Donny Osmond – The Palace Theatre – Review – by Klyde Kadiddlehumper. The Palace Theater – July 3, 2024 Ever watched your entire life flash before your eyes? I swear, it has now happened to me – twice! The first time was rather more dramatic. The second, while not as dramatic, was certainly more entertaining. […]
Glen David Andrews – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. Jill and I ate pizza at the house with a much smaller house on a prairie on the telly toting Michael Landon on his morning trek to Olsen’s Mercantile. It was a big night, which goes to say a Friday night, but a big […]
REVIEW: The Squirrels @ Sand Lake Center for The Arts, Averill Park By J HUNTER It’s been established right from the jump that the Albany theater group Harbinger is dedicated to showing us things we’ve never seen before. Up until now, that’s meant putting on regional premieres of wild plays like Theresa Reback’s Dig (produced […]
Vibes and No Fun – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. I like chronicling my Friday nights for a number of reasons. I used to be a bit of a recluse. I was that guy who promised my friends I’d go to their show and stare down the long hallway to the front door […]
Chef Dave and the Blues Allstars – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. It was a Friday night. Not that hot but the still air was in need of a hug. I hadn’t been out. Sick. Tired. Sick and tired of being sick and tired but the point remained the same, I needed to […]
Pre – Epic Fits – An Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2007) My copy: 2007 press on blue vinyl by Skin Graft Records. Beginning (as all punk bands do) with a small rash of 7” singles and live performances, London’s Pre committed roughly 25 minutes of blistering rock chaos to their debut LP in 2007. […]
Death Grips – The Money Store – Album Review – by Joshua Reedy. Death Grips – The Money Store (2012) My copy: 2018 reissue by Epic. Regardless of how one feels about Death Grips, the sensation they generated through the internet was easily a defining moment for alternative music in the 2010s. Where Ex Military […]
Oneohtrix Point Never – Again – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2023) My copy: 2023 limited press on orange transparent vinyl by Warp Records. Having built a strong reputation across a multitude of electronic projects, Daniel Lopatin now cashes in on his modern influence to compile what is likely his most ambitious project yet. Spanning […]
Brian Kane Trio – Friday Night Block Party – Twisted Fiddler – by Liam Sweeny. It’s 6pm and I’m full of linguini alfredo, home cooked, and because of that I’m full of vim and vigor, and an outright taste for some sweet music and groovy people. That’s where the Twisted Fiddler comes in. Or really […]
Cherubs – Heroin Man – Review by Joshua Reedy. (1994) My copy: 2023 limited reissue on hot pink vinyl by Brutal Panda Records. Heroin Man is probably the greatest (or at least most underrated) example of the 90s alternative zeitgeist – in that their drunken, cantankerous persona reflects an obsession with the extreme; from destructive […]
