NW Reviews: Podcast! #2

Listen to the 'cast to understand the pic. In this: Me complaining, Owen Pallett, The American Dollar, some Flirtphonic. Also, I threw a shout out to my homie Gigi. No need to review Michelina's Rigatoni & Sauce with Broccoli and White Chicken, I got you covered. Some errors: I say I'm "restarting" Flirtphonic's song at the...

NW Reviews: Owen Pallett – Heartland

This month hasn't been packed with game-changing music, to say the least. Much of it has been predictable, rehashing of other music, or just not inventive enough. There aren't many people who can step into a genre, saturated with good talent, and really change minds. Owen Pallett is definitely putting a foot forward and...

NW Reviews: American Dollar – Atlas

Post-rock isn't necessarily my business, to say the least. American Dollar is nothing short of post-rock. And like their mid-nineties brethren, they aren't really striking any new chords that we haven't heard. But, unlike the shortcomings of certain pop-punk revivalists, American Dollar and their newest album Atlas is in the right place at the...

NW Reviews: Matthew Price – Stranded

I'm a big sucker for the singer-songwriter, trying to write those home-hitting songs that are big on meaning and not-so-high on the meaningless. Take Matthew Price for example.
