Joby Longyin – “Chicken and Cheese With a Siding of Peas” review
This review was paid for by cheesrr. If you too want me to review your music, or any other release of your choosing, please place a commission here. Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Man, the 2010s were a peculiar time. I was but a young fellow at the time and the screentime I was allowed was (thankfully) minimal,… 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

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

Yumi Matsutoya – “流線形 ’80” review
Final verdict: 8/10 ★★★★☆ Trust me when I tell you that I really wanted to kick this review off by cracking a joke about how this album is just outtakes from “紅雀” that failed to make the cut due to being too interesting for that project – but man, this is just not that. What this is,… Read more

A recollection of my debut show
I performed my first big girl concert last night. It was titled “Freaky Auntie Punks The Blues – A rockin’ evening with Silia Stamatiadis”, and while it was neither punk nor blues, and I am definitely not an auntie (though I do have a niece, I am advised), it was absolutely rockin’. That is the… Read more

A very busy few days
If you know me any meaningful amount, you will probably be well acquainted with the notion that I am one busy young lady. I study at two different institutions, I am constantly booked and busy with a whole slew of side gigs, yet I somehow still manage to maintain a fulfilling social life atop it… Read more

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

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
