Generally speaking, I can determine whether or not I like the sound of a song after the intro. I determined that I enjoyed The Rat long before the vocals even began. Why? To be honest, aside from the drums, I can’t fully put my finger on it. However, once Leithauser chimed in with the vocals, […]

Every time a Monday rolls around, it takes every ounce of my being to refrain from posting Monday, Monday by The Mamas and The Papas. Nothing at all against the song. I love the song. I just think I might be the only person on Earth who would find it funny or ironic. Glad I […]

Dave Matthews Band, I’m over you
There are a few things in life I will never understand. Why buttered toast always lands butter side down, the Kardashians, Donald Trump’s hair and why Dave Matthews band is so popular. That last one is truly a head scratcher for me. Despite the fact that all of his songs sound the same, each with […]

I spent a majority of yesterday’s work day listening to Band of Skulls after seeing their name on the 2012 Lollapalooza lineup. Out of that big, long list, why was I attracted to a group with such a morbid name? Because it sounded familiar. Do I know why? No, not a clue. Generally, I try […]

You’ve all heard the story. A music hungry individual moves to L.A. to satiate his dreams of becoming a successful artist. Between struggles to hold a day job, find the perfect sound and book enough gigs to make a name for himself, he becomes mentally and physically exhausted. And that’s the end of it. However, […]

There are very few TV shows I get into. That’s not to say I can’t enjoy a rainy day on the couch flipping through the channels but, in terms of fully committing my precious time to a cast of characters, I’m a little stingy. Because of this stingy-ness, when I do find a show I […]

There’s something to be said about an artist who has complete vocal control. That something is a big, bold lettered note saying “Congratulations, you truly have musical talent!” When a pianists slips on a note, it’s generally quite obvious. To those of us who aren’t tone deaf, it’s pretty obvious when a vocalist misses a […]

Chicago is currently experiencing a bit of a phenomenon. I’ll call it summer in March. In this lovely midwestern city, we rarely experience spring weather in March, let alone 70+ degree temperatures. It’s weird. Don’t misconstrue that as a complaint. If I could dropkick winter in the face and send it packing, I’d do so […]

WAIT! Before you go and I lose all of my music cred, I want to clear a few things up. Yes, you should still give me the time of day and no, I haven’t lost my mind. Let’s start with some sure to be frequently asked questions. Do you find this song choice and post […]

Today’s song of the day doesn’t need a long, drawn out explanation. I grew up in a tight knit neighborhood. Groups of us would get together for late night games of kick the can while our parents, who are still friends, would chat for hours. We’d spend countless hours at Orchardbrook pool playing lemonade and […]
