Shannon Harris Audio Urbanology: The Art of Audio Truism (Urbanicity Recordings) Release date: August 21
To get a sense of Shannon Harris¹s imaginative new album, you might look no further than its name: Audio Urbanology: The Art of Audio Truism, although, actually, I don¹t think he really means truism (loosely defined as […]
So I’m trying to figure out which album to review. I have a couple choices, so I listen to the first one on the list, “Future Breeds” by Hot Hot Heat. And I like it. The energy of it. I think, yeah, this. But then, a few songs in, I’m gone. I’m at once […]
You know, I could write a treatise on the horrors of the lowest common denominator, on the dreck that passes for music or art or thought, but instead, I think I’ll just offer up “Night Train,” the newest album from Keane (whom I’m tempted to call Keen, because that is what I did throughout my […]

If you’re the type that is all about post 90s syrupy smooth slow jams, Dwele’s new album, Sketches of a Man, is definitely for you.
“Seeing Sounds” is the third album from Pharrell Williams and his rhythmically inclined band mates, otherwise known as N*E*R*D.
The first single “Everyone Nose” is the type of song that will start playing in your headphones and make those around you wonder if your second cup of coffee just kicked in. Whether or […]
