While I never consider any album I select to be regrettable, there are certainly good times and bad times for everything. So what to do when the choice feels wrong? How does one right the ship and move forward instead of putting it all permanently in the rear view? It sounds so melodramatic in theContinue reading “#221 – Soul Explosion by The Daktaris”

Under different circumstances, I would’ve been all about this album of ethereal, industrial mood music. As it was, however, it caught me in a bit of a gloomy mood and served only to enhance that. Very interesting, though, and right up my alley, so I’ll definitely be giving it more attention in the future.

Great album…

Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, it’s time to start preparing for the next pseudo-religious, consumer-driven solstice celebration.  The Christmas season is particularly irritating, with a full month of repetitious music and spendy build-up to the standard family confrontations and manufactured stress that makes us so nostalgic for the simpler days of our childhoods.  RememberContinue reading “#205 – Songs For Christmas by Sufjan Stevens”

This is an excellent album by a prolific and influential songwriter that should really be a lot more famous than he is. If you’ve listened to much rock music from the 70s and 80s, you’ve almost definitely heard a song of his.

Up next in my list of bands that I never gave a chance to because someone was too insistent…

I hope everybody out there is staying safe and taking the recommended precautions. In many ways, it feels like America is perched at the edge of a cliff with quite a few options for how to get pushed over. This may well prove to be the most disastrous Thanksgiving ever, as a significant amount ofContinue reading “#196 – Jurassic Technologie by Pr0files”

I keep gravitating towards certain genres and have really ignored others. Country has always been underrepresented here and in my listening habits, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally find something that I can appreciate. I also find Sturgill Simpson’s story very interesting, as he decided to seriously pursue a career in music inContinue reading “#195 – Metamodern Sounds In Country Music by Sturgill Simpson”

I was listening to the new Kanye single today, which features 2 Chainz and DaBaby, and realized 2 Chainz was overdue for an appearance on NAAD. Also, “Nah Nah Nah” is a solid track. It’s amazing that Kanye can produce music while running a presidential campaign.
