(Album of the Month) December 2014: Kate Bush – The Kick Inside (1978)

2015/01/12

Kate Bush – 1978 Its taking me a while to suss out how I was going to give due diligence to an artist I admire as highly as Kate. One of the wonders of December is that its a month so long, and at times so cold, that you settle into the warmth of comforting…
(Album of the Month) November 2014: Van Morrison – Veedon Fleece (1974)

2014/12/01

Van Morrison, his pooch, and Carol Guida November, has gone and past, but its effects still linger. Physically, the body feels the languidity of the environment taking over. Emotionally, the fog of memories and an overabundance of pressures; whether work, relationship, or fraternal, start to weigh on you. Spiritually, you attempt to draw on the…
Minnie Riperton: Adventures in Paradise (1975)

2014/09/30

Subconsciously, throughout this whole month there was an album and specifically an artist I was reminiscing about all through it. Something, about September reminds me about her. For me, September has always been one of my favorite months. I never can pinpoint why exactly. It could be that the environment reminds me of certain things…
(Album of the Month) August 2014: JJ Cale – Okie (1974)

2014/09/02

JJ Cale – 1974 Whew, how about that August? Looks like this year we needed more of a break from some of its dog days than others. Reflecting on this most summery of months, it seems that most of what we try to do, is use our economy of thought/time to maximize pockets of enjoyment…
Krisma: Clandestine Anticipation (1982)

2014/07/31

Fascination. That’s the main word I can use to describe the reason I’ve devoted my time in shedding light on Christina Moser and Maurizio Arcieri of Chrisma/Krisma. Most artists you can follow a trajectory pointing you how they get to a destination. However, Krisma from their beginning as a disco duo to this point as…
(Album of the Month) May 2014: Ned Doheny – Separate Oceans (2014)

2014/06/01

My friends, this is truly the summer of Ned. Ha, who the hell is Ned Doheny and why am I making this proclamation? Well, because I’m going to clue you guys in on my favorite and perhaps the best west-coast rock/R&B artist ever…that hardly anyone has ever heard. Before that, can I just expound a…
(Album of the Month) April 2014: Camel – Breathless (1979)

2014/04/30

There’s just something about April, and springtime in general. No other month just feels so comfortable, and affectionate. I mean how can you not be moved when you see all this life just blossoming around, or notice days getting longer, and the whole environment just warming you up from the cold chills of winter. Even…
