KATE BUSH – Hounds of Love (Pts 1-4)
Kate Bush just released her tenth studio album and first in six years, 50 Words for Snow. So are we covering it? Hell no! That would be too easy. Instead, we’re going back into the crate to dust off our copy of her seminal, groundbreaking masterpiece Hounds of Love. And man does that sucker hold … Continue reading
KATE BUSH – Hounds of Love (Part 4)
Sarah was procrastinating her post by having drinks at The Toasted Oak in Novi, MI, so Brandon called the joint and had them play some Kate Bush because there’s nothing Brandon likes more than a little passive-aggressive omniscient motivation. Also, Sarah now understands the power and genius of “The Ninth Wave” side of Bush’s Hounds … Continue reading
KATE BUSH – Hounds of Love (Part 3)
Brandon takes us through Hounds of Love’s B-side, “The Ninth Wave” and comes out the other side with an even deeper appreciation for the album as a whole, which plays like a fully realized horror film, something Jean Cocteau or David Lynch would have been proud to have made.
KATE BUSH – Hounds of Love (Part 2)
So Sarah takes a stab at the double-platinum Hounds of Love, one of the most important, highly regarded albums in the history of pop music and goes, “meh.” That’s not totally fair. Brandon is a little overly excited and his enthusiasm is tough to match. Sarah does throw together a list of contemporary male artists … Continue reading

This week, Kate Bush is releasing her tenth studio album and first in six years, 50 Words for Snow. So are we covering it? Hell no! That would be too easy.

ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Pts 1-4)
Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter side/solo-project, Atlas Sound’s third official LP, Parallax hits the shelves tomorrow. Everyone is really excited about it. Everyone except Brandon and Chris. The two of them got together this week to try to figure out what the big deal was. Their conclusion was about as unsatisfying as every Bradford Cox album. (Which … Continue reading
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 4)
Bradford Cox is getting creepily serendipitous. He puts himself on Chris’s car stereo just in time for Chris’s response, and guides Chris and Brandon to the same lyric by sheer metaphysical willpower. That lyric: “Gave me bruises after the first time.” Spooky. Get out of our heads, Cox!
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 3)
Parallax refers to the displacement or difference in the perceived position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight. Clearly Chris and Brandon are looking at Parallax from a different angle than seemingly everyone else. Do I hear science experiment!? Not really. Just another bubble Brandon’s trying to burst.
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 2)
So…Bradford Cox is a mensch. That doesn’t mean his music is memorable, but, man does he make a great first impression. Chris thinks Cox is “one of the pure musicians out there, just making as much music as he can for the sake of music.” Completely forgettable music.
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 1)
Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter side/solo-project, Atlas Sound’s third official LP, Parallax hits the shelves tomorrow. Everyone is really excited about it. Everyone except Brandon. And he can’t figure out exactly why. This letter goes out to Chris Atto.
