I have a friend who has been obsessed with these guys for a long time, but for some reason I never gave them a listen. There’s always a new opportunity to look back at my younger self with disdain and ridicule, and nothing has made that more apparent more often than this blog. It’s aContinue reading “#431 – B.R.M.C. by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club”

I’ve been hoping for a new Ween album for many years now, and I continue to hope that there is one coming down the pipe sooner than later. They are some of my favorite songwriters, with the kind of twisted sense of humor that attracts a certain kind of weirdo. Until that long awaited dayContinue reading “#430 – The Deaner Album by Dean Ween Group”

I used to listen to a lot of comedy albums, so it’s a little strange that it took me until now to pick one for a NAAD selection. The impact that Monty Python has had on my life cannot be overstated. The first time I saw Monty Python and The Holy Grail is indelibly etchedContinue reading “#429 – Monty Python’s Contractual Obligation Album by Monty Python”

Nothing like a little modern hardcore action on a sweltering California day. I grew up listening to a lot of loud, angry music, so albums like this kinda feel like going home again. It would seem that we are primed for a surge of aggressive music these days, what with the state of our nationContinue reading “#428 – Time & Space by Turnstile”

I really liked this one. At times, she really sounds a lot like Dolly Parton, which reminds me that I need more country in the blog, specifically from female country artists.

Of course, I also know people who are the opposite of that, but it often seems that there are far fewer of those types.Continue reading “#426 – The Lighthouse Project by amiina”

Anybody like some jammy hippyish stuff? Check these guys out.

Sometimes I come across a band that intrigues me for a very simple reason, like interesting album art or, in this case, the name of the group itself. The latter is true today. As soon as I saw the name Silver Jews I had to know what they sound like and I must say, IContinue reading “#424 – Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea by Silver Jews”

I discovered these guys on the tail end of a long day of travel. They’re a very entertaining blend of many different sounds and genres and are now high on my list of bands to see live as soon as possible.

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”
