S.o.S’13
We’ve already established Kurt Vile is a genius. But he’s really out-done himself with his 2013 effort, Wakin’ on a Pretty Daze. The opening track, ‘Wakin’ On A Pretty Day’, is my swimming pool this summer. The same irresistible warm air, that lulls you into complete relaxation while also drying the water you wear and tracked from the […]

Kids Swell
April 30, 2013
The following two lines are quotes about specific Wavves songs that I enjoyed while doing ‘homework’ before attending the all-ages show at Nashville’s Mercy Lounge on 4/16. The third point is a song from their 2013 album Afraid of Heights, ft. a cresting Nathan Williams and Co. I. “Mickey Mouse” cops from “Da Doo Ron Ron” and […]

crazy nasty hello
March 24, 2013
So what happened in March? Honestly, I’m still recovering from the ‘bangover’ that was Freakin’ Weekend IV (FWIV), the 4th Annual concert party and three-day festival in Nashville presented by Nashville’s Dead. I posted up Friday and Saturday night at Exit/In and proceeded wreck my shoes, bruise my ribs, and shove an ice-pick down my ear canal. All for […]

Michigan Glazed
February 26, 2013
It’s been a little over three months since relocating to Nashville, but I wanted to give one more shout to the Mitten, which produced notable musicians Kid Rock, Eminem, Madonna, Bob Seger, Jack White, and Sufjan Stevens. But more than all of these ‘ganders (yes, even Seger), no one had it together like J Dilla. […]

Top 5 Albums of 2012
January 26, 2013
The first time I ranked a Top Five albums from a single year was back in 2009. I took a year off in 2010, and then OMO began the annual log. Four artists from my ’09 list produced albums this year and three returned to claim the top spots again…sorry Coexist. Also, though they didn’t […]

Play Wet Hair!
December 16, 2012
On Wednesday, November 21, OMO watched Japandroids at Nashville’s Exit/In. Here are the takeaways. 1. Brian King and David Prowse are geniuses. Just two guys serving up rock, as loud as they possibly can. The songs are mayhem, throwing caution to the wind to enjoy the moment, and their full sound has that same reckless […]

In the D for DD
November 27, 2012
On Thursday, November 8, at the Magic Stick in Royal Oak, OMO watched Dan Deacon. Here are the takeaways. 1. Dan Deacon is a Genius. Dan Deacon’s style of electronic music got me the first time I heard the woodpecker’s call that ignites Spiderman of the Rings, and was followed by so many other of […]

Get a Knife from the Kitchen
October 23, 2012
I’ve admitted time and again that Hanson’s Middle of Nowhere was the first CD I ever purchased. I think it’s funny now and I’ll still say there was more than MMMbop on that record. But because that’s my youth talking, I never really thought I would like another band that consisted of members younger than […]
