NOTES
- The new Lacuna Coil album is already the worst album of the year
- The decision to give Young Joc a chance was a poorly-made one
- I should have taken one look at the name of the new Megadeth album and turned away
- Sepalcure is very relaxing-
- Woody Guthrie really loved that river
- I think Lushlife should be in the discussion of the dopest new hip hop
- Save The Swim Team!
- Wishbone Ash is highly underrated
- 2 Built To Spill albums in one day? I’ve gone mad.
- I need more Pharoahe in my life
- “Jumpin’ from 6 to 6”
- I listened to more jazz this month than I did in all of 2011
- I wish I could travel back to the mid-50s just so I could hit on and be rejected by Wanda Jackson
- I cleaned my bathroom while listening to Entombed
I also saw Ethan Harvey, North Americans, Kids Say The Darndest Things, Aukerman, and Nsomnia perform live.
