Review: Menomena - Friend & Foe
-
Artist:
Menomena’s third full-length Friend and Foe is mindblowing, from it’s decoder-ring wheel packaging, to the music that it contains. I thought their debut I am the fun blame monster was an amazing packaging concept (It was a flip-book for chrissakes!) and album, but the three Portland-based multi-instrumentalists have really outdone themselves with this release. Friend and Foe, stylistically is

Review: The Gothic Archies
The Gothic Archies’ "Songs From A Series Of Unfortunate Events" is the best concept album in the history of concept albums. Actually, the album is probably the best concept in the history of concepts. With lyrical gems such as “shipwrecked with you/shipwrecked with you/I can’t think of a single thing I’d rather do/that’s why I decapitated the crew,†how could it not be? Topics as far f

Artist:

letter to my departed keyboard
Dear Keystation Pro 88,i just sold you to a man named Bart who's in a U2 tribute band. I hope you have fun with him and he uses you often.
