THIS REVIEW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Cecily Renns (2 of 5) WANT ME TO REVIEW AN ALBUM, DISCOGRAPHY OR GAME? CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE!   THE ALBUM     Ok, FEMINOLOGY is a pretty simple album, in the best way. It's a pop punk record that uses a lot of acoustic guitars, something you don't hear very often but it's always nice to come across. The epic  Dollar Store , comprised of four scattered tracks, is the obvious highlight of this album. The first one, Intro , is a beautiful acapella of the following track's chorus with a circus music theme that eventually comes back in the album's last track, the Outro . While listening to the main piece, I thought to myself "wow, this sounds a lot like Jeff Rosenstock", and then I saw friend of the show  merton  do this same comparison in his review.  I once again can't not mention this review's sponsor, my good friend Cecily, whose love of Jeff Rosenstock made her love for this album not surprising at all. As I wa...

  THIS LIST IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY : Taiga Lain WANT ME TO REVIEW AN ALBUM, DISCOGRAPHY OR GAME? CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE!   THE ARTIST   Taiga Lain is one of those artists whose name is also the band's name. He's a guy - a multi-instrumentalist and arranger - but also a rotating cast of instrumentalists and singers. Taiga has a record of rearranging 20th century japanese folk music and nursery rhymes, with influences ranging from Haruomi Hosono to Ichiko Aoba. Their discography isn't big as of yet, but their releases are certainly interesting and warrant some listens if you haven't done so yet. Since most of Taiga's music are rearrangements of popular nursery rhymes, I'll also listen to other renditions and list those here in case you want to check them out!   I:  赤い靴 (SINGLE #1)     Renditions listened :  C hiemi Hori, 1992 : The most melancholic, only vocals and a solemn acoustic guitar.

'doraemon' by patricia taxxon

THIS REVIEW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Cecily Renns (1 of 5) WANT ME TO REVIEW AN ALBUM, DISCOGRAPHY OR GAME? CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE!   THE ALBUM     You know, this has been a long time coming. I had this album on my list for years and just never had enough will to sit down and listen to it. I listened to like, half of 'Homeward Demon' several times though. I knew of Taxxon's production skills because of that. If there's something I love and will always admire an artist for is cleanliness. This album, above anything else, sounds pretty clean. I think this album is good, but not memorable. A couple songs and some specific moments are , but not the whole thing. The real highlight here is the entirety of Homeward Demon , and the "I hit 'em with the-"  bit which was what played in my head during all these years where I hadn't listened to anything else by Patricia. Lyrically, it's interesting but not particularly impressive. " Like a homeward demon bi...
