CD Review: Black Mountain — Wilderness Heart; Playing The EARL, November 12
Black Mountain Wilderness Heart Jagjaguwar By Al Kaufman Seventies’ rock will never die. At least not as long as folks like Stephen McBean are around.

King sample was better than […]

CD Review: Pigeon John — Dragon Slayer; Playing The Loft with DJ Shadow, November 9
Pigeon John Dragon Slayer Quannum Projects By Giles Turnbull With a title like Dragon Slayer, you may be expecting one of two extremes. If your point of reference is stories of knights in shining armor, that would be swashbuckling songs of a hero vanquishing fire-breathing mythical monsters; if you turn to the Urban Dictionary, you’re […]
