Today I’m counting down my top 5 Spotify Bands of the Year per Spotify Wrapped 2022. Each year, Spotify does a “Wrapped” series which looks back at your year in stats. Now, if you didn’t already know, I track my vinyl plays in Discogs. I’m a total stats nerd! Furthermore, as someone who’s career is…
I’ve covered Julia Jacklin a few times on my YouTube Channel now, taking a look at both her 2019 LP Crushing and this year’s Pre Pleasure, so I’m no stranger to the Australian artist. Today, I’m going to hone in on one of my favorites from her; it’s her 7-inch offering from Sub Pop Singles…
Time flies, and the older you get, the more that simple statement rings true. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 26 years since Belle And Sebastian released their album If You’re Feeling Sinister, which they dropped way back on November 18, 1996! As I’ve been unboxing my record collection on YouTube and occasionally writing…
764-HERO was a band out of Seattle between 1995 and 2002. In this mini feature, I’ll be sharing a history of the band and taking a look at the three 7-inch singles released during their career, High School Poetry, Now You’re Swimming, and Garrison.
Ty Segall is one of the more prolific artists today, releasing, on average, about one new studio album a year for probably better than a decade now. About four months ago he gave us his offering for 2022, a stripped-down, much more acoustic album dubbed Hello, Hi.
To understand Build To Spill’s impact on me and why I am so excited about their 2022 LP, When the Wind Forgets Your Name, we have to take a trip back in time about 25 years. When you look back on your life, there are likely bands and albums that had a huge impact on…
As of right now, there are 4 singles in the Bill Fay 7-inch singles series from Dead Oceans–Steve Gunn, Julia Jacklin, Mary Lattimore, and this one by Kevin Morby. On them, each artist covers a song by Bill Fay on the A side with a Fay’s original recording on the B. These four singles were…
Alright, so I’ve been searching for an adequate tabletop record display on which to set the record I’m currently playing. I’ve considered all sorts of “Now Playing” displays, but ultimately, nothing ever seemed to speak to me. On a whim, I picked up the Optage Audio Tabletop Record Display the other day. So today, we’re…
I’d consider Walls Have Ears, a semi-official Sonic Youth live album compiled from three 1985 UK live performances, one of my crate diggers gold finds. One who has, admittedly, been relatively cheap when it comes to individual records, this one still set me back three crisp Andrew Jacksons. But, as you’ll soon discover, it’s scarcity…
Mirah’s debut LP, You Think It’s Like This But It’s Really Like This was originally released in the year 2000 by K records. Since then, Mirah has put together quite the catalog of releases including some where she’s joined by other artists like Thao Nguyen. In this post we’ll be taking a deeper look at…
