Amanaz brightens up the day.

Its been a good day. The sun is shining, its warm-ish outside and my Amanaz record came in the mail. I got a tip a while back from gorillavsbear on the reissuing of Amanaz’s 1973 LP Africa. I knew I had to get on that when I heard Khala my..

Bonde Do Role made Buffalo go crazy.

So it’s Tuesday and I’m still recovering from having a ridiculous amount of fun at the Bonde Do Role show in Buffalo. You can’t categorize their music as any single genre because its made up of an orgy of sounds ranging from hip hop to pop. There was crazy dancing/singing/yelling/screaming/random humping. I took..

Land Of Rawk

Haunting, inviting, indifferent, and unafraid, Elizabeth Powell and the Land Of Talk invade your headphones with their debut EP Applause Cheer Boo Hiss and leave you with melodies you won’t be able to shake off for days. The album is hardly a debut effort – Lizzie is no stranger to..
