Porter Robinson – Nurture

Git yer pacifiers and X ready, because we're going clubbin'! I first heard Porter Robinson on a Coachella livestream and it was the best sounding DJ/EDM artist I'd heard in awhile. I don't particularly care for this type of music and I recognize that the younger generations are hella into it for some reason. Nurture does not have the bombast of other EDM DJs,…

Dinosaur Jr. – Sweep It Into Space

About everyone who listened to the radio in the mid-1990s has heard Feel the Pain by Dinosaur Jr. but probably not much else. They went through some career ups and downs, but they are back now, rocking, and pretty old. You can't deny the guitar virtuosity of J. Mascis, and his tortured vocals are pretty good, too. Lou Barlow, also from Folk Implosion, plays…

Field Music – Flat White Moon

Field Music is a British band I've been listening to for awhile. They are very stylistically all over the place. I usually just say Indie Rock, because it's too hard to get into the details. This album, Flat White Moon, is a romping good time of Indie Rock. The song Not When You're In Love has such a fun rhythm to it. It's like…

Sufjan Stevens – Revelations

Annnnnnd we're back! Sufjan's third part of the five-part Convocations album is called Revelations and I'm digging this one a bit more than the last one. It's light and airy. Soothing at times and kind of jarring at others. The 8th track Revelation VIII sounds like something you'd hear in a Poltergeist movie, almost like Sufjan is stuck inside a TV static. I also…

The Prize Fighter Inferno – The City Introvert

Claudio Sanchez, the lead singer/guitarist for Coheed & Cambria, has a solo side project called The Prize Fighter Inferno. The first Prize Fighter album, My Brother's Blood Machine, came out in 2006 as a kind of acoustic electro, weirdly folk album. It was meant to be kind of a side story to the grandiose sci-fi story being told with Coheed & Cambria's music and…

The Mars Volta – Landscape Tantrums

It was recently announced that all of The Mars Volta's catalog of albums would be released in a ginormous box set of vinyl called La Realidad De Los Suenos. As part of that set is this newly remastered and compiled recordings from the first sessions for De-Loused in the Comatorium, The Mars Volta's first album. Due to its historical significance, they also decided to…

10 to Midnight (1983)

Look out, serial killers, Charles Bronson is coming for your ass. After having watched a few Death Wish movies, I decided to try something similar but not exactly the same. The biggest difference here is that the character, Leo Kessler, is a detective who takes some liberties with the law, but is not quite the full-on vigilante revenge killer as Paul Kersey from the…
