I have to start this review by saying that this album came out of nowhere; I had heard of Macklemore back when he was a XXL Freshman , but other than that, my exposure was pretty limited. With the aforementioned being said, this is the perfect album for an introduction into the world of Macklemore. Let's face it, we've all heard the story about overcoming addiction and life obstacles to become a champion; however, no one has done it quite like this. Backed by the prodigal production of Ryan Lewis , Macklemore has created [...]

It was starting to feel like Band of Horses may never actually make it back to Phoenix. Last year, they were scheduled to open for Kings of Leon at Ashley Home Store Pavilion, but that got axed. Then this year, they were scheduled to play downtown Tempe as part of the second installment of the Railroad Revival Tour with Willie Nelson, Jamey Johnson, and actor/musician John C. Reilly, but that fell apart a few weeks prior to the October 26th date. Luckily, Band of Horses wasted no time and promptly booked gigs in the cancelled tour [...]

Another exhausting Rocktober has finally come to an end. Of course, who better to close it out than R Kelly? Thursday, October 25th An Evening With Public Image, LTD at The Regency Ballroom Sure, it's not The Sex Pistols. However, Johnny Rotten's post-Pistols New Wave project may not have the historical gravitas of his first [...]

Frank Yang Every good thing you've heard about Cat Power live is true, and also a lie; the same goes for every bad thing. The reputation that Chan Marshall gained as a fragile, erratic performer over the first decade or so of her career may have seemed overstated to mythic proportions, but few have made great efforts to dispute it. I can't speak from experience - though a modest fan since Moon Pix , I'd avoided seeing her in concert because of that reputation and reports from the Toronto shows I'd [...]
You can't even feel it! Columbia, 2012 3.1 / 10.0 The real tragedy of Band of Horses might be that Everything All the Time wasn’t anywhere close to being a masterpiece. The band’s debut album had kinks in its foundation that could be readily identified, and though Everything All the [...]

Before seeing Band of Horses last night, a friend and I jokingly predicted that it would be a “Dad concert”. Yes, then we spammed our Twitter with the hashtag because we thought we were OH so clever. But upon entering the Fillmore, we found out we were really onto something. Dads everywhere! Not to say [...]

El Record Store Day ha sido uno de los eventos musicales más comentados y promocionados del año, al menos a nivel de lanzamientos, donde todos los coleccionistas de grupos más o menos conocidos pudieron hacerse con ediciones limitadas, lanzamientos con sangre de sus artistas favoritos y demás rarezas. Todo un éxito comercial, sin duda. Lo que seguramente sorprenda a más de uno no sea la existencia de dicho evento, sino el hecho de que 2012 vaya a tener otro día adicional. Efectivamente, el Record Store Day no es [...]

Frank Yang A little into Beach House's show at the Kool Haus on Saturday night, Victoria Legrand mentioned that this was their twelfth time playing Toronto. And while I was glad she'd saved me the trouble of trying to assemble their 416 gigography, I was surprised that they'd been through so many times in the past six years, since I'm pretty sure the first was in November 2006 when they played to a dozen or so people in the front room of the Tranzac. I hadn't personally caught any of the subsequent ten shows, [...]
