Album Review: High Violet by The National
Written by Nick Leitzke
Three years ago the National released an album called ‘Boxer.’ Many people hailed ‘Boxer’ as 2007’s album of the year. I was not included in this group of people. For a long time, long after 2007 ended and the shit-storm that was 2008 began for me, I …

Love Songs For Audrey: Cheers To New Beginnings!
Written by Nick Leitzke

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

Eternal Hope with Eternal Summers
Written by Nick Leitzke
A bold notion that I rejected many years ago is the assertion that music can change the world. While I consider myself progressive and tolerant, yearning for change in our current system and jubilant at the small victories we garner along the way, I don’t believe that …

“This Article Will Change Your Life, I Swear”: Nick’s Musical Affliction
Written by Nick Leitzke

Get Physical’s Heidi: Two Decks and a Bouncing, Blonde Fro
Written by George Karmokolias
I remember the last time that Heidi (Get Physical, Berlin) came to town, there was quite a bit of hype going around. Most people were really psyched. All the people who believe in pussy-power (I’m one of those people by the way) were psyched to have a …

Album Review: Besnard Lakes – The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night
Written by Nick Leitzke
On March 9 the Besnard Lakes release their third album, ‘The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night.’ A benefit of pre-ordering albums is the free digital download, and I have been listening to ‘The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night’ so much that I can’t remember when …
