Boris – “Just Abandoned Myself” [2005]

Posted on October 18, 2018 by Very Warm

Looking for a good wash of noise to cleanse yourself in? Boris’ 2005 album Pink, their best in my humble opinion, has a closer that will do it for you in spades. This 18-minute assault starts fast and then combusts into … Continue reading →

Originally posted Feb. 13, 2011. Editor’s Note: This list was condensed into one post (it was originally 5 different posts leading up to #20 – #1 – how annoying!) and reformatted a bit on 9/20/2018. I’m thinking about revisiting this list, … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: August 2018

Posted on September 16, 2018 by Very Warm

August, like July, was a month that found me in a state of stasis. I improved on the zero-concert total of July by going to three in August. I went on vacation with family and took everything super slow and … Continue reading →

Mitski – “Blue Light” [2018]

Posted on August 27, 2018 by Very Warm

The new Mitski album, Be The Cowboy, is one of my favorite records of 2018 so far and it’s only been out for a little over two weeks. It exceeded all my expectations I had foolishly set about the record. It … Continue reading →

Recommended Albums: July 2018

Posted on August 11, 2018 by Very Warm

A bit late, but for a decent reason: nothing in July besides a handful of albums really grabbed me, shook me, piledrived me into the ground, turned me into soup, shot me into orbit, summoned me in a seance, or … Continue reading →
