Madonna’s “Rebel Heart” Digital Pre-Order Review
Rebel Heart came to us in partial digital download form on December 20th after an egregious 13 demos leaked online.

Kick the Robot does a good job of that on their record Music to Fight the Future, while keeping the sound fresh, fun, and original at the same time. This […]
Jeffrey Butzer and Tom Cheshire – The Piano is Firewood: The Music of Tom Waits
A tiny piece of guilt that I live with: One time, when looking for some covers of “Somewhere” from West Side Story, I decided to give Tom Waits’ version a go. After the beautiful swell of instruments in the intro, Tom’s gravelly vocals kicked in, and I burst out laughing because he sounded like Rowlf […]
