Album Review: Live Current Volume 6 January 1, 2010 It's hard to believe that it's almost been six years now of recording some of our favorite bands and songwriters here in The Current studios.

Album Review: Them Crooked Vultures November 16, 2009 My half-witted and not-terribly-insightful observation of this CD is that it is EXACTLY what you think it will sound like, and that my friend is a really good thing.
Album Review: Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young October 30, 2009 While the Strokes continue their hiatus, the band's singer, Julian Casablancas is the last (but not least) Stroke to have a side project.

Album Review: Tegan and Sara - Sainthood October 27, 2009 With each new record, single, or collaboration in pop culture, I find myself hoping Teegan and Sara gain wider acceptance and success. With their new album, "Sainthood," have they taken a step in that direction?
Album Review: The Swell Season - Strict Joy October 23, 2009 "Strict Joy" is, without a doubt, as grippingly gorgeous a record as anything we've come to expect Glen Hansard to be associated with over the years.

Album Review: The Flaming Lips - Embryonic October 13, 2009 When I expected them to sell out, they made "Embryonic," possibly the most challenging work they've delivered their current fan base at any given time in the band's career. I should have known better. With the Lips, it's best to expect nothing beyond something unexpected.
Album Review: Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More October 2, 2009 Mumford and Sons new album, "Sigh No More," as catchy as H1N1, is inspired by folk and bluegrass.
