I’m kind of loving this guy right now. I have always had this affinity for Nintendo music, or as most people call it nowadays, 8-bit. I guess it just reminds me of my youth. I used to love the music on my Nintendo and gameboy. I remember, while playing Tetris, turning the little volume wheel [...]

Basia Bulat Live at the Highline Ballroom, NYC – 09/19/08

Oceans Will Rise on August 19th!

Since finding out that the stills are releasing a new album on August 19th, entitled Ocean’s WIll Rise, I have been listening to them a lot. It’s probably been over a year since I’ve listened to them last, but now that I’ve started again it has reminded me of how much I like them. Listening [...]

David Martel – I Hardly Knew Me

This picture fully encapsulates what is David Martel’s first solo album, but far from his first venture into music making, as he has been at it for quite awhile. I first got wind of Martel when he was the lead singer of the band onlyforward. Even then it seemed as if it was Martel’s show. [...]
