A New Episode of The Drip →
It’s a new episode of The Drip! Back, a podcast from my label Melting Records with Todd Bruhnsen, Danny Potter, and myself. In this episode we pay tribute to Captain Beefheart and preview The Fuzz. Check it!
Welcome Danny Potter!
Since I’ve had so much trouble keeping up in here, I’ve been looking for help. So here’s my fellow music junkie, collaborator and good pal Danny Potter to do just that. Be prepared for more weirdness from both of us. Enjoy!

My friend Danny Potter made a mix for some friends (including me) of weirdo music. I thought I’d share it with you cats.

Current Tunes
It’s too late for me to post a review today (I work midnights so it’s real late for me right now), but I thought I’d leave you with a list of records I’ve had on repeat for a bit. And here we go:
‘The Presidents of the United States’ by The Presidents of the United States
‘How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul???’ by Public...

MIXTAPE CHALLENGE: Intro to You! →
HOW TO PUT TOGETHER YOUR TAPE
Your mixtape should be ten tracks long and consist of five tracks on each side.
Side ‘A’ should represent the positive, happy bits.
Side ‘B’ should represent the not so happy bits, but end on a good note.
Songs can be by any artist.
Pick your songs…
A challenge for everyone, while I get back to writing.

Amongst Giants EP
I know this took me awhile to get to but I recently (and finally) got a new job. So I’ve been focussing on that for about a week. Anyway this only half a review for the suggestion left for me awhile back about the downriver “metal” band, Amongst Giants. It won’t take long.
I’m just gonna tell you right out, I don’t like it…at all. To be honest, this...

Anonymous asked: fuck yeah man. not quite sure how i stumbled upon this, but the rant really resonates (fun with the letter "R"). if you looked at me you would never guess the music i listen to. which is VERY broad, from Bach to Brujeria. any ways, thanks!

Music is All I Have
I just finished watching the film, ‘Almost Famous’. I’m sure most of you have seen it, but if you haven’t here’s the gist of it. A very smart kid growing up in a strict home discovers rock’n’roll in the early 1970’s and dreams of being a journalist. He reads Creem Magazine like it’s his Bible and comes to meet one his heroes and editor of...
Oh No...
I don’t know why the review I wrote didn’t post. It now seems to be missing. Sorry about that. I’ll have to re-write. Grrr.
Anyway, I’ll something else up later today. Stay tuned, loyal followers.

While You Wait
I’ll have a new review up tomorrow but while you wait, maybe all you new followers would like to know more about me. I have an About Page with some stuff on it. And if you wanna check out some of my music, go here. Thanks. Tomorrow a review.

No Review Today. Just a Rant.
So I’ve been tossing this idea around lately that instead of just doing music reviews I’d also write about music in general and the musical culture. Opinion pieces and whatnot. Let’s try it out and see how it goes.
Hipsters and Other Such Bullshit Terms
Lately the internet has been a fire with people that have come to be called hipsters. From what I gather, and I may be...

This Week...
This week I’m doing another theme of reviews. Instead of one artist this time I’ve decided to shine a light on one of the most unrecognized type of rock’n’roll musician, females. That’s right, this week it’s all about the girls with guitars, Riot Grrrls and any other female rock godess. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for some girl power.
