As much as I love a good full length album, let’s recap on some dope tracks from recent days. Check your sanity at the door, make way for some grooves. OBVIOUSLY we are going to start with blink-182’s “Quarantine”. Classic. Fuck quarantine. (But also, please keep quarantining and wearing masks). I’m late to the game,
The final notes ring out, as Josh Dominguez’s concluding moments of his latest single, Air It Out, quiets the buzz and clamor of the Peppermint Club crowd. A spell was cast through the track’s confluence of honest candor and lounge jazz, allowing for a moment of silence amongst the audience as Josh delivers the song’s
We were fortunate to have an in-depth interview with LoneMoon about her just-released AOTY contender kit@Nai (pronounced kitanai like dirty in Japanese). Here’s what’s up. This album came largely in part from a bad year for LoneMoon, a year full of people bringing her down, some deceptively shallow relationships, and to paraphrase in my own
Here are the bullet points: Rina Sawayama was born in Japan and then moved to the UK as a child, and has been living there for 25 years.

Larry Levan’s birthday was a few days ago, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to honor the late integral founding member of the dance music community with a brief overview of his accomplishments. Here’s a Larry Levan set from 1979 to set the mood: I will keep this to the point (in

OMG have not one but two brand new albums (their 8th and 9th albums respectively) along with a B-sides EP just released. That’s a whole lot of
I would like to take up Classsy Casssie’s call to arms about The Office being the best show of all time, because it’s not. Because The Simpsons is the best show of all time. The Office is a great show. Kevin dropping the chili, the CPR scene, the sales call scene… all great stuff. But
What better time to binge watch The Office than during a world wide pandemic months before it’s being removed from Netflix? Luckily, Tom Rosenthal agrees with me and wrote this floaty lil’ tune after watching the entire series at the start of the pandemic. Starting off in a political fashion, the song soon tackles the
As far as albums that I can’t understand the lyrics to go this album is a solid 10. You’d think it would just be downhill from the album’s centerpiece single Umami but it just keeps getting better. Think Yelle 2.0 but like… better? This was one of those albums for me where I flagged the
