03.31.09REISSUE: The Dukes of Stratosphear are back to trip you out.There was a psychedelic re-awakening of sorts in the late 1980's, due in part to the pervasive cultural trend towards retrospective of the late-1960's "Summer of Love". In the midst of this, there appeared the psych-pop of The Dukes of Stratosphear. The Dukes were a spin-off of the much-loved British pop/punk act XTC, whom many consider the most important British rock act of the 1980's. Though they worked feverishly to cloak themselves in anonymous monikers and lack of fanfare for the release of their first EP, 25 O'Clock, people would eventually come to figure out that ...

01.29.09Thursday Throwback: Heaven 17 – “Penthouse and Pavement”I'm glad people are rediscovering the funky side of 80's electro, even if it's just an accident. I mean, truly there was a load of absolute crap that came out back then; however there remains a select handful of artists who created uniquely identifiable electronic funk music in the 1980's. Among them, I have to account for the accomplishments of Heaven 17. The song "Penthouse and Pavement" remains one of my favorite so-called 'throwbacks' to drop into a set. The dirty nasty funk signatures in the electronic configurations of this track remain unlike any I've heard ...

09.25.08The new Oasis album Dig Out Your Soul is phenomenal | The post in which I treat Loudersoft like it’s TumblrI don't have a lot of time this morning to give it a proper overview, but I can honestly say this: if for many a year it has seemed to you (as it has to me) like Liam and Noel have been on about nothing when calling themselves "geniuses" or "brilliant", their luck has turned (and thankfully, so has ours). Dig Out Your Soul is by far the finest new recording by Oasis in over a decade. I have enjoyed listening to it repeatedly over the last few days & plan to spend time telling you more about ...

02.24.08VIDEO: Chad and Jeremy Give Stirring Acoustic Performance of “Distant Shores” During Folk Alliance 2008.I was sure I needed to get my eyes checked when I read that folk-pop legends Chad & Jeremy would be appearing at the Folk Alliance Conference this year. I was stunned. "THE Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde? Could it be? 'Distant Shores'? 'A Summer Song'? No!" Before the thoughts could be completely formulated, I was told that yes, in fact, they would be attending and I could rest assured I would be surprised. Even 40 years later, it's as if time stood still when you hear them. These guys were so good, it made everyone in ...
