19 ‘Hardcore’ Years
19 years old today. When Pulp’s “This is Hardcore” hit the record stores, I was already 5 years smitten with front-man Jarvis Cocker, but this was the noise that bit me hard, and I got hooked. In fact, YGIM fell in so much love with the title track it made me realize no boy could […]

This is no case of hyperbole or exaggeration. Listen for yourself, feel that […]

Album Review: Brandon Schott – 13 Satellites
Do you remember the first album you listened to that truly allowed you to lose yourself in the moment and the music – that you could get thoroughly lost in, but was as familiar as your own snuggly and comfy skin? That, my friends is 13 Satellites, the 4th full length album from LA artist […]
