Blunt Objects – No One’s Coming

Blunt Objects – No One’s Coming – Album Review Has it really been since July that I last reviewed the music of Bill Owens in Blunt Objects?  That seems crazy to me…it still feels like it was just yesterday.  I mean…I know I was talking about him yesterday in reviewing a record by Big Bus […]Read More

The Spice Lads with Blunt Objects – Minor Miners

The Spice Lads with Blunt Objects – Minor Miners – Album Review “Enjoy at your own risk — your aural palate may never be quite the same…” Ohhhhhhhh you know a statement like that is gonna get my attention, yes indeed.

Blunt Objects – Safe At Home?

Blunt Objects – Safe At Home? – Album Review We’ll be wading in the era of pandemic tunes for many years to come y’all, I assure ya.  Whether they directly reflect on the situation or document the history of who we were & what was happening at the time, or whether it’s a matter of […]Read More

Blunt Objects – Call It Sex

Blunt Objects – Call It Sex – Album Review Call It Sex – because why not?  You could certainly call an album many things, and as far as I can tell, sex would qualify just like anything else would, would it not?  Like I always tell ya here on these pages of ours, we’ve all […]Read More

Blunt Objects – Pointy Rounds
