[06.19.2017] Eli Raybon’s cents of style is a great way to corner what he brings to the music scene because it describes as lo-fi accessibility that’s driven by raw talent and with little expense. Maybe people who start bands don’t crunch numbers anymore to see if they can afford to pull it off. Continue reading
Mystery Loves Company in many ways is a mystery to me. Their songs are original enough to rely on their own groove, which I couldn’t fully understand and have had to stay on their ride for a bit before I started to get it. Continue reading
Singers, songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists like Mike Llerena are built for battle. They’re a lot like members of those civilian brigades you read about who will do everything to defend their homes, families, and crops from attack.

The sound of The Big East has been described by some as yacht rock. According to their official site, they have even taken the initiative in describing themselves as “cottage rock” and/or:
“If the Steve Miller Band met the Flaming Lips and jammed down at the dock by the cottage…“
which is accurate to a certain point on their new album Hungry Ghosts. Continue reading
A map to Duarte, California might as well be a map to another dimension where regrets and grievances live. Perhaps Duarte has something similar to the hum in Taos where it drives some people crazy, or in this case, causes them to hold court with their demons. With Les Bohem’s Moved To Duarte, we find him moving in and out of a mosaic of motifs and life experiences which only he seems capable of mastering. Continue reading
The music of TJ Doyle exceeds all expectations. That you would have any that are less than to expect greatness, is troubling. Get that looked at! Actually, you should just jump right into TJ Doyle’s music because when you do, you’ll encounter all the pleasantries you should expect from any first meeting where you find that you’re in great company.

It’s true that for every aural artist who makes the journey to find their own sound, a small amount eventually will. For some, it’s a long, exhaustive pursuit and they might give up before they finally see it through. But for others, it’s a much easier feat, which I imagine was the case for Katie Burden, whose new release Strange Moon is a result of being persistent to get to where she believes she should be. There’s no doubt in that case that when she got there, what she found was as much of a surprise for her as it is to us.
(Blasting News) – The second Presidential Debate with Donald Trump showed that he was sniffing again, just as he did during the first one, causing others to come out and again suggest that he’s doing cocaine. And recently, when Star Wars‘ Carrie Fisher was live tweeting during the second Presidential Debate, she also tweeted about her experience with coke and that there was no doubt he was using.
The Blasting News opinion piece asks, why this should be so strange? Because, he says that he doesn’t drink or do drugs? Because it would make him look even more immoral than he already does, if it were discovered that he was does cocaine? Why can’t a bump or two before a debate, be any different from taking some ibuprofen to get through it? The guy is on the ropes right now and there’s no doubt, he might also be on the stuff.

(Inquisitr) – Star Trek Nemesis was shown on television over the weekend, which is perhaps the only way one can be forced to watch it since it’s one of the most ignored of the Star Trek movies.
Imagine the years go by without watching it again, caught up with other more interesting “things” only to see it again, finding that you have time to watch it and then find out a few things about the making of, which was not as possible in 2002 as it is today?
It takes that kind of passing of time to find out that things change and, Star Trek Nemesis is a better movie for it.
