One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever. And thanks to Kanye West, Aphex Twin is making some serious dough off this song. AFX fans pissed @ Kanye need to get a grip. Kanye might be a douche, but his music is amazing and he put this song to good use. And with that, I [...]

If the sex workers rights movement ever discovers this song they should use it as their anthem. One of the saddest sounding songs of the 90s and one of my favorites. More proof that Mary Timony is a goddess weaving a strange witchcraft through her music and voice.
Why am I only discovering this wonderful band now?
The other bad thing about the alt rock explosion? There were some good (few, but still) glam metal bands that got thrown out with the bad ones. For every awful band like Slaughter, Trixter and Warrant [edited to add, RIP, Jani Lane] there were really great bands like Tesla, Faster Pussycat and L.A. Guns. And [...]
The worst part (well, only bad thing) about the alt rock explosion of 1992 was ALL hair metal bands got the boot. Including those who weren’t hair metal at all. I’m not familiar with Enuff’z’Nuff’s discography, but I know this song is a fantastic power pop song. Perhaps the moral of the story is “never [...]
It’s odd that two of my all-time favorite Big Black songs (the other being Bad Houses) are their most restrained. I got into this band for the guitar noise (and misogynistic lyrics, I love misogyny!) yet these “softer” songs keep drawing me back in the most. Both songs have an oppressively bleak and creepy atmosphere [...]
I loves me some Katy Perry. I love how 80s this is. And she looks adorable in the braces and huge glasses on the single cover. I’d ménage à trois with her and Hayley Williams anyday. Ahem. On with the song…
Either they’re high, or they really love playing their music. I hope it’s the latter.
I know it’s about AIDS, but I listen to this song when I feel melancholy about unrequited loves of the past. It’s odd, I can’t usually get to into love songs written by straight artists, but the autumnal sadness of Pet Shop Boys often nails what I’m feeling lovewise. Proof that great art is not [...]
This is The Orb’s finest moment, and one of my favorite ambient tracks. Usually I hate having beats with my ambient, but this is an exception. The Orb is a really amazing group and this is their finest moment. A 20 minute track that takes as long to say as it does to listen to [...]
