My top nine albums/music of the year. I would have picked ten, but most everything else was background noise and singles to me in comparison to the following. Any year that Radiohead puts out an album is a great year in music, in my opinion, but there was a ton of great music to flesh [...]

Now that this great year in music has nearly come and gone, sufficed to say 2007 will be hard to top. But what new music releases are worth looking forward to in 2008? Here are a few artists and\or bands on my radar:
The Magnetic Fields, Thao Nguyen, Cat Power, Vampire Weekend, Chris Walla, [...]

Like many a music fan, I too love to put together these end of year lists. I love scouring the magazines, websites, blogs and newspapers for their favorite albums and songs of the year. While the last few years have been great, I have to say, 2007 is by far one of the [...]

We have lost yet another jazz great today, as master pianist Oscar Peterson died due to kidney failure. Peterson, in his day along with bassist Ray Brown, led a fiercely solid and grounded trio that defined the sound of the standard piano-bass-drum jazz combo for years to come.

Getting ready to post my best of 2007 list later this week. But in the meantime…
One of the best songs I’ve heard this year is M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes” from her second album Kala. The record, which I think is easily one of the best albums of the year, is an amazing clash of early [...]

Month eleven is officially over, and we’re back with the second to last mini-EP: We Are Full Of Useful Noise. We’re particularly happy with how the first track, “Wars Keep Going On,” turned out. Due to some obscure November holiday, we all managed to be in the same place at the same time one weekend [...]

Yet another Song of the Day essay. To read the full review and hear the song go here.
