Not too long ago, there was a Saturday Night Live skit that had Matt Damon playing the world’s biggest Weezer fan, much to the chagrin of Leslie Jones – who was adamant that Weezer made two great albums – 1994’s Blue Album and 1996’s Pinkerton – before losing their...
Sunstack Jones – Golden Repair
Kicking off reviews for 2021 in February, bypassing January completely, in the midst of a snowstorm the likes of which has not been seen in these parts in ages. Fitting, really. What better company than that of an old friend? I am speaking of the new record by...

Nine Inch Nails – Hesitation Marks
2013 is proving to be an amazing year for the return of artists who first rose to fame in previous decades. For electronic tinged music, this is especially so. Earlier this year we saw the unexpected return of David Bowie, with a strong album that brought to mind his...
Hey Hey! I Love The Monkees!
Mention The Monkees to a group of people and watch the varied responses – it should be a sport unto itself. Even now – 47 years after the debut of The Monkees television show along with the start of a string of hits (top-selling act of 1967) – some of the reactions...

Secretary – E.P.
Quite a while ago I wrote about my love of the 2nd record by a band called Summer at Shatter Creek. If you know anything about me by this point, you know that I deeply love music that creates a haunting atmosphere in tandem with poetic words. A deep John Lennon vibe...

Coffee Thoughts – An Interview With Amy Hill

Richard Haswell – Asteroids
When one hears the statement "prolific artist" you can almost hear a collective groan from the audience. Prolific, you see, doesn't always translate to quality. I can spout off a random list of artists that release way too much material - for every album that I enjoy,...

The Dead Milkmen – Big Lizard in My Backyard
Part 46 of a series that will run throughout 2013 as I discuss records that have affected me throughout the years – Flashback Fridays I received my driver's license in the great state of Pennsylvania just shy of my 17th birthday (spring of 1994). This opened up a...
Paris Angels – Door to Summer
The Paris Angels were / are one of the great "what if" stories of the early 90's. Contemporaries with The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and Primal Scream they released a handful of singles along with a full length album and then all but disappeared. A casualty of record...

Pet Shop Boys – Electric
2012's record Elysium by the The Pet Shop Boys sparked reviews that varied in tone and critique. It was sometimes mentioned as beautifully autumnal and sad but also criticized as sounding tired and slightly bitter (often within the same review) - for me it was a...
Sunstack Jones – You Can Help Me Out b/w Sunday Comedown
Sunstack Jones hail from "North of England" (members live in Liverpool & Blackburn) and say that they are composed of "always two, sometimes three but mostly four or maybe five musicians". That includes Lorcan Moriarty on guitars (formerly of NME darlings Maupa)...
