News and Reviews Slept-On Review :: High Contrast - Notes From The Underground One of the most talented producers in the modern Drum 'n' Bass scene. The album is titled "Notes From The Underground", but honestly it should be called "Love Notes To The Underground", as it's just that, a love letter to the days of classic jungle and DnB.
News and Reviews Featured New Release :: CHVRCHES - Screen Violence After months of teasing us all with some pretty solid singles, CHVRCHES have finally dropped the full-length album we've all been waiting for. And "Screen Violence" is probably some of their strongest work to date...
News and Reviews Featured New Release :: Future Garage Double Shot (Joy Orbison / One Bok) Some pretty cool releases coming from Future Garage OGs Joy Orbison and Bok Bok this week. Joy O's dropped his first full-length, "still slipping, vol. 1" and Bok Bok kicks off a new label, AP Life, with a double EP/beat tape under the name One Bok, entitled "Zodiac Beats Volumes 1 & 2".
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 08-02-2021 Another week, another playlist. If we're being honest, I'm getting tired of this. I've started questioning the value of this entire project. Evidently, my stupid squirrel brain can't commit to anything beyond a few months.
Random Musings Featured Why The World Still Needs Physical Media: A Counterintuitive Rant on The State of Music Streaming Services I love music. I love a LOT of different styles, genres, etc. of music. Once in a while, an album or song I like suddenly disappears from services like Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, et al. and it never fails to drive me crazy...
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 07-26-2021 Hey folks, another week, another playlist. Not much to say on this post. Sorry this is a day late, but it's a long weekend here in Canada, and I've been trying to make the most of it...
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 07-19-2021 Hey folks, another week, another playlist! Not much to say this time 'round; you know the deal by now. Listen on shuffle, follow me on Spotify. Enjoy!
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 07-12-2021 Another week, another playlist. Now that a large number of us are getting back to acting like humans instead of hermetic, goblin-like creatures thanks to things starting to reopen, here's hoping you make this week's playlist the soundtrack for your next party.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 07-05-2021 Trivium's new single "In The Court of the Dragon" is on the playlist. It's a pretty great little thrash tune, and the music video is PHENOMENAL. I'll embed the video after the playlist so you can check it out.
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 06-28-2021 I'm switching to Sundays as it honestly makes more sense. This week's playlist is a pretty good mix: Metallica some stuff inspired by Cyberpunk RED, and the typical smattering of Tragically Hip and Joy Division songs, since both bands seem to live rent-free in my head.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 06-21-2021 Here we are again. Another week, another playlist. You know the deal by now: The playlist keeps updating until Sunday, so keep checking back for new tunes. Also, follow me on Spotify!
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 06-14-2021 Whoops! A day late on this one folks. Sorry about that. (Not like anyone actually reads this stupid blog). Again, this playlist is pretty all over the place. Fair amount of punk rock this time around, guess my brain wanted to hear some punk this week, I dunno.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 06-07-2021 BADBADNOTGOOD, Thundercat, Steely Dan, St. Germain all feature on a decidedly jazz-informed playlist this week, but also, more Tragically Hip! (in honour of their humanitarian award, presented at the Junos this week)
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 05-31-2021 This one's a decently diverse cross-section of genres (so far anyways, we'll see where that ends up by Sunday evening). A few "repeat offenders" from past playlists. I'm noticing that to be a bit of a trend.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 05-24-2021 Brain decided this week was all about grunge, alt-rock, and metal. I am simply a slave to its whims, so here's a playlist full of grunge, alt-rock, and metal (with a few electronic tracks thrown in because my brain is also fickle as hell).
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 05-17-2021 I've noticed something curious as I go about creating these playlists: Each playlist ends up being around 4 hours long. In case you thought this was by design, it isn't. I literally seem to have about 4 hours worth of music tumbling around in my brain every week. Go figure.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 05-10-2021 For whatever reason, there's more electronic stuff on the playlist this week. There's some new stuff on here too, stuff I might consider writing separate articles about soon.
Weekly Playlists Featured Weekly Playlist :: 05-03-2021 In the words of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony: "It's tha first of tha moooooonnnnnth" (okay, well, not quite...but close enough!). Anyhoo. Here's this week's playlist. Enjoy!!
Weekly Playlists Weekly Playlist :: 04-26-2021 Welcome to the first of what I hope will be many of these playlists. As you can see, it's kind of all over the place. No specific genre or theme here other than whatever pops into my head at any given time; basically stream-of-consciousness in Spotify playlist form!
