Leonard Cohen
The 1960s were a time of social upheaval and unrest, and music was judged based on the weight of its message. One could argue for the dominance of one artist or another, one group or another, but in America, the reigning champion and spokesman for a generation was good old [Read More]
Tokyo Police Club
Now that I’ve avoided leaving behind my Gemini identity and becoming a Taurus, as I was in fact born before 2009, I think it’s time for some new music. While not the most recent, the release “A Lesson in Crime”, by Tokyo Police Club has won over my [Read More]
