This year was admittedly packed for albums, as evidenced by the 100 title list of favorites this year (and I could barely whittle it down to that)! This year also brought in…
I can’t remember a year that felt like such a gift for music. While the rest of 2024 can go in the bin, musically we were set. Each week was so packed…
The temptation to wrap up the year seems to have caught quite a few early in 2024, but it’s hard when there’s still so many albums just eking their way out. This…
This got a bit lost over the US holiday but now that eyes and ears are aligned, it’s time to let the fifteen-minute sound bath of Rattle wash over you. The band’s…
