Top 12 Albums 2016
Here’s my Favorite 12 Albums of 2016. 12 because 10 isn’t ever enough, and “favorite” (as opposed to “best”) because objectivity in art is impossible. There are a lot of albums from 2016 that I didn’t listen to, and a lot of other albums that I heard once but never spent time with, so expect…

Comic Books Out 7, 14, 21 October 2015
Butter and Blood (Steven Weissman) [Retrofit] A collection of short stories, mini comics, zine entries, designs, sketches, etc. put together by an individual with impeccable taste and style.

The basic story is that of a woman aboard a vessel trying to investigate the mysterious death/disappearance of her estranged sister. There’s plenty of drama and intrigue of the regular human and of the supernatural/science fiction type, and it’s all combined…

Prestige Format Guide to Upcoming Releases, Early 2015
Lots of music that’s coming out that I am excited about! January 1/13 Panda Bear – vs. The Grim Reaper — I loved Person Pitch and was less enthused by Tomboy. The prerelease mix and EP have skewed pretty beat-heavy, so I’m excited. Teen Daze – A World Away EP — The two tracks released…

Favorite Albums, 2014
These aren’t necessarily the “best” albums that came out last year, but they’re definitely the ones I’ve listened to the most. Alphabetically:
