The Art of the Gimmick: A Greta Van Fleet Story

Good Afternoon, Evening, or wherever the hell your time zone is. As I continually reiterate my apologies for my lack of presence on my most cherished medium of musical ranting, I would like the record to show that I have not been off the grid completely. In fact, I have started writing for a notable…

Sup? Want Some Music?

Hello, it’s me (imagine me saying this in a Todd Rungrent voice). I realize that many of you, or maybe just three of you, have questioned why I have taken an unexplained leave of absence in posting pieces. As promised, many times actually, I would like to publish something once, if not, twice a week….

Friday’s Music Slate

So last night, right after I finished the 30 for 30 on John Calipari’s legacy, I got the chance to listen to DAMN. As many know, Kendrick’s music has gotten me through plenty of hard times, but nonetheless, every time I hear a new song from him, I radiate. I am not going to devote…

7 Best New Songs of March

The accompaniment of the horns, lush background singing, and symphonic undertones takes me to a place filled with incense and 70’s décor.   “123” by Girlpool Girlpool returns with their first single since…
