Mondays @ 9 pm EST. Sipping beverages, flipping pages, and selecting from my physical collection. Forever & ever. THE BEVERAGE Night Shift Brewing - Santilli Despite the inauspicious frequency of my posts, I have in fact been drinking delicious IPAs all year. This little cutie is a classic local favorite - Night Shift Brewing's slammable... Continue Reading →
Jachary // Loops of Life
A slappin' funk-walk through all your latest feels. Is this indie? Funky synth-soul? How about, fuck genres. If we want to do a useless comparison, I'd say Jachary has moments that sound like Whitney, and others that sound like Taylor McFerrin. So obviously I had to review this no matter what it is. Let's start... Continue Reading →
Lazy Monthly // October 2019
October was so scary, it took me a whole week before I could look back on it. I'm being haunted by the very real ghost of my Masters' research. Will I finish in the one remaining month I have? Or even spookier - will I be able to keep listening and blogging to the extent... Continue Reading →
Thunder Body // Solstice
Wholesome, honey-sweet reggae. Solstice came out on October 13, 2017, and I think I'll be reminded of it every fall forever. Fall is a sentimental season, a birthday season, and a get-ready-for-fucking-winter-again season for me. It's always nostalgic and intense somehow. This album brings me a sense that life will sort out soon, and helps... Continue Reading →
Songs from a Photo Platform
Follow @lazy.plays and @dansrecs and @dailyalternativemusic on Instagram! Before I started this site in April, I decided to test the blogging waters with an Instagram account. Not exactly the first place you'd go looking for new music. But I already knew that pretty much all the bands and artists share their work on there, and... Continue Reading →
Lazy Monthly // September 2019
Septaugber. Months that chug at lightning speed (like a train, not like beer ok) through falling New England leaves. Are these even separate months? I want to talk to an official. And I hope they say no, because September was a fantastic month for me musically, and I hope October rides that train all the... Continue Reading →
Discovering JQBX and the Lanky Bastards
This is a story about stumbling upon an online radio spaceship helmed by everyone. In case you hate reading, and that headline's enough for you, climb aboard at JQBX.fm. I recently joined Reddit to scrounge for new music & news I might not hear elsewhere. Just trying to cast a wide web on the wide... Continue Reading →
Chrome Sparks // Goddess
Tripping through a pristine forest drenched in silver. Chrome Sparks put on one of the most creative live performances I've seen. And they did it as an opener. They kicked things off for the M Machine and the Glitch Mob at the House of Blues Boston on October 29, 2014. I don't remember all the... Continue Reading →
Lazy Monthly // August 2019
Remember HAKAS? Well, this summer sure did kick my ass. Even though adulting the sunny days away has made me feel like a dog-hair-dust-bunny in the corner of the wood floor of life, fall is the best time to get shit done. You might notice I missed a few months of Lazy Monthly - well... Continue Reading →
the Frightnrs // the Frightnrs
Steady rocking reggae rhythms made to delight. The Frightnrs are a Queens, NY rocksteady powerhouse that've had a serious influence on the modern ska/rocksteady/reggae scene. Just as ska had waves of revival, I have my fingers tightly crossed at the prospect of a rocksteady revival, and it seems to be happening. Slowly, as rocksteady would... Continue Reading →
