Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – “Jubilee Street (Live In Copenhagen)” [2018]

Posted on November 1, 2018 by Very Warm

On October 26, 2018, I saw Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds perform at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It was one of the best shows I’ve seen all year. I’m not even a massive fan of Nick Cave. I’m pretty familiar with Skeleton … Continue reading →

Posted on October 29, 2018 by Very Warm

With the end of the 10s rapidly approaching and with it, an inevitable decade-recapping list, I felt a deep inspiration to look back at my previous effort to summarize a decade’s musical output. I made a list of The 100 … Continue reading →

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 →

Posted on September 21, 2018 by Very Warm

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 →

Posted on September 16, 2018 by Very Warm

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 →
