Dodie – Hot Mess (RSD Vinyl)

Released - 2022.09.30Vinyl - 2023.04.22 I am not real sure why Dodie put out another EP, Hot Mess, as a follow up to her first album Build a Problem. Following her online suggests that she writes well, a lot of music, feels like there would be plenty for a while album. I mean, yeah, there is some of it that's kind of weird and a bit banal, but that didn't seem like it held back her album. But here we are, with a fresh, 4 track EP. I also want to take a moment to talk about this particular release,…

Wolf Alice – Blue Weekend

Released - 2021.06.04 Though Wolf Alice doesn't really sound a lot like CHVRCHES, I had enough people in the CHVRCHES fandom channels suggest them as a good group, so I opted to go ahead and give this group a try with their (as of this time), latest album, Blue Weekend. Released in 2021, this is the group's third full album. They have a sound that reminds me quite a bit of groups like Metric and Garbage. As mentioned before, the sound isn't really the same as CHVRCHES, but it's sort of similar, so I can definitely see the cross appeal.…

Dodie – Build a Problem

Released - 2021.05.07 I am not sure what first brought me to Dodie's music, I know a lot of her fans came from her previous life as a regular YouTube Vlogger. I can say it was quite a bit before the release of Build a Problem. This is her first Studio Album, though she has released 3 previous EP albums, though the third one, Human, has most of her best known tracks, with Monster probably being her most well known. She also has a pretty large amount of additional "unreleased" tracks on YouTube and other channels. This little bit of…

Paramore – This is Why

Released - 2023.02.10 Paramore's 6th album, This is Why is certainly a testament to the chaos and craziness that has enveloped society in the past few years. With 6 years since the previous album, there has certainly been a lot going on and it shines brightly through in the themes of a lot pf tracks on this album. It opens with the title track, which sort of sums up the overall feel of what is about to be presented, This is Why (I don't leave the house). With lyrics suggesting that the opinions of people in the world have gone…

Review – Transformers – G1 – Rodimus Prime

I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before and chances are you already know, but a while back, Hasbro re-released several of the old G1 toys in commemorative packaging with, unfortunately, commemorative pricing. They ran 30 to 40 dollars each and were exclusive to Toys R Us. A few people bought it, but most didn’t. They made it to clearance and the occasionally discount clearinghouse store. That’s why I picked up Rodimus, sort of. Unlike Perceptor or the Incecticons, I wasn’t interested in him at 40 dollars. But for 8 bucks, I figure, how can one go wrong. Well, it’s possible you…
