Badflower - This Is How The World Ends

Noooooooooo! I was done. I had it all finished. Then i didn't like it so i added the third Helmet album so it would end with the end of an era. All i had to do was edit it, and upload it, and pay the people, and tell you about it, but no, of course not. Way off down a hallway some little voice said i should really do the whole audio book, like seriously 47 hours of me actually reading these things, and then another voice was like "you should totally ask your friends to voice the characters," and everyone else golf clapped, and i was like "noooooooo!," but totally yes I am definitely going to start doing that right after i feed the dogs, and then somebody was humming Badflower's Don't Hate Me, and i said "what could it hurt?," and it hurts a lot because This Is How The World Ends is fantastic, so of course i have to review it, but i'm stuck in this Faulknerian epic of a run-on sentence, and damnit i'm exhausted, but it's Imbolc and we did have buttered potatoes as the bowl that holds dinner, and i tripped over a groundhog so there's 9,000 more months of work, but at least the teacher didn't take my socks away. 

Stupid brain, making me do stuff. I give up, enjoy some delightfully downtrodden emoish hard rock. Coke and Ketamine, we have a serious drugs in music contender. It's funny, it's melodramatic, it's realistic, it's like if AWOL Nation hadn't plane crashed into we've lost our sense of humor ville. And yes the sarcasm is strong with this one. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how intellectually stimulating this album is. Highly recommended, and i will probably be seeing if their music is monetarily accessible in the very near future. Hopefully i don't forget. Enjoy.

The 4 Seasons - The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette

Image
This might be my longest  album review ever. But i swear a couple times, so it's worth the read ;) How could i possibly mention Jefferson Airplane, The 4 Seasons, and Frank Zappa in the same context? Zappa said "this is rediculous" and a few years later The 4 Seasons said "you know what, Frank is right. This IS ridiculous." To which Jefferson Airplane said, "Oh. Ok. Got it." The real question is: which one is the most transgressive? Zappa said stop fighting, you look like idiots. Jefferson Airplane said i guess if love and community is a bad thing, then sure we're criminals and we'd be happy to move out into the fields and live peaceful lives without your garbage, let us go already. The 4 Seasons said hold my champagne for a moment. In 1969, The 4 Seasons released the single most ironic, acidic, extravagant, and downright befuddling album ever created, The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. Zappa was accused of writing "shitty doo-w

Welcome to my blog, and my record collection.

This is a blog about my love of listening to albums. It started off as a nightly perusal of my dad's record collection (which sadly became mine) on my personal facebook page. Over the last two months it has become quite an enjoyable process of simply ranting about what i think is a real art form, the album. It needs a more permanent home. Some of my reviews are positive, some negative. They might not be what you expect from album reviews, but i hope you at least find them entertaining. For the most part i do very little research, and they tend to be train of thought reactions rather than calculated essays. If nothing else, know that i'm really listening to them and whether they are amazing or abysmal i want you to go listen to them too.  I'll start migrating the 60+ i've written so far over here in the next few days, and hopefully get to the point where i just start writing them here. I'd probably even take suggestions if you're just dying to know my tho

Pat Benatar - Seven The Hard Way

Image
I don't know about you, but i love Pat Benatar. Yes, that's also her debut album with the single most underrated song in the universe (My Clone Sleeps Alone) in the background, but that's just a generic non-self-titled debut album. We're jumping ahead to her 6th album, Seven The Hard Way, because that, ladies and gentle germs, is how you kalaidescope a concept. Not one, not two, not three, but 4 protien-packed layers to this metaphor. You don't really need to know the overly complicated rules of Craps to know that A) it's gambling, B) "the hard way" refers to rolling doubles, so good luck rolling two 3.5s, and C) you're going to lose, one way or another. It's a joke, but more importantly, it's Pat Benatar and the roll out is Sex As A Weapon, so the innuendo is not intended to be subtle. Wait wait wait, that's only 3, Bottle, where's 4? You're right, last but not least, side B opens with Seven Rooms of Gloom, a Holland-Dozier-Hol
