Missed it by that much (the next best albums of 2013)

January 30, 2014 Trev

As I sat down to wrestle with my top 10 of 2013, I had an easy time putting together this unranked list of the albums which almost made the top 10, but there were other albums which I listened to and enjoyed more. I really dig this albums, and while some of these records are…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – Jan. 24th, 2014

January 24, 2014 Jeff

Don't you hate the winter....and isn't hate a horribly strong word? The past two months I've been completely cooped up in my own place doing nothing musically. I haven't been listening, playing, reading or searching for anything at all. How can someone write on a music blog if they've done nothing but distance themselves from…Read More

As my Holiday Vacation winds down, I thought I'd put together one last 8 Track for 2013. This is a collection of tunes which has caught my ear in recent weeks, and I hope you enjoy as much as I've enjoyed them. Have a wonderful and safe New Year and we'll see you back…Read More

Top 5 Albums of 2013 (which weren’t actually released in 2013)

December 20, 2013 Trev

When compiling a Best Of list for a certain year, you sometimes encounter albums that you loved in a particular year only to discover they were released prior to that year. This is the case with the 5 albums now before you, they were all released in 2012, but that didn't stop me from loving them, squeezing…Read More

Trev’s Best 10 of 2013

December 10, 2013 Trev

I don't what it was about 2013, it seems that a few of the albums which I wanted to put on this list were released in 2012 (Passenger's All the Little Lights, The Heist by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to name a couple), but 2013 had some definitely great music, it wasn't a banner year like in years…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – December 6th, 2013

December 6, 2013 Jeff

So how about that, December has rolled around once again. In my mind it seems as though I've mentioned this a thousand times, but music really makes me feel old. A song comes on the radio, I get all jazzed up for it, it takes me back to last year of high school/first year of…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – November 22, 2013

November 22, 2013 Jeff

With so much going on it's super tough to find time to sit down and actually plow through the wads of new music out there. Thankfully I've got some good buddies who always hook me up. This weeks edition of the FNS is five songs that I'm absolutely loving right now and can't get enough…Read More

Friday Night Soundtrack – Nov. 8th, 2013

November 8, 2013 Jeff

This weeks edition of the FNS is brought to you by the cover song. Covers are and will always be an important aspect in the world of music. From on stage performances to backyard camp fires, when someone breaks out a cover song it is immediately heard, compared and judged. Sometimes covers are done so…Read More

Joyce Island, Joyce Island EP, Indie

November 6, 2013 Trev

With most musicians, the road is generally an experience which is begrudged as they know all too well (especially with the current state of physical media sales) that touring is a necessary evil. Books have been written about the trials and tribulations of life on the road and while some romanticize the experience, others revel…Read More

Mike Trask, Mike Trask and the Precious Memories, Indie

November 6, 2013 Trev

The concept alone of the latest effort from Mike Trask and his collection of friends and cohorts should be reason enough to press play, but if you need some convincing, then alright, here goes… This is the fourth solid full length album to be released by Trask in roughly the past year (Jamboree, Jamboree II, What a…Read More
