So y’all,It’s that time of the year to take a break, kick back from what ails ya, and just relax. No, not you, I meant me: I’m going to take a blog-cation from CD reviews this week and the next. It’s been pretty taxing and all hunting down CDs, and getting them out to you on time… no, cake isn’t necessary for me, but I’ll take it all the same…Your assignment: keep on keeping on. See you on the 16th!-Mgmt.Read More →

Oh well, c’est la vie…Hang tight! I’ll stay up all night if I have to get you something!-MgmtRead More →
Hello fellow music-abusers,Just going to warn you that I’m going to move into concert reviews as well; unfortunately, they’ll be restricted to my immediate range of motion (and how much gas I can put in my car). Expect to hear from Deer Tick and hopefully others soon. Benefits from such a policy:You’ll get an idea if the band’s that good in person. If you were unaware, there is a huge difference between a live band and a studio band; think the difference between eating oranges and orange jello.(The jello will also be shaped like oranges).Negatives: It’ll obviously be after the fact. You’ll have to catchRead More →
