Song of the Day | Pixies "Um Chagga Lagga"

One can be too precious about anything: sports, politics, dogs. It's best to stay away from that mode of worship. Here's a good example: famed grunge granddaddies, the Pixies. A few years ago they decided to get back together, and this time not just tour, but make some new songs. Well, you can imagine the dour reaction from the self-proclaimed Pixies cognoscenti when not only did the music not sound like their heroin-soaked output of yesteryear, but (GASP) featured a bass player NOT named "Kim Deal".

Review | Blink182 - California

First things first, I am and always have been a fan. This band came around at exactly the right time in my adolescence to reel me in with catchy hooks and a goofy attitude helping to really relieve some of those angsty moments. All of that is still intact on California. This is a really solid album for a band full of late thirty-somethings who make music about the feelings of a sixteen year-old boy.
