Jethro Tull – Thick As A Brick – Album review by Joshua Reedy. (1972) My copy: 2015 reissue by Chrysalis. Jethro Tull’s 1972 jab at conceptual progressive-rock records consists of the first ever full-LP-spanning song; that is, both 20+ minute sides are technically one long song (which suits their controversial sense of humor quite nicely). […]
Modest Mouse – Night On The Sun – Joshua Reedy Reviews, by Joshua Reedy. Modest Mouse – Night On The Sun (1999) My copy: 2016 reissue by Glacial Pace. This is a reissue of the original Japan-only EP that was released in 1999 ahead of Moon & Antarctica. Only two tracks are exclusive to this […]

Charles Mingus – Mingus – Review by Joshua Reedy. (1972) My copy: 1972 stereo compilation by Prestige. This 1972 double album collects two live shows recorded in 1955 at the Bohemia Cafe in New York (Mingus At The Bohemia and Charles Mingus Quintet & Max Roach). Mingus and his crew tackle a variety of styles […]
The Pop Group – Citizen Zombie, album review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Freaks R Us. Over 30 years had passed since The Pop Group’s dark, primitive and engrossing debut – a record so bold and distinctly paranoid that it still stands as a beacon of influence in the realm of […]
Pinkshinyultrablast – Grandfeathered. Review by Joshua Reedy. (2016) My copies: Limited 2016 press on pink and purple vinyl and limited 2016 press on “acid lollypop” vinyl, both by Club AC30. trailing their full-length debut by only a year, Granfeathered takes Pinkshinyultrablast’s signature shoegaze style and stretches it thin through prog-influenced songwriting labyrinths – while this […]
Pavement – The Secret History, Vol. 1 (1990 – 1992) – Review by Joshua Reedy. (2015) My copy: 2015 press by Matador. Pavement’s resounding success through the 90s as popularizers of sonically dry, lyrically humorous post-punk in the U.S. awarded them a fairly comfortable career when the time came to sign on with Matador. Pavement’s early […]
The Gun Club – Fire Of Love (1981) My copy: reissue from unknown year by Munster Records. Being a fervent student of punk, rockabilly and blues, Jeffrey Lee Pierce took it upon himself to arrange a shotgun wedding of the three styles. While punk spawned largely in post-blues exhaustion, the two genres showed more in […]
Yo La Tengo review by Josh Reedy. Yo La Tengo – I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One (1997) My copy: 2015 reissue by Matador. Though most people preferred the other 1997 album to prominently feature a major highway on its cover, I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One is still widely regarded […]
