“Kid Again ft. Marcus Kar” has slamming drums, lead bass, and big shouting vocals. It’s big rock rapper, quite unlike anything else here, and surely welcomed because it is. “6_20,” ends, again with slicing electric cutting through with Well’s heavily auto-tuned voice. It’s slightly lighter than what came before but reveals a fast rap in keeping with the rest of Hard Pill to Swallow.

New York composer/songwriter Chris Ianuzzi sets us up on an intergalactic trip with his new album Planeteria.
The title track gets us out and among the stars quickly with its low synth spread and twinkling breathy sounds. At just about the two-minute mark, a shunky drum machine starts, and we are off flying through space, with more spacey sounds settling by and a kinetic arpeggio of keys.

If you’ve yet to catch-up with Bruce Hornsby or only know him from hits like “The Way It Is,” you owe it to yourself to grab Non-Secure Connection and get to know what this brilliant musician is up to presently.

Les Techno’s Flowers for Dystopia is ten-song collection of some interesting songwriting, very good guitar playing and a true vision

The thing about The Doors was always that I dug the Morrison mystique and love lots of their tunes (lots of which Robby Krieger penned). But for me, it was always Krieger who made that band. On The Ritual Begins At Sundown, it is obvious Robby Krieger is still a force to be reckoned with. 

First of all, fans of the 27-year-old rapper are happy to see her back with some new music. Cardi B. hasn’t given us anything in nine months, a lifetime in the diva rap music world. Secondly, if you are a fan of female singers, you get a full plate of them here, each in a cameo wearing some stunningly sexy stuff. Normani, Rubi Rose and Sukihana, Mulatto, and Rosalía are featured across “WAP.” Megan Thee Stallion, joins Cardi at the opening of the tune and is pretty much her partner throughout.

#1. July 14th saw a massive theft in Las Vegas property…and I do mean ‘massive.’ A masked man was captured on video coming into the Déjà Vu Love Boutique, an adult shop right off the infamous Las Vegas Strip (and adjacent to our friends at The Erotic Heritage Museum) stealing their world-famous massive dildo. “The world’s largest retail dildo,” as it is titled on Amazon, is three-feet tall, weighs forty pounds, and was just standing, minding its own business, right there on the store’s sales floor. The fake cock stealer heaved the dildo across his shoulder like he had every right to, left the store, and wresting the huge member into his vehicle.  

We have seen normal life be disrupted like never before due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus has caused events to be […]

We get back to the warble and folk with the last tune, “Roll With The Punches,” but Goldner’s piano and ukulele add just enough color to lift us from what might have expected. This also might be the very best lyric on a collection of songs that have very solid lyrics.

Opening with fiddle, piano, and banjo thickening a sweet bed for the story-song opener, “Sound of Heartbreak,” we get lots of Taubaman’s strong and loud pipes. “Desert Boy” follows, a slow tune informed mainly by upright bass, organ, and piano, a perfect country ballad.
