Candy Apple Grey, Hüsker Dü (1986)

In 1986 it was all falling apart (as everything does), the Dü had barely a year left. But that didn’t stop them from accelerating full-pace towards that thick brick wall of gleaming pop rock. Candy Apple Grey is, I think, the group’s most radio-friendly release, with an entire acoustic cut (emo voice breaks and all) plus a piano ballad. It takes a little adjusting to the new direction but once attuned, Candy Apple Grey is equal parts ferocious, energetic, wistful and melancholic; as good as either of the Dü records either side of it.

假假條 (JaJaTao) - 時代在召喚（The Rite of Spring

When I moved to China I was 18 and didn’t know anything about their music scene. Now I’d hardly consider myself an expert but I have some opinions. One is that Jajatao has revolutionized noise rock and grunge and should be the biggest band in the world. This album blew my mind on my first listen and I’ve been listening to it nonstop since. Genuinely one of the best records world wide to have come out during the 2010’s. If you haven’t heard of them, or if you don’t know anything about the Chinese scene, listen to this record and have your mind changed. Fixed even. 10/10 record.

Lecture 21: “1979”  - The Smashing Pumpkins: “1979” was the second single released from The Smashing Pumpkins third (double) album Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995). The album was a monster hit, debuting in the #1 position on the Billboard 200 and earning critical acclaim. This song (“1979”) was by far their biggest hit, rising to #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and  #1 on both the Billboard Alternative Songs and the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. The song remains a classic rock anthem of the mid-nineties, and the video presents a very Nineties-ified (if that’s a word???) portrayal of the late 197

Tyler Posey Is Alone & Alive While Seeking Freedom On Debut Album ‘UNRAVEL’

If you’re looking for adrenaline-filled pop-punk, beach-ready love songs, and more mellow moments of introspection, look no further! Tyler Posey has officially released his debut album, UNRAVEL, and this is seriously one project you can’t miss.

Been feeling my inner goth lately, listening to lots of Siouxsie & the Banshees.

But somehow I completely forgot that Siouxsie Sioux did stuff after Siouxsie & the Banshees?? I've gone so many years not knowing how hard her other albums slap. How dumb.

Two Year Anniversary of Alone

I used to laugh when older people told me that the years fly right past them. Growing up, a year seemed to last forever. But now I’m at that age where I understand what they meant. As today, we already celebrate the second anniversary of my single “Alone.” Even though it feels like just yesterday that it was released, it’s already been two years since I released the song with the world. The…
