This was a roaringly quick listen, and Killer Queen is such a classic track, love it. I had no idea that Stone Cold Crazy was originally a Queen song as I've only ever heard covers of it. The record is a wild ride, ranging from arena rock to power ballads to surprisingly thrashy,…

Stevie Wonder is a master musician and singer, and this entire record is a stunning sonic journey. From the song arrangements to the production, everything is so tight and immaculate. Even clocking in at over 90 minutes, it's a deep listen that covers an incredible amount of musi…

Ok, so this one may not be entirely fair as I'm pretty certain I've listened to this album before, and most definitely the singles. Maybe it just feels that way because the singles are locked in my brain. It's a fantastic pop record. The production is immaculate and so tight, w…

I can hear why this album matters and in the countless bands it influenced. Listening to it, I respect the mark it made, but it's just not for me. Still, I guarantee I'll love something new down the line, only to hear someone say, 'See? They wouldn't exist without Joy Division,' …

I love music, but it's impossible to hear everything. Over the next year, I'm challenging myself to listen to at least 100 albums that are new to me. Mostly digging back into the archives, records I probably should've heard by now, or where I've only heard a song or two. I'll b…

Back in June, I talked about filming a bunch of content. I had some themes, kind of an idea in my head of what I wanted to post about over the summer.

I know Tears for Fears but can't say I've ever sat down and really listened to a full album from them. Finally sitting down and listening to Songs from the Big Chair. While I know the hits, I don't know this record at all. Stand out so far is Mothers Talk and the production is ti…

We need to know, who put the bomp!?!?

Pop goodness from Marching Band's first album. This song showed back up in my library today and it's super catchy. I remember having this on repeat way back when I first heard it. Not my normal dose of super candy gloss, but when in the candy store, you gotta eat.

In 2002 I went on tour with Hey Mercedes. That's a whole story for another time. It was on that tour that Todd introduced me to Wheat, among tons of other amazing bands. Spending time listening to Hope and Adams as I type.

Never really listened to this album before. It's a much more straightforward, less mathy version of their past records. While it doesn't have that familiar, sprawling Mew sound, I'm really enjoying it and glad to finally be digging in.

This popped up in my music discovery app and: a) I have not listened to Balun in a long time b) I've been loving getting reacquainted with this fantastic album and track c) We need a new Balun album

Discovered this album from someone on Instagram. Wish I had saved who that person was and give them credit, but this is some awesome jazz-style hip-hop. Super up my alley. Really digging it so far.

Exploring Kashiwayacho. We should have stopped in one of the amazing restaurants to grab a bite to eat. Said we would the next night but didn’t get a chance to. Was an amazing stroll that ended by the river in the rain.

July was insane between amazing adventures in Japan and a family emergency in Atlanta. As we wind into the last month of summer, I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. Catching up on the adventure of life!

Was absolutely obsessed with this record when it first came out and spending the evening listening to all things Manchester Orchestra.

Robert Frost said, "The best way out is always through." I was reminded of that last week while talking with a friend navigating a difficult season in the game industry with real focus and grace. He keeps showing up for the work and the people around him, and that stayed with me.…

Lucy Dacus is amazing, and you know that. Not only is she an intensely incredible singer but a brilliant storyteller as well. The way she narrates paints a vivid picture, it's all too easy to feel like you can relate some part of yourself to what she's singing. Forever is a Feeli…
