AJ Korkidakis & Lessons Learned

LESSONS LEARNED. Sam and Charlie are two friends who, after being apart for many years, meet again at an old teacher's funeral. They are soon guilt-stricken as they reminisce about the childish pranks they pulled on their teachers years ago. Revelations–and regrets–quickly ensue when they decide to go apologize to another former teacher.

New Swears - Funny Isn't Real

 
Inquisitive stoned hipster asks : "So, what kind of music does your band play?" 

Also stoned hipster musician replies : "Uh.. I don't know... rock I guess.."

The world of rock and roll is about as dirty as my pile of socks that pay homage to my unbearable laziness. There are so many different sub genres and styles to take into consideration when you're describing the sound of your favourite rock band. New Swears falls into a category that isn't serious by any means, but they are tight as fuck.

Grouper - The Man Who Died In His Boat

 

Some albums must be heard on a good system in order to capture minor nuances in sound. The Man Who Died In His Boat, the latest release from Liz Harris better known as Grouper, demands a proper listen. Harris' ethereal voice, combined with simple guitar strums and multi-layered drones envelops the listener like a dense fog.


Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II

 

I had never really heard Unknown Mortal Orchestra before listening to this album. I joked with some people at the station that it sounded like it should be a name for a metal band but it is far from it - I found this album to be quite boring really.
