MP3: Jason Anderson - Tonight#19 - Jason Anderson - TonightECA Records 2007Joey On Tonight:Jason Anderson is New England to me and seeing how much I moved around this decade, it was important for me to have a piece of home in some capacity, even if I was running from it. So there's that. Then there is the fact that Jason is so fun and positive and this record "Tonight" has the gang vocals which...

MP3: Phoenix - Sometimes In The Fall#19 - Phoenix - It's Never Been Like ThatAstralwerks - 2006Like the Andrew W.K. for the French, Phoenix gets people wet with suaveness and charm rather than sheer intensity. A party album for the modern sophisticate.

MP3: Boris - Farewell#2o - Boris - PinkSouthern Lord (US) 2005Matt On Pink:This is Boris's album. Largely unknown to a majority of the world, Pink is what finally got everyone into the sludgy metal that the Japanese had long since known. Brutal and loud, tidal wave of noise.

MP3: Converge - Reap What You SowUhhh I told Matt I wasn't going to introduce him or do guest posts anymore since he really does this with me 100%. A partner if you will. But I haven't set up a system to make you know I didn't post this yet, so Matt did. Fuck yeah!So basically Joey and I were talking about whether or not we should do posts in between the decade feature, and it was decided that ...

That's what happens when you don't wait another year to do these things: Oh well. I really like Girls' "Album" and over time, it could even be higher on this list. I think all of the songs are great and it's wa...

I do really, really like this one: the Carrion EP is half new songs and half demos from Jana Hunter's previous record "There's No Home": that math leads to something that is allllllll good. The new songs mesh so well with t...

In years time, I hope this album is looked at in the manner it deserves.

New High Places: "I Was Born"
9 days ago

(via P4K)I'm on record saying this, but once again: I really did not enjoy High Places when I first heard them. My girlfriend was the one who brought them to my attention and she was beyond on board, but it took quite awhile for it to click on my end. Their self titled full length was what did it for me, and they've been succeeding ever since (like their split with Soft Circle out now on PPM, h...
