Hey everybody! This is my first time posting in almost three months, and in an effort to get things moving in a more efficient manner for me, I am debuting the new record review posts I will be doing. Really not much is changing, the style will be the same but instead of the round-up…

Summer Waxing
Now that we’ve resumed some sort of regularity again on here, it’s time for another record round up covering some of my summer purchases. While I have stopped, for the most part, buying records on line this year, it’s nice that I can still rely on a local store, namely the combined forces of Earwiggle…
New Records, Future Times & Victor Rosado Interview
Just a quick round up of some new releases I’ve been feeling in the past couple of months and a nice interview with Victor Rosado… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Um3ahDkKHc Theo Parrish’s remix of About Group’s You’re No Good is his trademark deeply layered grimey house cut, with heavy bass, jazz keys, and vocal samples shimmering in and out….
Noleian Reusse, Pittsburgh Track Authority, TM Eye, and More…
We’ve been very busy recently here in Pittsburgh! My PTA partners Adam Ratana, Preslav Lefterov, and I, as well as friend Erin Holland, have joined forces on another project we call In The Machine Age, a business through which we run record labels. We have a Soundcloud page as well as a Twitter page so…
A few things I’ve been listening to…
I’ve been slack on posting about records this year for the very simple reason that I haven’t been buying much. It’s not because there isn’t much good shit out there (I still don’t have either Versalife 12s arrgghhh), I’ve just been channeling my funds into other things, some that are relevant to music, some less…
Guest Mix: Nice Rec – Boogieman Vol. 3
Nice Rec is a name you should be familiar with by now strictly based on the strength of the first two installments of his Boogieman mix series that have been posted here, each of which contains so many hot joints that it is kind of ridiculous. But now he is now blowing shit up on…
Spring ’11 New Records Pt. 2
So this is part two, just trying to keep the focus on a couple records per post! Here’s some ill Detroit, Chicago, and NYC records I’ve picked up recently…. Any time Reggie Dokes releases a new record, it’s a good thing! When he is starting a new label, you know it means he’s gonna bring…
Spring ’11 New Records Pt. 1
So yeah. I’ve been slacking yet again on new record posts, and it has really backed up enough that I’m not even gonna try to do them all in one go. I imagine this will take two or three posts, so bear with me. Pictured above is Chancho Via Circuito at his debut Pittsburgh appearance…
March-April 2011 Annotated Top 20
There’s been so much great music coming out lately and I haven’t written about records in a long time so I decided to do a Top 20 chart for March and April with some commentary on each one. Listed in alphabetical order because I couldn’t really rank them and besides, I don’t want anybody to…
Craig List
Wow, the last post I delivered certainly received a lot of feedback. Much appreciated to all those who replied and gave their two-cents worth. If I had the wherewitall and the time, I’d love to promote a Sunday afternoon gig that would be family-friendly – preferably outdoors in good weather, with a BBQ and a…
