I’m not gonna lie, these guys are not exactly my cup of tea, but even with that caveat, this is still a pretty entertaining album.

I was listening to the metal opus that is Slayer’s Seasons in the Abyss and realized that it had been a while since I selected a good heavy album. I’ve heard of these guys before and always assumed that they were Japanese because of their name. Nope, French. Metal is one of the few genresContinue reading “#968 – Magma by Gojira”

This artist really embodies the spirit of garage rock, with much of his catalog being self-produced in a modest home studio and able to be performed in a solo acoustic setting.

Ever since I listened to a Lil’ Wayne album a few weeks ago, I’ve been working my way through a bunch of material from artists that he is associated with in some way. Birdman is the stage name of powerhouse producer and Cash Money Records CEO Bryan Williams who is an extremely influential figure inContinue reading “#961 – From The Bayou by Youngboy Never Broke Again & Birdman”

Every so often I wait until late in the day to listen to an album.
