The Soft Pack 's first full-length as the Soft Pack is out today and it picks up right where their great Muslims album left off—just a bit more polished and tightly wound. The album also features a rare slow moment from the San Diego band with "Mexico"—a breakup song of sorts introduced with an easy saunter of a bass line and reverby guitar that recalls the receding tide.

I'd love to be able to say I did this list in one shot, fired from the hip, and came out fearlessly and decisively with my rock solid Top 20 Albums list ready for prime time. The truth is, unfortunately filled with scribbles, crumpled paper balls, wishing I had 25 slots, and a few question marks that will inevitably be answered in a year or two from now when I look back on this list and laugh at myself. I must admit my 2008 list held up pretty well for me over time. Even my 2007 [...]
A rich heaping pile of offensive fun that overloads the ears with melodies pertaining to the subjects of anything from drugs, booze and women, to rocking it louder than any other band out there. Steel Panther's, Feel The Steel, is reviving the age old glam metal back into style and for what it is, it's definitely worth a good listen through. The Good: Humorous, heavily influenced by and parodies some of the best glam metal artists out there, vulgar, crude, and totally offensive in almost every way, some hilarious rock ballads thrown [...]

Underground Resistance (often abbreviated to UR) is one of the seminal US techno labels, led by Jeff Mills and "Mad" Mike Banks. Sometimes unlistenable. Always challenging. As Wiki says: They are the most militantly political example of modern Detroit Techno, with a grungy, four-track musical aesthetic and a strictly anti-mainstream business strategy. They have exerted their portion of Detroit Techno's cultural influence towards promoting political activism. Begun in the late 1980s by Jeff Mills and "Mad" Mike Banks, UR related the aesthetics of early Detroit Techno to the complex social, political, and economic circumstances which [...]
I surprised my son for Christmas and scored 2 tickets on eBay to the Carolina Panthers-New York Giants game over the holidays. It would be his first trip to a visiting team's venue. What a better place for his first visit than the confines of the Meadowlands, for the last game at Giants stadium, complete with New York fanfare.

In 2009 Pterodactyl unleashed Worldwild on us, an album that absolutely explodes right from the minute you hit play. It is a record meant to be played loud and full of art rock with a bit of energy and excitement behind it. This is not cross your arms and nod along rock, this is go ape shit as the band makes you deaf for the next half hour rock. Jesse from the band was kind enough to put together a couple of lists for us counting down the best of the decade [...]
