Silia – “The Forbidden Resort Chronicles” review
Final verdict: ??? Is this the single worst idea I’ve ever had? Yes. Am I still doing it? Also, yes. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, and everybody else. I’m reviewing my own album here. Obviously I won’t give it a rating (for I cannot objectively rate it – I consider it to be my child,… Read more

Ruth Ruth – “Laughing Gallery” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ It must’ve been July 2023 when I found this CD in the bargain bin of a hole-in-the-wall second-hand record store (that has since been closed down, RIP). This very amusing cover art caught my eye, and so I took the album home (having paid for it, obviously – I am by… Read more

Marina – “The Family Jewels” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ Marina has long been one of my favorite artists – through the holy trinity that is her first few albums (the “The Family Jewels” – “Electra Heart” – “Froot” run) she has proven herself to be a greatly creative songwriter, a force to be reckoned with. Those sentiments aren’t quite in… Read more

Street performing pandemonium
You know, it’s well past my bedtime, but just two hours ago I came back home from street performing – and on second thought, tonight’s show was utterly bonkers. So much so that I have to write about it – because there’s simply no other way of moving on with my life after all that… Read more

Lady Gaga – “Mayhem” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Say what you will about Lady Gaga – but one thing you absolutely cannot deny is that she’s an unlikely talent. A beast of a vocalist, a more-than-merely-competent pianist, and a reasonably trustworthy songwriter, complete with mind-blowing stage pyrotechnics. She’s what a popstar ought to be, the complete package. But well, let’s not… Read more

Yumi Arai – “Misslim” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ The sentiments expressed on my review of Yumi Arai’s (or Matsutoya’s, or, as I will again refer to her, Yuming’s) debut LP “ひこうき雲” ring true with her follow-up record, too. And the record in question is none other than 1974’s “Misslim” – an album that has rightfully acquired its place in… Read more

They Might Be Giants – “John Henry” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Although by the time I got to this album, I’d been only barely familiar with the majestic world of They Might Be Giants, I felt well acquainted with the concept of John, John, and a drum machine, as well as the rinky-dink sound… Read more

Overcaffeination
Greetings all, It’s 7.41pm as of my writing this. Today I woke up at roughly 7am, extremely sleep deprived (which doesn’t add up, considering I slept for a whopping 9 hours), yet determined to take on the admittedly scary day that I was facing. Three classes at two different schools, plenty of studying to be… Read more

Been a while, hasn’t it?
Well, shit. I just realized it’s been well over 3 years since the last time I posted here. Frankly, I had totally forgotten about the existence of this website until now that I released my 3rd album (“THE FORBIDDEN RESORT CHRONICLES” OUT NOW BABYYYY). But well… Enough is enough. Allow me to scream into the… Read more
