MSTRKRFT is the only acceptable reason for Death From Above 1979 to break up. I really could not handle the break-up of one of my favorite bands to randomly happen…unless something just as awesome were to come out of it. So when “The Looks” came out in 2006, everything was ok in the world. If… Continue reading Fist of God or I heart MSTRKRFT

The Mint Chicks!
We here at Knox Road would not normally talk about a band like the Mint Chicks. The reason for this is because we really don’t talk about bands from New Zealand a lot. Especially Jamie. But for this one time I will make an exception. The Mint Chicks describe themselves as “Troublegum Pop.” I have… Continue reading The Mint Chicks!
B.o.B
I think I have some sort of a connection to the rap artist B.o.b. If you can figure out why, I’ll shake your hand. Anyway, his newest single “I’ll be in the sky” is playing on heavy rotation on the music video circuit. And I normally wouldn’t care about the music video circuit, but every… Continue reading B.o.B
Incredibad:An Opinion
I have a firm belief that one cannot review a comedic album. Who the hell am I to decide what it is that should be universally known as funny? No one, thats who. But what I can do is tell you whether or not I found it funny. So this is not a review, but… Continue reading Incredibad:An Opinion

Five nights of Thievery Corporation
The 930 club in DC is going to be hosting Thievery Corporation tonight. And for the next four nights in a row. It blows my mind how quickly the first three shows sold out. So what do they do? Put up another two. How quickly do those sell out? Lets just say that I refreshed… Continue reading Five nights of Thievery Corporation
The ability to reinvent yourself.
As I was listening to “The Shape Of Punk To Come” by Swedish hardcore band Refused, I was immediately reminded of the time when I thought genres of music were defined by one or two bands. I used to think that all punk rock would sound like NOFX and every band before 1980 was Led… Continue reading The ability to reinvent yourself.

In the cold, cold winter.
I have a friend who thinks about music in terms of what season it falls in. This person has some albums and bands that he correlates with “summer.” Since this is turning out to be a cold winter season, I began to think about what music reminds me of winter. I start with one of… Continue reading In the cold, cold winter.
