I had two introductions to Coheed and Cambria’s music— 3 years apart from each other. My first introduction was in 2009. Partly by chance, “The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth,” made its presence known to me. I was pretty much head over heels, though I didn’t do anything about it. There have
Jess Weimer is BACK in a big way with her new banger pop single ‘New Truth’ under her new alias Jessica Mar. You can hear the Kansas BBQ sauce in Jess’s hearty vocals here as she drives through some stellar production on this autobiographical telling of the journey leading up to her rebrand. In typical
Ahhh, hear that noise? Is it the beach? The ocean? Nah, it’s Iration’s new album Coastin’ here to chill you out since beaches are currently off limits. Depicting the classic chill, alt reggae vibes you expect from Iration, the album features friends Stick Figure, Common Kings, and Rebelution’s Eric Rachmany. Grab an iced beverage, throw

It’s always kind of bothered me that George Duke gets left out of the conversation regarding the 20th century piano and/or keyboard giants. Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarret, and Chick Corea might have had better chops (and they all played with Miles Davis) but I’ll take a George Duke album over something by them, almost every
Hey what’s up you classy cats, been a minute since I’ve seen you. There’s a lot going on in the world right now, and I’ll be honest with you – I let it get the best of me for a couple weeks there. But what better to revive you from a sunken funk and what
Uh oh… guess who’s in Los Angeles. IT’S ME BAAAABY. And while I’m in L.A., I have decided to write a blog post that is so aggressively Chicago it would bring a tear to the eye of any south-side volunteer fireman. So, kick back, grease your mustache, grab a Portillo’s Italian Beef and an ice-cold
