This is the 1999 album by a band that is a side project of legendary Primus drummer Tim Alexander. I just saw Primus a couple weeks ago (spoiler alert: it was awesome, as always) so they were fresh in my mind when I came across a little blurb about Laundry on another music account IContinue reading “#1530 – Motivator by Laundry”

One of my musical blind spots is EDM, so I’m always grateful when somebody shines a light on somebody like this who I was not really aware of. This one was recommended by a coworker/fellow music enthusiast. Turns out they were at Coachella this year, and I actually did see a little bit of theirContinue reading “#1529 – ULTRAKUNST by Brutalismus 3000”

Finally, a nice breakup album that’s not by Taylor Swift!

I love a good instrumental band, displaying their virtuosity instead of trying to write lyrics. Nothing is right for everyone, as I’ve become annoyingly fond of saying, so an artist staying in their lane and doing what they do best always shines through for me.

My Dad and brother saw these guys in Boston last night, were raving about the show and sent me the new album to check out, and it is indeed a very solid offering by people with a long history of solid offerings.

I’m getting ready to see post-rock powerhouse Caspian on Saturday night, so I’ve been diving deeper than ever into a genre where I frequently reside. Enter this album, which perfectly fits with that theme.

I started listening to Sturgill Simpson after he was a guest on a TV show I worked on and some of his stories really resonated with me. That said, I’m not exactly a super fan, as demonstrated by the fact that I was not aware of his health troubles and departure from the music industryContinue reading “#1523 – Passage Du Desir by Johnny Blue Skies”

Following the announcement that the first EDM show at the Sphere will be on New Years Eve and will feature Anyma. It’s just one night so far, so I’m sure the ticket prices will quickly become astronomical, as befits any venue in the MSG family. As someone who has just barely dipped their toe intoContinue reading “#1522 – Endless by Tale of Us”
