Songs I Can’t Stop Playing #3
Jazz fusion, Arab Trap, Egyptian deities, two gacha game soundtracks?? Quite the smorgasbord.

Songs I Can’t Stop Playing #2
We are gettin’ grungy this week!
Songs I Can’t Stop Playing -#1
Introducing a new segment! I hated my previous idea of just sharing a post about specific songs because it felt like a never-ending task for very little payoff. Besides, how much can you talk about one song on a written format? It was too much work for too little reward. But a list of myContinue reading “Songs I Can’t Stop Playing -#1”
PLECTRUMELECTRUM by Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL
Discussing the GOAT and it’s not the album I expected to be discussing on my first Prince post

Album Review: “You Hear Georgia” Blackberry Smoke
I ain’t ever gonna change my ways–I will always be a Blackberry Smoke fan now.
Album Review: “Obviously” by Lake Street Dive (with Track Rankings…Obviously)
I mentioned this band in my 2020 anthems post about the songs that summed up my 2020. I had already discovered their song “Making Do” late in the year and thought it would be a contender for 2021 anthems. Since then, I heard Lake Street Dive’s latest single “Hypothetical” and fell in love with theContinue reading “Album Review: “Obviously” by Lake Street Dive (with Track Rankings…Obviously)”

12 Songs You Should Hear
First Impressions: “Medicine At Midnight” Foo Fighters
The Foo Fighters made another good rock album. Yawn.
Song Review: “Anyone” Justin Bieber
2020 should have been Justin Bieber’s year. He released so much music, whether it was his own singles, an entire album, or a feature. But he’s not Drake. He can’t just obtain good-faith clout by slapping his name on something mediocre. While he had success commercially on singles with Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, and ChanceContinue reading “Song Review: “Anyone” Justin Bieber”
Song Review: “Better Days” by Ant Clemons and Justin Timberlake
Better Days are coming, indeed. But what about better songs? Hah, gottem.
Track Rankings: “After Hours” by The Weeknd
There are only 2 “great” songs on this album. What does that tell you? It tells you I’m clickbaiting you. Okay, stop reading this excerpt and just click on the link.
“Pretty Boy” – The Neighbourhood
Pretty Boy is…pretty good.
“My Favourite Game” – The Cardigans
Despite being a 90s kid and a fan of music from that era, The Cardigans somehow flew completely under my radar. Besides that one hit that I thought was a No Doubt song until I was well into my 20s, I couldn’t have told you who they were. That’s probably because they were Swedish andContinue reading ““My Favourite Game” – The Cardigans”
First Impressions: Plastic Hearts by Miley Cyrus
Is “Midnight Sky” the road I’m taking, after listening to this album? I don’t know what that nonsense lyric means, but I have the answer about the album
“Mother, Mother” Tracy Bonham
I’m freezing, I’m starving
I’m bleeding to death, everything’s fine
“Can’t Stop the Bleeding” – Tom Morello, Gary Clark Jr, Gramatik
Ahhh it’s stuck in my head!
My Two Anthems of 2020
