Hot Chip What’s fascinating about Hot Chip is how much their style evolves from album to album yet some how they manage to keep the unique Hot Chip sound in tact. What is the sound you ask? It’s the sound of electrical pulses hitting you from every dimension – 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even the […]
Asthmatic Kitty Records has some pretty cool stuff going on with their catalog series that includes a number of popular artists playing instrumental music based on certain themes (Insomnia, Tropical Savagery, Memory). Their hope is that this music will eventually play as background music for when you’re doing dishes, commuting, cooking, sleeping (or trying […]
Ever wonder what it’s like to take a shower in a stink bomb? Well, come to Iceland and you’ll be close to the experience. I thought there may be something wrong with the pipes in our hotel, Leif Erickkson. Nope, that’s just the natural smell when you run hot water. The ground here is alive […]
Going to be a busy week so throwing up this quick post and that’s probably all she wrote until after the holiday. Below are a few recommended albums that I’ve recently picked up and a couple of gigs happening in Boston that are worth mentioning. Let me know if you’ve got anything to add in […]

Right after SXSW this year, I kept a keen eye on my Twitter feeds to see what bands were loved, hated, obsessed over and caught the biggest buzz. One that sneaked into my radar and apparently sneaked under most was the Futurebirds.I’m a big fan of Aquarium Drunkard so it would make sense then […]
First, let me start by saying if you’ve never heard the track “Starting Five” by Dios, then take a second to listen now: Yup, pretty damn catchy. You’re probably thinking they’re the beachy, sunny, poppy band you’ve been searching for your whole life. Like they say in places where weather is unpredictable – if you […]
Yup, it’s officially been a month since I last posted. I’m sure you’ve all been missing me. In all seriousness, for those of us who don’t get paid to blog, we do it for our own sanity. Otherwise, if we didn’t let the noise that builds up in our brains out we may explode. So […]
