SPIRITUAL MACHINES II has been out at an NFT since October 2021 and since my brain has yet to wrap itself around the NFT world, I had to wait for the traditional release of the album on Friday. Continue reading Track by Track: Spiritual Machines II by Our Lady Peace
“You did it. The crazy son of a bitch, you did it.” And that’s the quote that came to my mind when Kip Moore finally released fan favorite “Crazy One More Time (Revisited)” as a single. Not that he’s crazy for doing it. Fans have been wanting it since 2012’s album UP ALL NIGHT and so have those that worked in radio and records. Maybe … Continue reading 🔥Track: Crazy One More Time (Revisited) by Kip Moore
Been a fan of TWIN ATLANTIC ever since my record rep at the time, Bebop, said I should give them a listen. She knew what music I liked and never failed me. It’s probably the one thing I miss about working in radio, the connection of music lover to music lover. Anywho…back to TWIN ATLANTIC. The Scottish band released POWER in January 2020 and man … Continue reading Track by Track: Transparency by Twin Atlantic
Well, this was a particularly nice surprise to see on my Instagram feed yesterday. A brand spanking new 3 track EP from Superfine. From Rob Grad’s Instagram: I didn’t plan it, but sometimes things just happen. After 18 years, I recorded 3 new songs for my rock music project, Superfine. He continues: I was pulling my hair out (which is really not a smart thing … Continue reading Track by Track: The Sun is Coming by Superfine
First, I’m late to this. This 3 track EP came out the week I was wrapping up my Big Girl job for the year and well, time was not on my side to get this cranked out before the holidays. Second, NEW MUSIC FROM EVERYTHING!!!! Did you hear me? New (e:)!! I’m going to be straight up, I’m biased. I absolutely love this band so … Continue reading Track by Track: Peace, Love and Time by Everything
Back at the beginning of November, Matthew Ryan aka The Pines at Night announced the release of a new album called A Year of Novembers. It’s an album you have to spend time listening to. One is not likely to unearth the sheer beauty of the album in one listening. The more you listen to it, the more it shines and the more one will … Continue reading Track by Track: A Year of Novembers by The Pines at Night
I’ve been a fan of EMIGRATE ever since Richard Kruspe of RAMMSTEIN announced he had a solo project. So, let me be honest, there was a 99.9% chance I was going to dig this song even before hearing it. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had new music from EMIGRATE. Like 2.5 plus years long so, when EMIGRATE and Richard started positing on socials, … Continue reading 🔥Track: Freeze My Mind by Emigrate
Goddamn, what a banger of a track this is. Haven’t had new tunes from Twin Atlantic since 2020’s Power and well, this track makes it work the freaking wait! “Bang on the Gong” douses me in 70s disco vibes, Bee Gees style falsettos, and I am here for it. I simply cannot be in a bad mood listening to this song. Recently, it has been … Continue reading 🔥Track: Bang on the Gong by Twin Atlantic
WOOT! New track from Dräger! He is single-handedly satisfying my need for 80’s synth pop. Back in May this year, he dropped a delightful fun album called Goths a la Discotheque and now he’s hit me with a “Two Extremes” and it’s goddamn infectious. Currently the only type of infectious I care about since I’m in Lockdown 2.0. Anyway…it is a perfect song as I … Continue reading 🔥Track: Two Extremes by Dräger
