It’s great to have @MaryT_Money out there: one of the lifers promoting what’s sure to be one of the best albums of the year, with one of the best bands touring. It’s the first must-go-to tour of the year.

A future release will definitely require a strong-handed producer who is capable of refining the band’s fury, but that addition may prove to illustrate that Kirkby Kiss is capable of realizing something which actually tempers the sounds presented here

This time around these songs actually seem to belong together on an album instead of a random assembly of songs. Intercepted Message is the most interesting and engaging @TheeOhSees has sounded in many years. A must-listen to synth-psych-punk-rock fans.

Without intending to sound coy, the desire that On Further Reflection leaves in those who go front-to-back with the EP will be for more music immediately; the bar has been set incredibly high.

Darby became an icon after all, like Sid Vicious. A talentless junkie whose inability to cope with reality led to their self-destruction. Maybe that was all part of the plan. He might be laughing wherever he is now.

I’m truly shocked at how much I enjoyed this. It pains me to say it, but @theFlash is the current high point of the DC universe. Let’s hope the new creative team actually does something with it.

Stepping back from it and taking the album as a whole, there’s no way to deny that Human Reaction has its flaws and would benefit from greater refinement, but its imperfection is the bait which promises to leave listeners hoping for more music from mssv.

My love for the band @Snuffband knows no bounds. They’re one of those bands from my formative punk years that have remained relevant and continued on an interesting path. This time, Snuff have reimagined their old songs in an acoustic more ballady format.

Albums this special don’t come very often and it’s reason enough to celebrate. @brutalyouth709 might have put out the best record of their career, but one thing is for sure, they have just set the bar for the best album of 2023.

I gotta say, I wasn’t going into @renfieldmovie with high hopes but I was kind of surprised. It’s a very cool concept, but cool concepts often get ruined by poor executions or lack of vision. Renfield is a little of column A and a little of column B.

Simply put, @TheeOhSees at the Sinclair was a room of pure energy. I’m an old man, but I was on the floor almost front and center right at ground zero. The band never turned off the action switch, so the crowd didn’t either.

Illegitimate Authority by #NoamChomsky gets a little repetitive at times, like with presenting the cause for the Ukrainian invasion and directions in which it could go, but this book is still highly informative and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

All I can say, from one #VentureBros fan to another, is that @jacksonpublick and Doc made good on the show, for us AND them, because in a way, we’re all in this together. This one is for the fans, and that’s what this show has always been: for the fans.

Ducks is a good book. Of course it is because it’s a @beatonna book and her comics are better than 90% of the stuff that’s out there. It’s very relatable and teaches us about real life experiences. It just doesn’t seem to have a beginning or an end.

Wronger represents a new and fresh drink of water from @tommy_stinson , after an incredibly long dry spell. Hoping for more in the future would be nice but those who discover Wronger should be satisfied – this time, Stinson got it right.

As far as its historical significance, Elephant came hot off the heels of #theWhiteStripes’ previous album, White Blood Cells, which helped cement that, at least for the time being, garage rock was going to reign supreme.

ET walks the slippery slope between adults and children. It’s smart and memorable and maybe deserves to be seen with fresh eyes to truly be appreciated.

Random Acts of Medicine by @ChrisWorsham and @AnupamBJena is written in a way that helps us gain a better understanding of the world around us and gives us the tools to improve our lives. One of the must-read books of the year.

It’ll be interesting to hear where @SpittingImageGR steers their course on their next album; there’s little doubt that there will be a change but, because this entry is as compelling as it is, listeners will be left waiting with baited breath
