Posted on February 8, 2016 by Very Warm

FULL DISCLOSURE: I promote this album & band to radio stations at my job. I loved this band before the job though, so I think it’s real love, but hey, if you wanna get political about it, here’s the little … Continue reading →

Thought I’d start a monthly recap thing on here. Think of this blog as a big net that’s cast over the stream of music that flows through the year and these are the “catches of the day,” in a way. There’s … Continue reading →

Wild Nothing – “To Know You” [2016]

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Very Warm

This song is fantastic, but the chorus really, REALLY reminds me of No Doubt’s version of “It’s My Life.” I’m actually watching that music video for the first time since probably 5th grade when it was on MTV almost every … Continue reading →

Slint – “Ron” [1989]

Posted on January 29, 2016 by Very Warm

Been getting more into Slint’s first record Tweez which is a lot better than I thought it was initially. Sure, Spiderland is almost completely different, but this has its own redeeming qualities, such as the signature Steve Albini production that makes the guitars extremely … Continue reading →

Owen Pallett – “Lewis Takes Off His Shirt” [2010]

Posted on January 14, 2016 by Very Warm

I remember obsessively listening to this song back in 2010. I remember going out and buying the vinyl because I got a record player for Christmas in 2009 and that song alone was enough justification to buy an entire record … Continue reading →

2015 Retrospective

Posted on January 7, 2016 by Very Warm

This is a 100-song playlist of songs that made 2015 unique from other years. Songs that I listened to a ton, songs I discovered for the first time, songs that hold immense emotional weight, and other assorted sonic ephemera. My … Continue reading →
