Here’s another pretty decent record that I had the pleasure of reviewing for Chart, by a local band to boot. Check it out. Meanwhile, I could be wrong, but I’ve heard that Maqlu, whose latest EP I reviewed a little less kindly recently, has done some remixing work for Raggedy Angry. I think I’d better […]

It was all right, I suppose. A lot more airy and aimless than I expected, but not a bad record. Chart summarized the review on Twitter by calling it a “snooze-fest,” which isn’t exactly right, but it’s also far from wrong.

I capped off a mighty fine weekend by heading down to the Mod Club to catch Tricky performing live. It was a fine show indeed, as this review that Chart was kind enough to publish today will tell you.

I wanted to be a bigger fan of this EP than I ultimately was. But as I mentioned in the review, it’s the second EP in a trilogy, so maybe I’ll prefer the third disc. Dibs on it, Chart!

Speaking of Chart, here’s my review of a rather excellent new album by B.A. Johnston, “Hamilton’s own hilarious overweight song and dance man.” Good times!

This feature, which Chart was kind enough to publish earlier in the week, comes with a bit of a back story. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been working my way through a backlog of Chart content, and this piece was a part of that backlog. It’s been on the table since […]

Tricky just released his ninth album, and it’s great. Truly, the worst thing you can say about it is that there’s just not enough of it. Thanks as always, Chart!

Hot on the heels of my review of a recent Bless EP that Chart posted yesterday comes my first contribution to one of their regular columns. “In Defense Of… is an ongoing CHARTattack column where our contributors stand up for otherwise maligned acts past and present.” Take, for example, my backhanded defense of Sugar Ray. […]

I owe the good people at Chart a fair amount of backlog at the moment, and I’m doing my best to work through it. One of two pieces I sent them this weekend was this review of The Night Before, an EP by a Montreal rapper named Bless. I wanted to like this record more […]

Earlier today, Chart published my review of Barking, the latest from Underworld. It’s been about a month since I mentioned that I’d been given the opportunity to review this record, and I have to admit that it’s only grown on me since.
