Album A Day: Oasis – Definitely Maybe

Artist: Oasis Album: Definitely Maybe Release Date: August 30, 1994 New Rule: The Gallagher Brothers Must Fight to the Death Yes, I know that the point is kind of moot now that Liam has left Oasis and the band is now defunct. But I still feel that the sibling rivalry needs to be settled once [...]

Moment of Zen: The End of the World Will Be Set to Pink Floyd

So a friend of mine tweeted an article that said that an asteroid got kinda close to Earth last night; it wasn’t anything big enough to end the planet like in one of Michael Bay’s wet dreams, but the concept is still kinda creepy. Especially since the article linked to the video below, which will [...]

Tonight: Paramore, The Swellers and Paper Route at The Electric Factory in Philadelphia!

I don’t know if I brought this up on the site or not before now, but tonight will see me at The Electric Factory on 7th & Willow in Philly, where I’ll be partaking in the sights and sounds of The Swellers, Paper Route and headliner Paramore. My love for Paramore’s new album brand new [...]

Album A Day: Miles Davis – Kind of Blue

Just when you thought that the Album A Day series was getting predictable and running out of steam, I make a point of pulling this baby out of nowhere. Artist: Miles Davis Album: Kind of Blue Release Date: August 17, 1959 I’m not even going to pretend to know what makes a jazz album enjoyable. [...]

Garth Brooks Comes Out Of Retirement, Doesn’t Burn Chris Gaines Wig; Meh, Close Enough.

So just this past Sunday I introduced one of our New Rules, the edicts, demands and laws to be enacted when my roommate and I become supreme czars of music. This rule involved Garth Brooks return to country music. Just a few short days later, Brooks announced he was doing just that. Before a crowd [...]

Album A Day: Dashboard Confessional – The Wire Tapes, Vol. 1

Artist: Dashboard Confessional Album: The Wire Tapes, Vol. 1 Released: 2007 I’m posting this tonight to distract you from the fact that I didn’t have a better idea for an album today, as its been a long week, and I’m storing up a few good ideas for this and other posts over the coming days [...]

Album A Day: Weezer – Weezer (The Green Album)

Artist: Weezer Album: Weezer (The Green Album) Release Date: May 15, 2001 Let’s not beat around the bush, shall we? It’s a shitty day outside. Pretty much all over the east coast (and from what I’ve heard via Twitter, most of the rest of the country), it sucks outside. Rainy, cold, windy…all the things that [...]

Album A Day: Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American

Artist: Jimmy Eat World Album: Bleed American / Jimmy Eat World Release Date: July 18, 2001 This album is probably among my brother’s favorite records ever. It isn’t his birthday or any other significant day in his life to my knowledge, so that fact has virtually no bearing on why I opted to listen to [...]

Tuesday Night Roundup: New Music Plus A Shocking Confession

OK, so have you ever found yourself listening to a song, bopping along to it, enjoying it sufficiently and considering buying/pirating it once you find out who its performed by? And then you realize what it is you’ve been enjoying and who sings it, and you suddenly feel ill and want to chop off your [...]

Album A Day: Barenaked Ladies – Gordon

Artist: Barenaked Ladies Album: Gordon Release Date: July 28, 1992 I, like a bazillion other people, got to know the Barenaked Ladies via their Greatest Hits album from awhile back. Two of my favorite tracks from that set, the goofy “If I Had $1000000″ and “What A Good Boy” originated from this album. But I’m [...]
