Matt Adey – Love and Deeper Cuts
Recently, I’ve had the chance to spend time with the recent singles from UK artist Matt Adey. Matt first came to the attention of the general public when a track was picked up by DJ Armin Van Buuren and included on a compilation, remixed by Simon Patterson. The new...
Sufjan Stevens – The Ascension
In another life, I would find myself in various US cities all across the country for short intervals. One of the pleasures I took with that was picking out the music appropriate for the locale. And so, in the summer of 2005, I found myself driving around Chicago, IL...

Nirvana – In Utero
Part 43 of a series that will run throughout 2013 as I discuss records that have affected me throughout the years – Flashback Fridays It is exactly 2,823 miles from Hatboro, PA to the Lake Washington section of Seattle, WA. I grew up in the former, and Kurt Cobain of...
Cable35 – Fungus
When we last heard from Cable35 they had just released their debut album, Louder, and were based out of Malta (for those who don't know, Malta is an island nation in the Mediterranean and is also one of the most densely populated nations in the world). My what a...
The Dead Boys – Sonic Reducer

Johnny Marr – Upstarts b/w Psychic Beginner
Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before - guitarist from an adored band that is still immensely popular 25 years after the breakup releases solo record. You might think I'm talking about the exploits of Slash from Guns n' Roses, but I'm not - I'm...

Various Artists – Distant Drums (tribute to Simon Worrall of the Paris Angels)
Compilation albums have always been a tough sell with me. Typically I hone in on a few acts that grab me - buy everything by those bands, and forget all about the compilation. There have been a few exceptions over the years - the Factory records box set, the Left of...

Martin Rossiter – The Defenestration of St. Martin
It has been said that "beauty in distress is the most affecting beauty". It has also been said that "the soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone". Both statements appeal to my inner sense of beauty, though they do not necessarily accurately convey my personal...

New Order – Lost Sirens
Families can be curious things, can't they? One minute family members are fighting, swearing never to deal with each other again - the next, they are vowing to always be there for each other. I tend to think of New Order in those terms - off and on fighting throughout...
The Sixth Great Lake – Up the Country
Part 41 of a series that will run the last Friday of each month throughout 2013 as I discuss records that have affected me throughout the years – Flashback Fridays Well so much for sticking to my "2013 Mission Statement" for this series - I mistakenly thought today...
