So at first, I was planning on writing how much I did not like the newest Kanye West album “808s and Heartbreak”. I was going to even make some claims about how the auto-tune should not be allowed to exist. It was going to be such a well thought-out post. But then I heard the… Continue reading Kanye, you did it to me again.

Jaren Love, Of The Lampshades!
Right now, Jaren Love (The lead singer and lead guitarist of the band “The Lampshades“) is just about to leave my room to go do his radio show. We just talked about a whole bunch of music, and things pertaining to music. Somewhere in that conversation he did an interview for me in which he… Continue reading Jaren Love, Of The Lampshades!

Titus Andronicus!
First of all, read this. I would not normally go to wikipedia for my source, but this article seems to sum it up quite nicely. In order to understand the band Titus Andronicus, you must first understand what it means to be Titus Andronicus. Ok. Good. Now that you understand what it means to be… Continue reading Titus Andronicus!
Starfucker!
I really get Starfucker. This is because I have always wanted to hold a terribly depressing dance party in my apartment. Starfucker has managed to take that feeling and compress it into one self-titled album. There are three members of Starfucker, although I have no idea what their names are. Come to think of it,… Continue reading Starfucker!
Some notes about Personal Identity and Music
No one ever told me that I had to just write about bands that I love. I think it is fair to assume that I can write about my love of music as a whole. The reason for this being that there are bigger issues at hand than just one band. One band does not… Continue reading Some notes about Personal Identity and Music
Mike Wexler!
With a voice that can only be described as “Sandy” (and believe me…I have tried), Mike Wexler is a fine addition to anyone’s collection of…psychedelic folk? Regardless of what you want to call it, Wexler’s 2007 release “Sun Wheel” is full of amazing melodies and soft, yet epic moments.

HEALTH!
Coming out of the noise-rock Mecca that is Los Angeles, HEALTH is a fine example of why people should give noise a chance. Their 2007 release “HEALTH” on Lovepump United is currently being played on repeat about every 30 minutes on my iPod. That should be reason enough to not only check them out, but… Continue reading HEALTH!
