Some great stuff this month. Astronauts, Etc. “You Can Yell” and Macklemore x Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” were definitely my two favorites. That doesn’t mean the others weren’t good…these two were just above and beyond. If you haven’t heard either, you didn’t have a good…
I’ve seen Macklemore pop up on every blog I frequent over the last few months. Never once did I check him out. I am disgusted with myself. This “Thrift Shop” track is absolute gold. It’s got a hook that will grab you right in the…
NO arrived out of the blue and surprised me when I heard “Stay With Me”. It was a great track, and led to the six track EP Don’t Worry You’ll Be Here Forever a few weeks later. It’s been almost ten months since that release, but…

Trails And Ways promised a video in the near future when I talked with them a few weeks back, and here we are with “Mtn Tune” the vid. If dream pop music could be represented in visual form, this video is the case experiment. The…
When you think about it, is it technically an album review if there are only two tracks? Maybe I should say “EP Review”? Either way, I figure this way people understand what I am getting at…and what I’m getting at is this band I recently…
