It doesn’t take much time to elapse on the calendar for me to start putting together lists of the best television of the year in my head, and apparently I’m not the only one. So I now feel compelled to unspool from my brain a preliminary list of the best of 2014. There are plenty of shows...

Mikey Wax’s eponymous sixth CD (by my estimate, from Wikipedia and mikeywax.com ) is the work of a seasoned writer/vocalist/keyboardist, issuing a dozen perfectly crafted songs – both musically and lyrically – embellished by top notch production from Scott Cash and Ed Cash.  With all the music invading my P.O. box this particular disc has remained in the players at...

Music and love are not so different from one another, both invoking feelings of passion when experiencing either. The passion in the eyes of Jesse Lacey, the guitarist for Brand New, while he’s shredding in...

The 010 isn't just your standard copy of a traditional design, one of the primary ways this guitar sets itself apart is the material that makes up the body. Called Arium, this Aristides-designed material increases the resonance and sustain of the instrument. Unlike traditional instruments made from a block of wood, the 010 has an inner coat, outer coat,...

Drenched in the reverb of guitarist Dave Esposito, the classic "Mr Moto" gets the whammy bar and lots of love and care opening up this dynamic and authentic perspective on instrumental surf rock. The two minute and fifty-two second rendition of the Belairs classic - which originally clocked in at 2:09 on Surfside records - is splashier, echoey-er (is...

Each week, I check out VH1′s Top 20 countdown, and then I rearrange the songs based on my estimation of their quality. The following list is the 5/31/14 release.
