A Quick Tribute to Little Richard – A Style that Stands the Test of Time

I’ve been bad about posting lately – much to do at work and surprisingly little time afterwards. Somehow these quarantine months have been flying by. Hopefully it’s a sign there is light at the end of the tunnel. Best advice I can give for these troubled times: keep yourself busy. Read. Exercise. Learn something new.Continue reading “A Quick Tribute to Little Richard – A Style that Stands the Test of Time”

BEST OF APRIL: TOP 5 TRACKS OF THE MONTH

5.) Someone Else – Rezz & Grabbitz This collab between Rezz and Grabbitz is a match made in heaven. I admittedly had been disappointed in a few of Rezz’s previous releases, but this track destroyed any doubts I had. Rezz’s industrial influence mixed with Grabbitz’s dark punk guitar licks create a “deadmau5-esque” banger that hasContinue reading “BEST OF APRIL: TOP 5 TRACKS OF THE MONTH”

Kurt’s Favorite Albums

I tried my best to organize this in a proper ranking. The Top 4 are pretty set in stone, but my album rankings change depending on the day. Alas, see for yourself my selections and come find and fight me if you disagree… 1.) Worlds – Porter Robinson (2014) 2.) Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts ClubContinue reading “Kurt’s Favorite Albums”

Kinkead’s Favorite Albums

Kurt and I saw the Bill Clinton records meme and had to make a post about it. Choosing favorites is always a huge challenge for me. When it comes to things I love, I tend to get indecisive about what is really “best” when I’m looking at a group of favorites. The thing about musicContinue reading “Kinkead’s Favorite Albums”

New Music Friday (April 10th): Goose, Gorillaz and Anderson Paak

Hello my people. I’d imagine your week went as strange as mine given our current situation under quarantine. Thank god we still have good jams out there to keep us occupied and feeling good. To be honest, been completely slammed with work to the point where I had to delay this a day, but it’sContinue reading “New Music Friday (April 10th): Goose, Gorillaz and Anderson Paak”

Our Favorite Movie Soundtracks – Making top 10s can be hard

There is really nothing better than when a director’s music selection fits perfectly with the content on the screen. Music has a way of making normal scenes seem surreal, turning characters into rockstars, and turning simple moments into unforgettable ones. That is because music helps us associate emotion and mood with a particular scene –Continue reading “Our Favorite Movie Soundtracks – Making top 10s can be hard”

New Music Friday (April 3rd): Mapache, Real Estate and Allmans

I wasn’t intending to make this on a Friday, but now that it has a title it will be a recurring thing! This will be an opportunity to point out some new albums that have come out in the past few weeks and dive into some things I have been listening to recently. 1.

5.) FORCES EP – Montell 2099 Where my bass trap heads at? Montell2099’s new EP is a treat for you then. Drawing from the music legend RL Grime (who even has feature on the album with the song RUSYNTH), Montell2099 proves he’s a force to be reckoned with by showcasing his talent with some stellarContinue reading “BEST OF MARCH: TOP 5 ALBUMS/EPs OF THE MONTH”

BEST OF MARCH: TOP 5 TRACKS OF THE MONTH

When it comes to my music, I don’t mess around. I contribute a bit of minor OCD to my obsession of keeping my music neat and organized, whether that be by mood, genre, or release date. For over a year now, I have been compiling the best songs from each month into Spotify playlists. IContinue reading “BEST OF MARCH: TOP 5 TRACKS OF THE MONTH”
