I’ve heard a lot of the solo work of the different members of this collective, but I just today learned about the late A$AP Yam, the producer of the Mob. His prolific career was cut short by another in the long string of accidental overdoses that have claimed so many members of the hip hopContinue reading “#422 – Cozy Tapes, Volume 1: Friends by A$AP Mob”

Happened upon this album the other night and was pleasantly surprised by both how much I enjoyed it and how great the guitar work is. I’ll be taking a deeper dive into the Cory Wong catalog in the coming weeks.

I haven’t listened to a new reggae artist in quite a while, so it was nice to discover these guys. They are about halfway between reggae and rock, so the seem like they’d be a bit more approachable to those who are not traditionally reggae fans.

I picked this album for today because I found a CD copy of it in my Mom’s car, which I was borrowing for a little day trip. I’m not sure that CDs are still in wide enough use to make many daily selections this way, but it might be a fun little detour for aContinue reading “#419 – Wild World by Bastille”

I always circle back to SRV from time to time as he was such a unique presence in the blues scene and was one of the guitarists who inspired me to take up the guitar.

This album was the perfect mood to break up a mildly torturous day of driving with 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year olds. A little bit of country, a little indie rock and bit of a mellow vibe really hit the spot.

#FreeBritney. I’m on vacation and don’t have enough time to get into all of my feelings about this particular perpetuation of the patriarchy, so I’ll just say this: Can we please let this poor pop superstar live her life? Can anyone out there imagine this happening to even the messiest male celebrity? Even Shia LeBoeufContinue reading “#413 – Britney Jean by Britney Spears”
