Go! Film Soundtrack
25th Anniversary Retrospective In the 80s and 90s especially, movie soundtracks were a regular part of our music rotation. I danced to the Pulp Fiction soundtrack, drove around listening to Judgement Night, and eased my aching teenage heart with music from the motion picture Romeo & Juliet. Some of the best soundtracks of this era…

Concert Review: Madonna 01/25/24 Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia
This past Thursday, I had the honor of seeing a myriad of Madonna’s grace the stage at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. I caught the Drowned World tour here back in 2001, but truth be told, I was so hungover from a friend’s Madonna party the night before that I really didn’t get to…

Madonna Top 15

Arctic Monkeys + Fontaines D.C.
This past Tuesday, I had the opportunity to spend the hottest night of the summer sweating along with Alex Turner and thousands of his closest fans. For no good reason, the Arctic Monkeys had never really entered my realm until my good friend and co-worker, Amanda, introduced them to me. We are teachers (by day)…

According to Webster’s Dictionary, trip hop is defined as: ‘electronic dance music usually based on a slow hip-hop beat and incorporating hypnotic synthesized and prerecorded sounds.’ Trip hop was as powerful as it was fleeting – a ‘you had to be there’ kind of musical genre. No other album encapsulates the marvel of this era…

Blur // The Ballad of Darren (2023)
I was a freshman in high school when I first heard “There’s No Other Way” on MTVs 120 minutes, and instantly I knew that I just had to get my paws on their album, Leisure. It quickly became a favorite among our friends as it was our first introduction, stateside, to Britpop – though we…

Review: Tiny Forehead
Tiny Forehead is a post-punk band hailing from the town of Boston in the United Kingdom. They are an original five piece who have been compared to Joy Division, The Fall, and Osees. With their manic style and surferish guitar-bass-drum combo, I’d also liken them The Cramps. Their three song EP, Problems with Living, was…

The Passage of Time and All of Its Crimes
Why You Should Record Your Concert History Everyone remembers their first, and most of us remember our last, but how many of us can recall the names of all of those in between? If you are lucky, you’ve managed to save ticket stubs from all of the concerts that you have ever attended. Either way,…
