Album A Day: Mitch Hedberg – Strategic Grill Locations

Artist: Mitch Hedberg
Album: Strategic Grill Locations
Release Date: September 7, 1999
Fact: Mitch Hedberg dressed up for the CD
It’s been said before that Mitch Hedberg was the Kurt Cobain of comedy. Consequently, it’s also been said that Dane Cook is the Nickelback/Chad Kroeger of comedy. Both are probably more accurate than anyone realizes. Obviously, the [...]

Album A Day: My Chemical Romance – The Black Parade

Artist: My Chemical Romance
Album: The Black Parade
Release Date: October 24, 2006
I’m sure the fact that I’ve given both MCR records the Album A Day treatment is going to earn me some hate mail, but I regret nothing. For all the reasons one might hate on My Chemical Romance, and trust me, I’m well aware [...]

Album A Day: Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Artist: Wilco
Album: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Release Date: April 23, 2002 (Official), September 18, 2001 (Leak/Stream)
I have a very strange relationship with Wilco. Put very simply, Wilco are an example of how one person can totally ruin my attitude toward a band. I had a roommate not too long ago who was a stereotypical indie kid if [...]

Album A Day: TV on the Radio – Dear Science

Artist: TV on the Radio
Album: Dear Science
Release Date: September 23, 2008
For a number of reasons legitimate and otherwise, I didn’t get around to hearing Dear Science until very recently, even though it was named the Best Album of 2008 by many (not me). Honestly, its not something I would have ever normally picked up were [...]

Album A Day: Teddy Geiger – Step Ladder EP

Artist: Teddy Geiger
Album: Step Ladder EP
Release Date: June 7, 2005
Teddy Geiger is a kid about my age best known for his appearance in the unfortunate The Rocker and the short-lived Tom Cavanaugh TV series Love Monkey (a criminally underappreciated show). Step Ladder was his self-released debut, and even though Geiger has pretty much fallen off [...]

Album A Day: Deftones – Adrenaline

Artist: Deftones
Album: Adrenaline
Release Date: October 3, 1995
That was: Before the word “screamo” meant anything to anyone
I’ve tried to listen to and appreciate the music of the Deftones a couple times over the last several years. They’ve been recommended to me nearly every time I mention that I like Linkin Park. But to this day I’ve [...]

Things I’ve Heard Lately

Been meaning to write this post for most of the last week, but life keeps on happening and delaying my writing it.
So Linkin Park has already been confirmed to be working on the soundtrack to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and they released their new single/song from the film last week. According to Mike Shinoda, [...]

Album A Day: P!nk – M!ssundaztood

Artist: P!nk
Album: M!ssundaztood
Release Date: November 20, 2001
P!nk’s Hair Color when this album came out: Still pink*
So is it P!nk or Pink?: Ruling on the field (or her album covers) says its definitely P!nk
So through my own lack of attention to the details and evidently a weird posting on one of my music forums, I’m [...]
