Originally hailing from NJ, I've been a Bigwig fan for a VERY long time, yet I realized that I haven't posted one of my favorite albums by them. In the interest of not failing my home state (and by consequence, not having defender of NJ Danny Devito come by and kick me in the balls), let me just state that Bigwig's Invitation To Tragedy is an essential.Released over 10 years ago back in
Originally hailing from NJ, I've been a Bigwig fan for a VERY long time, yet I realized that I haven't posted one of my favorite albums by them. In the interest of not failing my home state (and by consequence, not having defender of NJ Danny Devito come by and kick me in the balls), let me just state that Bigwig's Invitation To Tragedy is an essential. Released over 10 years ago back in 2001 (shit, that's a sobering thought), I remember logging many skate hours to the beautiful sounds [...]

Bigwig is one of those bands that I've always been shocked that they never completely exploded in terms of popularity goes. After years of releasing solid after solid album, it's pretty damn hard to believe that Stay Asleep (my first Bigwig album) came out nearly 10 years ago. These days, not unlike Propagandhi, Bigwig plays a more thrashy punk rock... but back in the day (aaaand I'm
Most of you overlooked this album when it came out in 2006, and I can't really blame you, as it was Bigwig's latest after a hiatus of 5 years. However, I'm suggesting (DEMANDING) that you listen up, and listen closely… Reclamation rocks and any Bigwig fan (or any punk-thrash fan in general for that matter) should go pick up this shiz. Bigwig's Reclamation starts right where Invitation to Tragedy left off. Thrashy, fast and aggressive as hell, the [...]

Well, the updates around these parts have been scarcer than a new Streetlight Manifesto new release … oh wait, I can't use that line anymore. Damn. Anyway, yours truly just got back from his good ole' college town (where the housewives all met.) Besides being dragged to the homecoming concert of Eve6, it was a pretty sweet weekend. Thus, the theme of the day shall be 'friends'. Now to hit up Brooklyn , Boston , and New [...]

The little bean sprout and I are home alone this weekend while Amy is off at an out-of-town wedding shower. So far Hailey has tried to put sunglasses on the cat, she has hit him with a plastic baseball bat, and fetched plastic practice golf balls for me. We've been having a good time. Anyhow, here are a few songs that remind me of her or remind her of me. Some of them go back to the first mixtapes we made each other almost ten years ago. Enjoy. MP3 | The [...]
