I’ve been able to count on Abigail Osborn to drop an EP once a year for the past few years, but she unexpectedly dropped a second one this year, How Come Everything Comes Back To You? It seems to be a sequel to her EP from January, How Do You Know When It Feels Right?…
Welcome to Throwback Tuesday with a Today Twist! Back in the day, when radio was still a major thing, DJs used to take song requests and long-distance dedications from listeners who were loving, missing or secretly crushing on someone special in their lives. The last holdout, that I’m aware of, is Delilah and her Love Songs At…
Katy Perry is back with a new album, 143, and it’s Katy Perry doing what Katy Perry does, pop music. Katy’s last few albums have felt formulaic, and 143 is the same. Each song is less than three and a half minutes to be radio friendly, guest vocalists (21 Savage, Kim Petras, Doechii, and JID)…
This is definitely my year of discovering many diva I like for their acting, also sing. First it was Nico Tortorella, then Kate Hudson and now Paris Hilton. Paris first got my attention, probably around the same time as everybody else, in 2003 when her sex tape was leaked and she starred in “The Simple…
Are you looking for some new music to walk your downward dog to? Do you need an in-store playlist for your crystal and oolong tea shop? Are you locked in the bathroom, soaking in a tub surrounded by candles and want tunes to tune out your screaming kids? Have I got the album for you!…
Ingrid Michaelson took a five-year hiatus between albums to work on the music and lyrics for the Broadway musical “The Notebook”. I’m totally into checking it out just because of her involvement, even though I didn’t think much of the movie it’s inspired by. It seems to have also inspired Ingrid to be in a…
When Tori Amos drops albums, they tend to be very conceptual and have ties to previous albums. However, when she drops an EP or B-sides, Tori really shines with songs that tend to have more humor and spontaneity. That is definitely the case with her new EP, White Telephone To God. “White Telephone To God”…
A few days before I was scheduled to leave on vacation for Quebec City, I found out Debbie Harry and Chris Stein of Blondie fame were doing a book signing at Bookmarc (400 Bleecker St) in New York City. It wasn’t the most convenient but there was no way in hell I was missing an…
I first discovered Jenn Champion’s music thanks to her campaign on Kickstarter for her album The Last Night Of Sadness that dropped last year. I really like Jenn’s solo stuff but she also did an EP back in 2020 called Recents, with her wife Arwen Nicks, that’s just as good as Jenn’s solo work. Jenn…
Bonjour! Bienvenue a Quebec! This week my partner and I decided to road trip it to Quebec City because it’s roughly a seven-hour drive north of us, it wouldn’t be any hotter than Connecticut and it would feel like a whole new country…well it is, but Canada doesn’t really count. All I knew about Quebec…
