  2. Album Review: Big Talk’s Debut Album Is a Fun but Forgettable Effort And so Ronnie Vannucci comes crashing into the rock music scene, proving his place as a solo artist and talented musician.  The Killers’ drummer and Jason-Lee-lookalike releases the self-titled, debut album from his solo group, Big Talk, comprised of Vannucci...
  3. Album Review: The Albertans, “New Age” The Albertans released their second full-length album, New Age, yesterday, and through my five back-to-back-to-back listens, I grooved and nodded and thought that these must be Sufjan Stevens‘ poppy, edgy siblings.   This Canadian quintet, formed by a fateful convening...

  2. An Interview with the Enlightened Youth of Dominant Legs In the wake of their etherial set at UCLA, I got to catch up with Dominant Legs in a particularly collegiate courtyard outside of UCLA’s Kerckhoff Grand Salon.  They were a curious pair to see.  Ryan Lynch, the guitarist, is...
