what’s up, y’all? so this group, Two Door Cinema Club, is pretty much all i’ve been listening to lately. first heard them about a month ago when they opened up for Phoenix at the Tabernacle. they were fun and their music was great, but the most entertaining part of their show was watching their one [...]

Yes!  In yo face KOL!! In. Yo. Face!! Now, that I’ve gotten that off my chest… Third Eye Blind @ Variety Playhouse The Good: Great Show! 3eb was in Atlanta last Thursday (April 1st), and it was a great show!  They played so many great songs.  I’d say it was a pretty even spread with [...]

First up, I want to encourage everyone to sign our petition to hear “The Background” tomorrow at the 3eb concert!  It’s conveniently located on the left column, and you just have to fill out a tiny bit of info.  Boom!  You’re done.  It’s my favorite 3eb song, and is actually tied with “The Freshman” for [...]

Hey, Effers, it’s been a while.  Hope everyone is doing well.  I haven’t posted in a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been listening to music.  Like I’ve told you before, the music is always on in my world. I’m sure most of you have a favorite shirt, right?  In fact, you’ve [...]

Of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe.  That is the definition of sublime. But is Sublime truly worthy of its verbiage? Groups like Sublime and Cake defined my early college beginnings with songs like “Date Rape” and “April 29, 1992”. Producing such aggressive and harsh lyrics, you’d believe I [...]

Dear Kings of Leon: As I watched the 2010 Grammy Awards a few weeks ago, I realized something: you have gone from being an indie rock band with a southern flavor to a straight up pop-rock band.  And of course, that isn’t a bad thing.   If anything, it’s encouraging during an age of R&B and [...]

Hey, Effers, and welcome back to the Triple M at its regular time!  I bet you thought/were hoping that I was finished with my Best of the Decade musings.   Well, not quite, I’m afraid.  See, the past ten years have been rather remarkable ones, musically speaking.  Say what you will about the decade itself; a [...]

10) PJ Harvey – Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000) Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, Polly Jean Harvey’s “New York” album, is the most accessible record in her extraordinary catalog.  In comparison to the melancholic and frenzied moods of her prior work, Stories could almost be considered light-hearted.  It [...]

20) The Streets – A Grand Don’t Come for Free (2004) On the surface, A Grand Don’t Come for Free is the story of a thousand British pounds – that’s even more in dollars, Effers – that go missing from the protagonist’s house without explanation.  But that’s only part of the story; Mike Skinner does [...]

30) MGMT – Oracular Spectacular (2008) Oracular Spectacular stands as definitive proof that “serious” music can also be fun.  A mish-mash of 80’s synthpop, 70’s disco, and a 60’s hippie mindset, this was one of the decade’s most exciting records.  Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser were able to mine their varied influences and come out [...]
