I’ll be honest that I wasn’t expecting an album to drop from Odesza, let alone a collab. So, this was a wonderful surprise that I was happy to indulge in. Prior to this album dropping, I didn’t know who Yellow House was. I was quite delighted to find a new artist whom I can support. …
After patiently waiting for four and a half months, I finally received my beloved Rega Osiris back from getting warranty work done. And yes, it sounds excellent now… just as wonderful as I remember when I first took it out of its box. But, let’s take a step back first. I’ll be the first to …

It’s been far too long since I’ve listened to Jack Johnson. Well, for myself at least. His music is everywhere for my kids. As such, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and want something else at the end of the night. But here we are. My wife purchased his latest album for my birthday and thus …

It’s been a long time coming, but after 3 years of cancellations due you-know-what, we have finally arrived. If I had to describe LSAF compared to other (bigger) shows, it perfectly fills the gap between small meetups and its larger brethren. At the same time, LSAF continues to be the most organized unorganized show I’ve …
Another week, another record to drink tasty beverages to. Or at least that’s what my wife would probably accuse me of. Today, I want to take a step back and listen to one of the greatest folk/rock albums to be put to vinyl – in my humble opinion of course. I’m actually a bit surprised …
I haven’t mentioned it much, but I’ve been fighting my Osiris in the last few weeks. Yes, it’s still a tremendous amplifier and will continue to be my solid state reference. That said, it had developed a 180hz hum (via the speakers) that I haven’t been able to resolve regardless of internet suggested solutions. I …
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t giddy when I heard about Abraham’s first full length album. I was introduced to him by way of Leon Bridges – another well loved artist in my household. That said, Abraham has slowly climbed the ranks as my top played due to his voice and how …
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve talked about Audial and their D/A Converters. In fact, I’d say this review is long overdue. I had so quickly accepted the Audial S5 as my new reference that the notion of writing something about it quickly vanished as I turned my gaze elsewhere. As mentioned before, the …
This may be a bit late, but it’s time to talk about the 2022 Beer Advent Calendar. In previous posts, I talked about the yearly tradition my wife started of creating a custom advent calendar of beers I’d never tried before. In short though, she does her best to (painstakingly) pick twenty five new tasty beverages that …
On the turntable for review this week is an album I used to listen to religiously – James Blake’s Overgrown. I know his first album garnered a lot of attention, but I am a hardcore believer that Overgrown is his best, by far. Why, you may ask? Well you just had to, didn’t you. I …
