Review: Los Campesinos! at Sound Fix Records
Sorry about the crappy photo. I’m still getting used to this whole blogging thing. In the future, I promise to bring my real camera to shows instead of using my phone, but I figured this little picture was better than nothing at all. Last night Los Campesinos! only played five songs at Sound Fix and [...]
Recommended Show for Friday: School of Seven Bells at Le Poisson Rouge
If you’re looking for a show to see tomorrow, I would highly recommend School of Seven Bells at Le Poisson Rouge. This band is ethereal and dreamy, unconventional and pop all at once.

Music Criticism and Welcome to the Blog!
By starting this blog I am setting myself up for certain failure. The thing about music criticism is this: it can never actually be right. No matter how perfectly someone attempts to describe an album or a song, no matter how they personally feel about an album, no matter how they choose to culturally position [...]
