Spring Valley Drive-Thru – Quack – EP Review I’m gonna start this off by telling you something you won’t hear from other music critics and reviewers out there, because generally speaking, they ain’t gonna tell you the truth.  Here’s the reality though – dedicated listening…REAL listening…is NOT fucking easy – and I know this is […]Read More

Usmansax – Hépíng

Usmansax – Hépíng – EP Review You’re never going to find me complaining about more saxophone-based tunes coming my way.

Garage T. Rashington III – Acoustic Slop

Garage T. Rashington III – Acoustic Slop – Album Review ADULT CONTEMPORARY.  Fuck. Okay, I’m kidding.  It’s not that. A DUDE AND A GUITAR.  Acoustic Slop. Alright, that’s what it is, but it’s probably fair to say it’s more than that too. I’ll tell ya this much, this guy is never gonna be normal in […]Read More
