REVIEW: MICHAEL WEST – A FOND FAREWELL…
It’s quite fitting that the first song on the first album I review this year is about new beginnings. Maybe even for me too, as I don’t usually listen to much country or folk music. I blame it on my early associations with the South and the southern part of my family’s sometimes narrow state […]
Top 25 Albums of 2012: #3 – Imagine Dragons – Night Visions…
It’s a little crazy how quickly I became a fan of Imagine Dragons. This summer I bought a ticket to see Awolnation, and I soon saw that Imagine Dragons was the opening band. Who? Never heard of ’em. Then a friend played me “It’s Time” soon after. I liked it. It sounded a bit different. […]
Review: Kylie Minogue – The Abbey Road Sessions…
Kylie’s new album is sort of a companion piece to her recently released retrospective The Best of Kylie Minogue. But it is also the opposite side of the coin. We are used to hearing mainly immaculately produced pop tracks from Kylie, and while she usually shines on glossy dance tracks, The Abbey Road Sessions strips […]
Top 25 Albums of 2012: #4: Muse – The 2nd Law…

Top 25 Albums of 2012: #5… Foxy Shazam – Welcome To The Church of Rock and Roll
For Foxy Shazam, Rock and Roll is the *only* religion. Welcome To The Church of Rock and Roll isn’t just a title, it’s a battle cry! Now stand and turn with me to the book of Foxy, Chapter Four, Verse Two.. “Your music sucks, including us! It’s time we clear our name!” cries Eric Nally. […]

Review: Junkie XL – Synthesized…
It’s been four years since Mr. Tom Holkenborg graced us with the excellent Booming Back At You. In that time his harder edged style has gone from being the fringe to being the backbone of electro, EDM and dubstep artists. What always grabbed me with Junkie XL is his fearlessness to throw every idea into […]
