Former frontman for Weightless and Soul Position cohort with RJD2, Blueprint goes solo with 1988—and I’m not quite sure… This starts out with some old-school beats and an onslaught of “one-two one-two keepin’ on” kinda stuff. Sounds like another attempt at a modern day classic, but I can’t tell that it’s intentional, except that he […]
Thank god I took Spanish for 12 years of my life, otherwise I may not have known what “el oso” meant. In case you were wondering, it means the bear, but honestly, that information is irrelevant. Milwaukee’s El Oso in no way resembles any characteristics of said animal, musically speaking. If they were really hairy […]
It’s been five years since the professors of class, etiquette and what it takes to belong to the gentlemen’s club first presented their formula for success with the ladies and living the hi-life: So How’s You’re Girl in 1999. Chest Rockwell (De la Soul and Stetsasonic) and Nathaniel Merriweather’s (Dan “The Automator” Nakamura, Gorillaz) brainchild, […]
It’s time for a dose of Spring fever. Daylight savings time is just around the corner, we experienced 72 degrees on Tuesday (if you don’t count the snow on Wednesday and Thursday), skirt and sandal fashions have overtaken the sweaters and snow apparel, and it’s all perfect timing for a warm and inviting release like […]
No one ever wants to admit it – thanks largely to that godawful Michael Jackson cover and the fact that, on the whole, they were total wankers as people – but Alien Ant Farm had some good songs (go on, admit it – you liked “Movies” a little bit…). So don’t automatically recoil in horror […]
It has been said that Denver is the biggest small town one will ever encounter.

Something that naturally comes to a town of this caliber is a high circulation […]

Gym Class Heroes live on the road; they’ve been touring for ten months solid at this point, through the release of The Papercut EP and now on their full length The Papercut Chronicles. The first time I caught this crew, they topped the bill on tour with Canada’s Boys Night Out, a flat out talented […]
The Rage in Placid Lake (Tony McNamara) Most of us know of Ben Lee from his attack on the music scene some years back with his band Noise Addict. I knew he dated actresses, but little did I know that acting was also in his bag of tricks. Lee is still heavy in the music, […]
Consider a mix or kerosene, Jim Beam, vintage Rolling Stones with a shot of Jack White and you’ve got yourself a Rock-N-Roll Soldiers cocktail that aims to blow your mind. Fighting against the “plethora of local hippie folk rock jam bands who badmouth the Soldiers saying that they are nothing but teenage drunks,” this Eugene, […]
