2011 Band Of The Year: Mixtapes

By Eric on December 24, 2011

This is the first year that I’ve named a band of the year. If you’ve paid any attention at all to what I’ve posted on Twitter, Instagram, or even here, it should be a no brainer. So officially, Can You See the Sunset from the Southside’s band of the year for 2011 is none other [...]

By Eric on December 23, 2011

Here it is, my favorite albums of 2011. If you missed Part One, you’d better go back and check that out as well. With the holiday right around the corner and some household emergencies, I didn’t quite feel like writing much about these albums even though they are all great. Ok. Check the list and [...]

Listmania: Favorite Albums of 2011 (50-26)

By Eric on December 20, 2011

Let me just preface all of this by saying how much I hate making these lists. There’s no good way to do it. Everything on this list is great and the placements are general at best. Although I’ve numbered the list, there is zero science behind it. Next year I might just make it alphabetical. [...]

6 Great Albums From 2010 That I Missed Last Year

By Eric on December 19, 2011

All these albums would have been on my best of 2010 list (or at least damn close) had I heard them all earlier. Robyn – Body Talk I think it was late December of 2010 when I became infatuated with Robyn’s infectious dance-pop. I haven’t been able to shake it since. The Arrivals – Volatile [...]

There’s More Where This Came From

By Eric on December 16, 2011

So how the heck have you been? Thanks for sticking around. I’ll have a the usual “listy” year end sorta posts up over the next few days, so there’s that. That’s about it. Here’s to 2012! I can’t fucking wait for a new year to begin after the way this one has ended. If you’ve [...]

What are you doing Friday?

By Eric on October 5, 2011

I know that a good majority of the “local” people that read this blog will be going to Riot Fest this Friday, but if (by chance) you aren’t going, you should come out to Batavia, IL since I’m playing a free show and sharing the bill with Dustin Darnold. That’s right, I said FREE show. [...]

The Summer’s Almost Over

By Eric on September 16, 2011

Hi there. It’s been awhile. Yeah, I’ve been slacking on keeping this blog current and I’m pretty OK with that. Still, moving forward, updates should be considerably more frequent. You might (hopefully) notice the new layout but if you don’t you’ve either never been here before or you might need to get your eyes checked. [...]
