Album Review ∞ A.A. Bondy: Believers
I have a real fondness for A.A. Bondy. His albums always seem to come out when major life changes are about to happen/have just happened to me. His debut came out when The Duchess became pregnant with our second child. … Continue reading
Album Preview ∞ The Duke & The King: The Duke & The King
Back in 2009, The Duke and The King released one of my favorite albums that year. Last year they released their sophomore album – Long Live The Duke & The King. Apparently it was HUGE overseas but didn’t make any … Continue reading

Album Review ∞ Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs: God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise
I’ve been praising Ray for years. In fact, his 2006m album “Till The Sun Turns Black” was my favorite album that year. His third album “Gossip In The Grain” was kind of a disappointment to me. Thankfully, on this new … Continue reading
