Old Gray – An Autobiography (2013)

Context - wishing I was still asleep Today's edition of "how well does recommended viewing/listening suggestions work?" is the sophomore effort of Las Vegas post-hardcore (screamo, kids.  It's called screamo.), Allomaternal.  And boy howdy was this a doozy of a recommendation....

Context - Losing my goddamn mind Today at work I got two separate budget requests that are both due next Friday, which means I have more work to do now than I ever have before.  At least at my current... Continue Reading →

Beach House – Teen Dream (2010)

Context - back to work And boy, howdy, am I excited to be back.  By excited, I of course mean to say that I am exhausted, and plan on taking a proper break next year.  I've spent the last two... Continue Reading →

Led Zeppelin – Houses of the Holy (1973)

Context - lazy Monday videogames Led Zeppelin is the background music of my life, which is to say I wildly underappreciated their capacity for rock until about 3 years ago or so.  Being primarily a Led Zeppelin I-IV listener myself, I... Continue Reading →
