Smashing Pumpkins – Siamese Dream

Hooo boy, here we go. First off, I want to dedicate this blawg entry to my good friend BBH (that’s BB FREAKI’N H to somayous), without whom I would possibly never have given the Smashing Pumpkins a well-deserved second shot at winning my heart over with thier unique brand of rockin’. See, I used to [...]

Poor Old Lu – Sin

After yesterday’s abysmal entry about an album I actually kinda dig (except, well, you probably know), I decided it’s time to write about an album I really like. In fact, it’s one of those albums from my past that I can remember owning on cassette for years before even starting a compact disc collection. I’m-a-talkin’ [...]

John Linnell – State Songs

Is it strange that I’m writing about one of the two Johns in the band They Might Be Giants and his solo album when I’ve only covered one album by the band itself so far? The answer is “no”, not when we’re talking about John Linnell and his sole solo album, State Songs: The album [...]

Chevelle – Point #1

I am not a Chevelle fan. If you have a list of Chevelle fans and my name popped up there among the frat boys and guys who like metal but are too chicken for metal bands, and especially if being a fan means I like any album produced after their debut, you may cross my [...]

The Presidents Of The United States Of America – The Presidents Of The United States Of America

And the winner for longest blog post title goes to… I figure, on our first day of having a new President of the United States of America, we should celebrate with probably the best album having to do with that particular office ever. Also we’re apparently in a time of great change what with our [...]

Jeff Buckley – Grace

In what I can only assume is yet another grand example of my total ignorance of popular music from a time I should have been listening to it, I totally missed the Jeff Buckley boat. About 8 years ago, I heard a friend play a song called “Hallelujah”, and since this was a particularly good [...]

Supergrass – Supergrass

I couldn’t help but notice I’m doing two eponymous albums in a row, which should be unusual, but come on there are SO MANY OF THEM. Leave me alone! Jeeze. Usually self-titled (or EPONYMOUS for people who like to be smart) albums are debuts. I don’t know why that is, because you’d think a group [...]

Soul Coughing – Irresistible Bliss

I’ve been going nuts recently with the purchasing of new music, and abusing my Zune Marketplace privileges by downloading a dozen albums I have yet to purchase, and transferring them to my player, so that’s ironically been keeping me from actually listening to my new music, since I never listen to music on my actual [...]
