I wanted to throw this album out there because I’m seeing The Police this week and there were not many new releases this week, except for Minnie Driver’s new album Seastories (yes, Minnie Driver the actress from Good Will Hunting and Hard Rain).
The 1978 debut from The Police is one of my favorites. Lyrically […]

This week’s song is “Bittersweet Me” by R.E.M. I heard this song a couple of days ago and it’s been stuck in my head since. It was the second single from the band’s tenth studio album, New Adventures in Hi-Fi, released in 1996. It was also the last album that featured drummer Bill Berry. The band […]

It’s been 7 years since the Smashing Pumpkins have released a new album, maybe they should have waited another 7.

Dave Grohl founded the band 6 months after Nirvana Kurt Cobain had committed suicide, however, Dave had […]
