Reviews of things I've listened to.•Back to Reviews Page
Acacia / Haru Yo, Koi (Nina Kraviz Remix) - Single • 2024 • Yumi Matsutoya I have a weird relationship with J-Pop. I spent a good chunk of my childhood desperately trying to escape it. Now I appreciate some of it. Yumi Matsutoya is right on the edge of liking and only wanting in small doses. 😄 • Liked It
Affection • 2020 • Bugseed I don't know how I ran across Bugseed. I have zero memory of it. All I know is, this is wonderful lo-fi funk, perfect for programming, zoning out, or just forgetting the hellscape that is 2025. Can recommend. • Liked It
Any Day • 2018 • The Sea and Cake A lot of alternative sounds the same, and it's annoying about it. I stumbled across these guys by accident somehow, and they don't strike me that way. A nice summer evening listen with a Honey Ale or a Coffee Stout. • Liked It
Dive • Artist: Almost Monday • I heard "Can't Slow Down" in a 7-Eleven, that's literally how I discovered this album and band Not my usual, but good! • Liked It
Magic Monkey • Godiego • 1980 • A childhood favorite from when I lived in Kagoshima, Japan. Apparently Apple Music has heard of Godiego, so hey! Good work, Apple! • Loved It!
Passive Aggressive Robot - Single • 2022 • Rinzen A two song single release that is great for inclusion in a workout mix or just anytime you want to hear electronic or dance music. • Loved It!
The Jazz Influence: Electronic Jazz Compiled by Kevin Yost • 2006 • Various Artists I don't know if you ever listen to modern eclectic jazz, if that's even a thing, but it's great. This is a nice up and downbeat album - again, is that even a thing? But it is, and it's great. • Loved It!
Trilogy (The Best Of) • 2015 • Bitter:Sweet I don't even know what genre this is, but I like it. Bitter:Sweet is featured on "Martini Bar Essentials" on Apple Music, so consider that. But I don't care. I like it. • Loved It!
