By Al Kaufman Usually when an artist’s new album is heralded as “her most mature work to date,” it should be taken as a warning sign. Warning: this album is slow and boring. Blues mama Michelle Malone has just issued her 11th album, Day 2. It is easily her most mature album to date, and […]

Picture Book & Live Review: CounterPoint Music Festival Day 3, Saturday September 29th.

Saturday marked the third and final day of the first ever Counter.Point. It’s my personal opinion that they saved the best for last. Some of my local favorites Cousin Dan and Reptar played early in the day, then Skrillex and Pretty Lights closed the party out with remarkable acts in-between. Cousin Dan never disappoints and […]

  Day two of Counter.Point started a bit rough. With the weather being somewhat hurricane-esq, a few sets were cancelled due to the entire festival needing to be evacuated.  Regardless of the chaotic clouds that were looming over the farm grounds, the amazingly fresh new festival began again around 4:30 with a super fun set […]

Picture Book & Live Review: Animal Collective @ the Tabernacle; September 30, 2012

Up until the release of “Merriweather Post Pavilion,” Animal Collective would seriously weird me out.  Because of their insanely popular “My Girls,” I decided to give them another chance. Suddenly everything changed, maybe I became a little bit more open to their insanely experimental and psychedelic sound, or something else I can’t quite explain, but […]
