Something Old, Something New, Two Reviews for the Price of One: Wolf Parade and Arcade Fire
Written by Nick Leitzke
2004 and 2005 were big years for music. Both years saw the release of any number of albums that I return to over and over again. I try not to let my musical tastes be defined by a few albums or a few bands, but it’s hard …

Vibrations In The Air: Summer Mixtape 2010
Written by Nick Leitzke
With one more month of unbearable humidity ahead of us and nearly two months of rest and relaxation behind us it is time to look back and reflect. Although truth be told my summer hasn’t borne much rest and relaxation. It was Homer Simpson who said, “When …

One More Listen For Kim, One More Chance
Written by Nick Leitzke
‘Boxer’ may have been the single most overrated album of the Twenty-first century’s first decade, and the National may have been the single most overrated band. I gave up trying to like ‘Boxer’ because it wasn’t going to happen, and I wasn’t going to kid myself. I …

Quasi @ Black Cat
Written by Nick Leitzke
First and foremost, for the band and for those of us who may have heard the wrong thing, I believe the gentleman in the crowd shouted, “We were better last time,” not, “You were better last time.” I will touch on this later, but I wanted to …

State of the Top Music Charts: Who? What? Why? Fuck.
Written by Nick Leitzke
The last time I looked at an up-to-date music chart out of sincere curiosity was in the late 90’s when I still subscribed to Rolling Stone. I was still in high school when I decided I had better things to listen to than the boy band b.s. …

Malcolm McLaren died today at the age of 64. So far (as of 2:57pm on April 8, 2010) there are few details about his death, but initial reports say McLaren was diagnosed with cancer a while ago. While not a blow to the music world or something …

Indie Music: Spring Mix Tape 1010
Written by Nick Leitzke
Illustration by Eric Pfeiffer
Spring. Rebirth. Rejuvenation. Thawing light at the end of an especially frosty tunnel these past few months. The strength of a good mix comes not from including songs you love but from listening to each song and understanding what needs to come next. A …
