10 Best Songs: U.S. Girls
One of my favorite bands (and also specifically – LIVE bands) over the last six years, U.S. Girls has carved a niche all of their own, full of bravely experimental and confrontational disco and funk, tackling themes of domestic abuse, … Continue reading →
Playlist: Heist On The Highway – High-Stakes Soul
The playlists just keep coming. I accumulated a good amount of funky jazz + adjacent jams and thought to string them together into a cinematic thriller; reminding me of fictional spy movies from the 50s and 60s, full of music … Continue reading →
2010s Retrospective: 10 Years of Discoveries, Obsessions and True Moments
Well folks, welcome to my most indulgent, most confessional, most self-referential and truly most vain post on the blog. This is probably playing it up, but I’ve written a lot about myself on here. The dang header image is literally … Continue reading →
The 100 Best Songs of 2020
I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it seemed like the concept of “favorite songs” went out the window in 2020. Maybe it’s because I usually listen to albums at home and playlists on the move, so there wasn’t … Continue reading →
The Best Albums + Songs of 2020 So Far

Recommended Albums: March 2020
Well you don’t need me to tell you how crazy March was for everyone. If your March wasn’t absolutely insane, one of the craziest months you’ve ever lived through, I’ve got to worry about your perception, or really worry about … Continue reading →
Recommended Albums: February 2020
Man – this post should be about February but I feel like all I’m gonna talk about is March right now. It’s been a doozy so far and I don’t mean in a good way. I hope you all are … Continue reading →
The 200 Best Songs of the 2010s
It’s been a minute, but I’m back with more Best of the Decade content. This time it’s breaking down my 200 favorite songs of the decade, which was obviously no easy task. In my opinion, picking 200 albums was so … Continue reading →
The 200 Best Albums of the 2010s
To celebrate 10 years of Warm Visions / Combo Breaker Kid, I’ve compiled my 200 favorite albums of the 2010s. Not only that, but I’ve concocted “Warm Visions” descriptions and wrote blurbs about each record. I’m sure you can infer … Continue reading →
Best of 2019 :: Live Experiences
I saw a lot of shows this year. The most out of any year period. There were multiple weeks where I went to a concert every night. Was it healthy? Maybe. I probably didn’t eat very well those weeks. I … Continue reading →
