Mike Jurkovic Poop 2018

purposely obtuse obfuscation points (christmas letter) 2018 One of the many blessings of this time of year is the chance it gives me to connect with you, my friends, family, and fellow poopers. So save for an exquisite month w/the missus in England and Ireland, (even if were were strolling towards Churchill’s War Room that August morn of the London terrorist act); my book, Blue Fan Whirring being published; swift kicking Faso in the balls, Calling All Poets entering its 20th year as the region’s longest running poetry performance series, and my 3 hour Tuesday night gig at the Jazz…

Michael Hodgkiss Poop 2018

POOP/1979/2018-Michael C. Hodgkiss Every January since 1965 my brother, KEVIN PATRICK(* See Editor’s Note below) and I would exchange lists of our favorite albums of the year. We both had eclectic tastes for teens. He tried to steer me toward MOTOWN records while I dragged him through Anglophile and English blues related groups. After we secured each others lists we would search far and wide to find published lists to see which of us garnered more points in the standings,that being determined by point values which we made up:eg. 20 points for #1, one point for #20/or no listing at…

Andrew Martin Poop 2018

2018….I’ve got music on my teeth….     Buy New or Used via Amazon DJ Koze – Knock Knock – Easily the best and most upbeat record of the year. Koze knows no bounds and moves gracefully between futuristic R & B, hip-hop, techno, and indie guitar musings on an album that ties together the vocal talents of so many varied and talented singers. The album is irrepressible and funny and optimistic in a time of so much global dread and fear. On the standout track ‘Jesus’ Koze asks in a vocoded and pitch-shifted vocal, which normally I would hate, ‘Who’s…

Rich Allen Poop 2018

Favorite Things ~ 2018 ALBUMS     Bandcamp    Rent via iTunes [?] Somni ~ Bloom (Friends of Friends) Bloom is the perfect summer album, reflecting the open road, the ocean breeze, the sand and the surf. Sequenced as a single mix, the music recalls Botany’s Lava Diviner and Night Shift’s Trespasser’s Guide, while bringing something new to the table as well. By choosing sounds associated with happiness (whistling, waves, wind chimes), the artist paints an aural picture to match the cover collage.     Buy New or Used via Amazon    Rent via iTunes [?] Hillsong Worship ~ There Is More (Hillsong) The…

Fix Poop 2018

FIX RAMBLES ABOUT 2018 STUFF MUSIC Here’s my list in no particular order though I often alphabetically group the LP’s because that made sense to me. At times shiny and quirky while other times uncomfortable and buzzy; always satisfying and intriguing. I know what you’re asking, this grouping makes no sense… hey, it’s my list. Amen Dunes – Freedom Kacey Musgraves – Golden Hour Mitski – Be the Cowboy US Girls – In A Poem Unlimited World got you on edge? Feeling anxious, angry, confused and ready to act up? You are not alone and you are right. I may…
