Charlie & the Evil Mothers by Charlie & the Evil Mothers The debut full-length from Charlie & The Evil Mothers just hit the Internet the other day and I excitedly dove in. “Strings” has been in regular rotation for the last six months and my assumption was that a larger collection of songs would surely […]
dass is a pseudonym of Makeup and Vanity Set. This collection of 2000-era tracks is dance-y beats with WARP records flavored spastic flourishes. Intense to say the least.
The lineup for the 2018 Musicians Corner series has been announced and there’s a great deal of local music represented. Look for performances from the likes of Nikki Lane, Andrew Combs, Elise Davis, Alanna Royale, The Weeks, Tristen, Lasso Spells, Elle Macho, Los Colognes, Harpooner and Sun Seeker to name a few! The full breakdown […]
We chat for about an hour covering Lehning’s history, his process with several projects and some of his upcoming collaborative projects; including a fascinating piece with Jasmin Kaset that stems straight from the mind of Pee-Wee Herman.
The backing beat is borderline vaporwave but supports the vocal line from Jonesiii perfectly as it crosses between a crooning refrain and a smooth-yet-driving verse.
Do you know the Internationally Famous Twin Kegs bar? It’s a great dive on Thompson Lane that, occasionally, has some very bizarre karaoke. It also, apparently, has a very odd YouTube channel featuring a series of soap opera style commercials cast with various bar staff and a few familiar faces from around town – Dean […]

As with most of their songs, there’s a flippant Have A Good Time vibe to the whole thing but it’s not without it’s actual substance as the lyrics are a confessional piece about the difficulties of traversing high school sexuality.
In Episode Four, Vidalotry explores the 1968 televised debates between Gore Vidal and William F Buckley, Jr. Host Ryan Breegle looks at how Gore prepared his witty remarks in advance, the speed at which the debate became nothing more than a war of words, and how both men were greatly affected by the aftermath.
An extended theme song from Dave Paulson sets the tone for a whirlwind episode. Ashley and Jamie provide an exhaustive apology regarding the egregious faux paus of Elizabeth Woodville from Episode Six, celebrate the questionably gothic antics of President Abraham Lincoln, the unassailable Phil Lynott, the unpronouncable Domhnall Gleeson, the better-than-Ryan-Adams Mandy Moore, deliver a high priority Suits update and provide a deep dive into Ashley’s bathtime rituals. All that AND the bag gives insights into Jay Duplass, Nigella Lawson, Justin Bieber and David Letterman.
Aside from the fact that it’s instrumental, the production and instrumentation here veers heavily into an almost Muzak zone. It’s borderline corny but entrancing with its variety.
