Welcome to your next fix!
Music Morphine is a place for all those songs I wish I could inject straight into my veins. I do album reviews, song reviews, track rankings, and “You Should Listen To”, a segment where I sing the praises of a particular artist.

And they’re both called Sunday Best!
Album Review: “Obviously” by Lake Street Dive (with Track Rankings…Obviously)
