Alias Wayne – “Manifest Destiny” review
Final verdict: 6/10 ★★★☆☆ Well, here’s another narrative hole fer ye, fresh out the oven. I am generally a fan of fleshed-out americana – maybe because mentally, I am but a little boy from Texas, the world capital of American exotica. For reference, please consult my brand-spankin’-new review of the brand-spankin’-new Christmas choon that is El… Read more

El Drifte – “Here the Holidays Is” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ ‘Tis the season! If my review of Seiko Matsuda’s winter-themed “North Wind” (1980) wasn’t enough ice-cold festivity to satisfy your reader’s fancy, here we got a proper, real, true, legit Christmas tune. By which I mean, it doesn’t dance around the meat, implying Christmas through winter-season imagery – nay, this goes… Read more

Kaori Mochida – “qq” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ 2025 has been a much promising year for music. I admit I am not one to routinely seek out new releases, but it appears to me that the popstar archetype is back in full force (see: Lady Gaga and her brilliant new album “Mayhem,” Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, both of which… Read more

Seiko Matsuda – “North Wind” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ It is that time of year again, folks – December, final round! There’s a lot of things to reminisce upon, many a blessing and equally many a lovely memory, but there are also quite a few regrets I exit the year bearing; I suppose everyone feels that way to some extent, way… Read more

Amber Gomez – “I’m Not Black and Blue” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ I’m not sure whether I’ve ever expressed this opinion out in the open, but man, I’m really not a fan of Taylor Swift. Questionable ethics aside, her music is… nothing to me, and that is her greatest sin in my humble opinion. To my ears, it is a big, meaty slab… Read more

Blind Uncle Harry – “Kimberly Kankowski” review
Final verdict: 7/10 ★★★⋆˙⟡☆ This is a comedy rock type deal, I take it? I’m not saying this because “Kimberly Kankowski,” the new single by Blind Uncle Harry (to be released on December 4th of this year!), is a bad song – the tune itself is fine. But the lyrics it has on show at first… Read more

The Heard Eye – “Plenty Love” review
Final verdict: 9/10 ★★★★⋆˙⟡ Man, when I read that The Heard Eye, the 5-piece outfit I was assigned to review on this cold Tuesday night, did “funk rock”, I was pumped to check them out. As a certified funky fellow, I love myself some funk to get down and funky to. Needless to say, I felt… Read more
