REVIEW: JUICEBOXXX – HEARTLAND 99 (2015)
The first time I ever saw Juiceboxxx was at the now defunct Darling Hall in Milwaukee in 2006 (it was close to Conejito’s if you know where that is). His live performance was an ecstatic mix of in your face MC brashness and crowd manipulation not far removed from Dan Deacon performances (here is a

REVIEW: THIRD EYE BLIND – DOPAMINE (2015)
After years of prolonged and unfulfilled anticipation, Third Eye Blind finally releases their new album, Dopamine. It’s the San Francisco band’s first album since 2009’s Ursa Major, and only their fifth studio album since the band’s formation in the mid-1990s. Over the ye
