In the slums of St Paul I found Paradise. Okay that's an exaggeration on both ends. But The Turf Club is a nice old bar located in a rather sh*tty part of the the Twin Cities that feels pretty comfortable inside and pretty dangerous just a block in either direction. It's truly a rough local.... at least by MN standards. I mean, yeah, it seems like the hood. [ 319 more words. ]

I just heard about Katie Toupin leaving Houndmouth and I gotta say, I'm pretty bummed. I mean, I'm not devastated. I just started listening to them a couple months ago and its not like she's dead. But her presence in this band, especially her soulful voice will be missed. Apparently she's going to go make her own music, and while I get the desire to do so...couldn't she just do a side project?

I've given this album a little time before writing about it to see if I had any changing thoughts but no I'm pretty much settled on it: this album is weird. Not in the sense that the songs are weird, just that I'm not sure what this album is trying to be or even if it's completed at all. With all the hype & mainstream crossover and the general openness of Sturgill Simpson to not limit himself to the constrains of his genre, I figured this would be some sort of americana/hipster rock album that his country fans might downright hate.

Chuck Ragan recently created a soundtrack for a video game. Yeah,I thought it was weird too. I've been thinking about video games a lot lately. I was reading an article about the official end of Xbox 360 (the current console I have) and I'm wondering if this is the end for me. I've never been a gamer. Even when I still play it's mostly football or baseball games that I've been too cheap cheap to spring for the new version of and then spent so much time updating the rosters manually that I need to play them exclusively to justify the time that I spent modifying them.

It's been cold, rainy and windy here for a few days. Really gloomy stuff. And not just because Prince left us. Well, maybe. His legend is still growing post mortem to the point where I may have heard about his ability to change the weather with his confident, post-guitar-solo, self satisfied grins. Regardless of the origins of this weather (probably it just being April?) the wind alone is enough to keep you inside and hope that a tree doesn't come crashing down on your house.

Prince is gone. Just the other day I was laughing about that candid photo taken of him on a bicycle. And the week before about his basketball playing on Chappelle's Show. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was really him. Especially since moving to Minnesota I feel like Prince comes up in my life pretty frequently. Which is weird since I can't remember the last time that I actually listened to his music. [ 426 more words. ]

For a band that I like Weezer has made a lot of truly awful songs. I mean for awhile there in the 2000s nearly every album that they released were entirely trash. I must have been a ma*****st to have dug through dozens of sh*tty synth indulgences and top 40 gimmick tracks to find 1 or 2 songs that I liked. [ 393 more words. ]

Outlaw Country Musician Sturgill Simpson is getting a ton of buzz lately in anticipation of his upcoming new album, A Sailor's Guide to Earth. Even as someone not particularly connected with the country music scene it's been hard to miss the fact that Sturgill is suddenly an "it" artist when he's being discussed everywhere from Esquire to The New York Times… [ 394 more words. ]
