I’m Changing My Name to The Smiths
I have an announcement to make: I am changing my name to The Smiths.
This is a story of two bands I love: Belle And Sebastian and The Smiths. And it’s origins trace back to 1988. I’ll tell you how in a moment. But first…

5 Vampire Themed Songs NOT by Olivia Rodrigo
I’ve long shunned the most popular music of the day. What can I say, I’m a fan of the underdog. Olivia Rodrigo just released her sophomore album and I’ve been seeing a lot of talk about her song “Vampire.” It’s catchy — I get why people like it. Alas, it’s not for me.

Elephant 6 Recording Co: 7 Key Bands from the Collective
The Elephant 6 Documentary is out now, and I can’t wait to see it! I didn’t really discover the label until the early 2000s, when it was in its period of inactivity after the original heyday. For those who aren’t fans of indie rock, it’s hard to convey the importance of this label and the impact and influence it — and the artists within its collective — has had on independent music of the late 90s through today. And with the new documentary that influence is as strong as ever.

Lush – Split (2023 Reissue Clear Vinyl Unboxing)
90s era shoegazer band Lush reissued their three full albums in 2023. And in today’s video, I’m going to unbox my copy of their second studio album, Split, which was originally released in 1994. My copy is on clear wax, and the reissue comes just shy of the album’s 30th anniversary.

Altın Gün: Aşk (Album Review)
Admission: I’m new to the Turkish psychedelic revivalists Altın Gün, who released their fifth album this year in as many years. The album is called Aşk and it actually dropped back at the tail end of March 2023 on ATO Records here in the US. Today, I want to take a look inside the Indie Exclusive pressing of the band’s new album. Then I’ll dig into the music itself and share why agree with other reviewers online: Altın Gün is quite possibly the world’s best kept secret, at least here in the United States.

Top 10 Albums Turning 10 in 2023
A few months back, I shared my top 20 albums turning 20 years old in 2023. I loved compiling that list, and figured it would be great to put one together for the albums turning 10 this year as well. In this post, I’m scouring my collection for albums released 10 years ago, and I’m pulling out the top 10 albums turning 10 in 2023 — or, in other words, the top 10 albums of 2013.

Vinyl Haul: Road Trip to Fort Worth
Last weekend, I took a little trip out to Fort Worth, TX. It was great, and I had such a good time visiting the Modern Art Museum, dining on some amazing food at Toro Toro and Hot Box Biscuits, and visiting one of my favorite DFW record stores! That store is called Doc’s Records & Vintage, and I got a good old crate dig in.

Top 10 Bands I Listen to Most on Vinyl
In a recent post, I shared the top 10 albums that I listen to most in my vinyl collection. This is something I track on Discogs — the total number of spins of every single record in my collection. Granted, that tracking system only goes back to about 2019 or so. Still, it got me thinking: what BANDS get played most?
