In The Beatles’ 7th studio album Revolver, they calibrated the balance of the experimental and the accessible. It's flavored with both Eastern palettes (Harrison’s jumpy, Indian influenced “Love You To”, as well as “Tomorrow Never Knows”) and Western palettes (Motown sounding “Got to Get You Into My Life”, and Beach Boys’ inspired “Here There and Everywhere”). That is to say, the band continues to utilize their unparalleled ... read more

Julian's first album with a group other than the Strokes is named Tyranny, a clear transition into darker themes. This album is ambitious in terms of subject matter + sonic experimentation. The overarching theme is the corrupting force of greed on a personal level and societal level. To encapsulate, the Voidz opt for a metallic, industrial feel which complements the lyrical content. It comments on the decadence of morality in a world where capital is the chief incentive - consistently ... read more
This album is probably the most pleasant surprise I've stumbled upon in the past year. I had previously only known "What I've Done" and "Bleed it Out", the two smash hits off this album. I religiously circulated these two as part of my pre-game hype playlists on my metallic blue iPod nano as a 7-year-old flag football quarterback lol. Me and many other elementary school boys in 2007 were overtaken by the majesty of "What I've Done" as the closing ... read more
In May 1968: the Beatles were fresh off the plane from their stay in the Maharishi’s ashram in India. John began seeing a quirky artist named Yoko Ono. George was deep in Hinduism and spiritual texts. This is the context of the scene in ‘68 that molded the sessions of the sporadic, often tense, discordant, wacky, and individualistic recording of the Beatles self-titled release (“The White Album”). The post-Sgt. Peppers Beatles were exploring avant-garde styles. They grew ... read more
OK Computer by Radiohead is a tectonic shift in music. It’s truly singular in terms of style, liberating Radiohead from any constraints to genre. It takes elements from classic rock and electronic music, but the resulting concoction is unique. At times they can sound like a futuristic Beatles (on “Karma Police”), and other times like a moody Nirvana track (on “Climbing up the Walls). The album is forever fresh because of both the intricacies in the crisp production and ... read more
“Is This It” is a new take on rock to soundtrack the new millennium. Julian Casablancas and Co. nonchalantly present an organic, effortlessly cool product that marks the gear shift away from 90s grunge. While the Strokes throwback aesthetics of leather jackets and sunglasses exhibit their punk influences (The Ramones, The Stooges, and Television), their sonic output is a singular energy forged out of lower east side manhattan nights: coarse garage-y guitar, distorted vocals, with ... read more

Music is the portal into the 4th dimension… I love all genres, but have a special affinity for rock/alternative with guitar work. Grew up listening to rap/hip-hop with jazz influences around the house as well.
