When I find an album that hits me in the little teenage spot that still lives in my booze damaged and cholesterol addled heart, I get pretty fucking excited. And that's what we've got going on with the new record by The Ellie Badge, Horse Stories + Personal Fables. The shining blend of early 2000's … Continue reading The Ellie Badge – Horse Stories + Personal Fables
An interview with Brett Boland of Astronoid
Picture by Mike Devivo (instagram) at Reggie's Chicago I was introduced to Astronoid a few months after my significant other saw them open for Zeal and Ardor, a show I was unfortunately out of town for.

We need happy music, sure, we need music to uplift us and to make us smile, but we also need music to fucking wild out to. Deli Girls, from … Continue reading Deli Girls-I Don’t Know How to Be Happy
Flasher-Constant Image
So, yeah. This album is almost exactly a year old, so this is not a new music review, more like a "new music to me" review. I guess I first heard this album a year ago, but for whatever reason I dismissed it immediately as not for me and promptly forgot about it. Boy, was … Continue reading Flasher-Constant Image
