#345 – Don’t Shy Away by Loma

There are so many fronts on the war for America’s soul that it’s hard to know which to pay attention to. Before anyone gets too upset about using such terms, I obviously don’t mean it literally. The many investigations, trials and pending legislative actions that are capturing the attention have us all choosing sides. TheContinue reading “#345 – Don’t Shy Away by Loma”

#342 – Hope Street Tunnel Blues: Music for Piano by Philip Glass and Alvin Curran by Bruce Brubaker

Or a high-concept and slow-moving videoContinue reading “#338 – Maybe We’re The Visitors by Page McConnell”

#337 – Women In Music, Part III by HAIM

I’ve been following the career of HAIM for years, since I became obsessed with their song “Forever.” I then saw them at Bonnaroo and was supremely impressed with their live show. This album is another impressive offering from this trio of sisters. I added several of these songs to my go-to playlists and have alreadyContinue reading “#337 – Women In Music, Part III by HAIM”
