Fridays 'round these parts typically see gobs of remixes. Today didn't seem right posting a "Friday Remixes," partly due to the fact that this entire weekend most people will be celebrating Christmas with family, friends and loved ones. I plan on doing the bulk of my shopping today and my procrastinating has taken me as far out as possible. No matter how hard I try to fight it every year, I fall into the same trap. Saturday will be full of football from morning till nighttime. I'm in the championship game of my fantasy league, so I'll be [...]

Flashback, 1987: I'm a freshman in high school, just finding my way into the dark underbelly of underground music thanks to the burgeoning alternative college radio scene in and around the Boston area and a younger brother whose musical tastes blossomed early. I hadn't really noticed UK band The Smiths during middle school, but when Girlfriend in a Coma hit the airwaves, it touched me deeply, and I purchased the album from which it came, hardly aware that it would be their last, that the band was already disintegrating from the stress between an exhausted and [...]

Pure, unadulterated simplicity here. Acoustic bliss is found in this not too daring, but wonderfully deft cover of throwback indie favorites, The Smiths, by singer-songwriter, Josh Rouse. It may not ask much of the your palette, but sometimes there is nothing like that fall-back favorite from the menu. It's simple, you know you'll love every bite, and you feel like you haven't had it in ages.

ff Rouse's throwback album 1972 that is all about fun, well placed back up vocals, musical hooks and being groovy.

To be honest, I haven't checked out all of Josh Rouse's (@bedroomclassics) records, but based on those that I have heard, I'd say that he's creating some pretty amazing music. I was first exposed to him while a buddy and I were geeking out to old disco string arrangements via videos on YouTube. He played "Come Back" from Rouse's album 1972 , and I was sold. Though Rouse has released music as a solo artist since 1998, his more recent work reflects his move to Valencia, Spain with his wife and child. I'm not the [...]
