Hello ones and all,So, can you smell it? Here in NE territory, it’s starting to smell something like Fall; which means, to the undiscerning music listener, fall CD releases. Right now I’m thinking of the Flaming Lips’ new one, due Oct 13th. Just crossing my fingers to see if that one gets through.Sorry for the seeming drought of CD reviews, for some reason I’ve been not getting a whole lot back.

(Or purchasing mansions.)Okay, so that’s maybe the top 1% of bands. Regardless: go forth, young people, and indulge in music.-MgmtRead More →

Hello viewers,Apologies for the lateness, but I recently found myself bound and gagged on a flight to Maine. It was fun, there were steamers and lobsters galore, and I would recommend it for anyone who’s a fan of five-hour car drives. I know I said “flight,” but I also took a meticulous calculation of how long it would take via SUV.As for the blog, expect more cutting-edge music.
