1. CRIME IN STEREO
The Troubled Stateside
MP3 | MYSPACE
It’s been a while since I’ve heard an album that has made me want to detach from American landscape and find a way to cope with a suburban nightmare. While most bands within the melodic hardcore genre seems to showcase some self-important elitism over the […]
1. Joanna Newsom
Ys
MP3 | Myspace
One of the songs that struck me the most off of Joanna Newsom’s previous album Milk-Eyed Mender, was the song Sadie. One line in particular always stayed with me, “This is an old song, these are old blues. This is not my tune, but it’s mine to use.” This […]

1. BASEMENT JAXX
CRAZY ITCH RADIO
MP3 | MySpace

This year has been long and eventful for myself. While the events have not always been good or bad it was definitely a growing year. Part of that growing was finding a new job (here at Relative Theory) which has been fantastic. In my musical wanderings throughout the year these are a few albums that […]
