Andrew WK Makes Sense of Emo
Andrew WK is never afraid to provide the public with his personal wisdom. Just recently he’s taken on the task of figuring out emo - the culture, the style, the emotions. And there is no better person to figure out emo because anytime I listen to him, his music, or see him perform he makes […]
Teenage Girls Like the Teenagers, @ the Paradise 5.08
I have reservations about absolutely ripping the Teenagers because my roommate digs them. His opinion is no less valid than mine and he’s just starting to get into mid-stream “independent” music so to jade him at this early stage of development seems wrong. But, he’s a big boy and he can handle it…
…I’ll begin with […]

“Nine to Five, More Like Five to Nine”
My office has no windows and poor air circulation. The only two radio stations with reception are Oldies 103.3 and Jam’n 94.5. Combined, those two stations play a total of 15 songs on repeat - the best being the Troggs’ Wild Thing. One time Wild Thing came on the radio, my coworker (mid 60’s/female) let […]
The Heys Are Alright
The Heys are alright. The Brits like them because they’re somewhat brash guitar rock and Brits like that kind of thing. The Brits also like to use serious hyperbole, which is good and bad. It led to Oasis becoming bigger than god over there and promptly turning to shit, but it also leads to the […]
Alan Wilkis’ Babies Dream Big LP
I feel like a flake. Mr. Wilkis sent me Babies Dream Big a couple weeks ago and since then he’s recieved airplay on BBC radio show - not bad. Moving on…
…the problem with Babies Dream Big is the same problem that this here site suffers from - the inability to establish exactly what it […]

What I’ve Been Listening To: Vol. 1, P.7
Television - Marquee Moon (1977)
Marquee Moon is a great album. It was totally different when it was released in ‘77 and it’s still different today. Great albums seem to standout as different and special no matter how much time goes buy and how much music evolves. I guess that’s one sign of an albums greatness […]
