¡Viva La Mainstream!
Artist: Fall Out Boy Album: From Under the Cork Tree Release Date: May 3, 2005 It’d be easy for me to cut Fall Out Boy to pieces in this post, since it’s both the cool thing to do these days and it’d be in the context of this album, quite possibly their weakest one to date. But I won’t. Becaus...

This one’s for my brother, who’s a fan of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. I feel like I, too, would be a fan of this show if a) my roommates didn’t hijack the TV Monday nights so they could watch football and/or House, and b) if my schedule in general allowed for more TV watching. Anyw...

Artist: Aerosmith Album: Toys in the Attic Release Date: April 8, 1975 I’ve been looking for a way into the ongoing mess that has been Aerosmith these past few weeks, and everything I’ve read and heard about it has held this album up on a pedestal, so here we are. My...

I owe you guys a ton of reviews this weekend, and since I’m pretty sure this is the one your most interested in, we’ll lead off with it: The very image that the mind associates with the words “crooked vultures” should have given excited listeners a clue as to what to expect from the supergr...

Artist: The Calling Album: Camino Palmero Release Date: July 10, 2001 There’s plenty to dislike about The Calling, and Camino Palmero. ...

So I have to confess that since I first blogged about Glee way back in May, I hadn’t watched any more of it until about a week ago, when I caught the last 15 minutes of the most recent episode “Wheels” (which, if you ask me, missed a hell of an opportunity for a well-timed Foo Fighters tie-i...

¡Viva La Mainstream!
Artist: Creedence Clearwater Revival Album: Bayou Country Release Date: January 5, 1969 Out of all the bands from before my time that I listen to, I think it’s a perpetual fight between The Who and CCR for my favorite. ...
¡Viva La Mainstream!
Artist: Various Album: High Fidelity: Original Soundtrack Release Date: May 28, 2000 In my play and screenwriting class last year, I wrote a short piece that took place in a record store, and a couple of my classmates called me out, saying that it was a little too obvious that I was a fan of High...

Artist: Secondhand Serenade Album: Awake Release Date: January 10, 2007 I’m not going to try to suggest to you that Secondhand Serenade is anything other than a poor man’s Dashboard Confessional. In...

So, astute readers will notice a new page on the left hand side of the site (as well as up top) entitled “Albums of 2009″. This page lists every album that came out in 2009 that I’ve listened to so far. It’s...
