Playing On Repeat: The Black Keys Get Deep on Turn Blue
“Every now and then I see your face from way back when and I explode, Friends no longer egg me on, they bullshit serenade me like it’s gold, how then we’re told. I’m praying for some laughter, maybe joy forever after ’til I die, I’m hungry for a change, I got my fill of other’s […]
Step To This: High Ball Stepper
Well, thank you sir. Thank you for not disappointing. Thank you for changing things up, but still retaining that you-ness that is so… you.

Playing On Repeat: Heavy English Will Restore Your Faith

Playing On Repeat: Black Lips
“My eyes start to bleeding, from the southern smoke. And ain’t nobody leaving, cause the shards will split your throat…” -Black Lips, Boys In The Wood This one’s a slow burner.

Playing On Repeat: Broken Bells

What a lovely day to be lonely….” -Broken Bells, Holding On For Life Something old, something new…. that’s what […]
Playing On Repeat: Sleigh Bells
“Are you telling lies with you pretty eyes, You’re in trouble yeah, you don’t get me twice” -Sleigh Bells, You Don’t Get Me Twice I love a good kiss-off song. And this one may be responsible for damaging my eardrums this past week…. A danceable beat, fuzzy guitar reminiscent of Lenny Kravitz’s version of “American […]
Playing On Repeat: MS MR

Playing On Repeat: Heavy English
“Cause there’s this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow. And I play it on repeat. ‘Til I fall asleep. Spilling drinks on my settee.” -Arctic Monkeys, Do I Wanna Know? There’s nothing more exciting to me than discovering new music. Sometimes the music I “discover” isn’t even new, but it’s new […]
