Spotify presented me with a category called Rock 1972 this morning and this album was the first one I came across in there that I had not heard before. Turns out that was quite the prolific year.

I was listening to some Nipsey Hussle when I came across the track he was featured in from this album. Hip Hop has been underrepresented on the blog recently, so we’ll have to do something about that.

This band has shifted their lineup around fairly regularly through their career. I had to check out this album when I learned that Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde of Primus were in the band at that time.

I overheard a conversation about this artist the other day and had to check them out. Honestly, I’m a little surprised I never came across them. When they were releasing their first few albums, I was at my peak of heavy music fandom. To be fair, I don’t think suburban white males were necessarily inContinue reading “#888 – Paranoid & Sunburnt by Skunk Anansie”

I have a few email subscriptions that provide me with a lot of my daily selections.

I was completely obsessed with Imogen Heap a few years ago, having seen her extraordinary performance at LA’s Greek Theater. If you’ve been following pop music for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard some of her work, whether you’re aware of it or not.

Yesterday’s selection led me to my all-too-familiar pastime of picking the next day’s selection off of Spotify’s “fans also like” section. It has never steered me wrong yet. Jinx!

One of my frequent sorrows as a music fan is my love of artists that have passed away or are no longer creating new music for whatever reason. I will ravenously devour any of their work that I have never experienced and seek out anything similar, or featuring their past collaborators. Frank died before IContinue reading “#883 – Philadelphia 1980 by Frank Zappa”

There are a few songs from The Barr Bros’ previous album that I have long been obsessed with, so it feels a little silly that it took me so long to branch out further into their catalog.
