer now gone, it is time to start thinking about bonfires, pumpkin beer, and flannels (I'm in the Seattle area, after all). The perfect...

Morrissey – World Peace Is None Of Your Business
Is the musical icon a dying breed? Legacy artists populated the public consciousness seemingly since the beginning of popular music, but lately it seems this will soon become a memory. Can we really rely on Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, or Miley Cyrus to carry the torch...

Sunstack Jones – Roam
About a year ago, I had the privilege of interacting with Sunstack Jones - an indie band that hail from Northern England (Liverpool and Blackburn). Their 2013 single You Can Help Me Out was one of my anthems for the summer of '13, its Britpop-ish vibe perfectly...

Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good b/w Aching For More
If anything, you can't fault Ryan Adams for lacking pure enthusiasm when it comes to his recording career. He has attacked disparate genres with gusto, though his later records have mostly settled into a pop rock alt county feel (not counting his metal side project,...

Nostalgia has become a funny thing in this age of "the social network". We have Throwback Thursdays, Flashback Fridays, and other movements accompanied by their #hashtags seem to be popping up weekly. What does it all mean? For every person in their mid to late 30's...
