AKAI PROFESSIONAL MPK Mini (product 2025)

As a budding music producer. I am new to midi controllers, which are essentially video game controllers for music production software. Having composed a soundtrack for a movie called They’re Coming!, I much prefer a keyboard (all 88 keys!!!) to a small keyboard that utilizes keys for a midget’s hand…

Leadfoot Granny (album, 2025)

A classic rock revival of Joe Cocker and Rush, with hints of Toledo’s neighbors from Detroit White Stripes, Leadfoot Granny’s eponymous debut is a celebration of music people simply sigh about. The production values are fine, but there are some attention grabbing solos that remind my own heart why I long for electric guitars asContinue reading “Leadfoot Granny (album, 2025)”

Waifish (album, ?)

A fellow band called Waifish contacted me on a music review app called MusicBoard about a mysterious album called Milk Take. They apologized for its unprofessional recording technique, but if we’re being honest, the album sounds pretty solid coming out of my Google Pixel 6a phone. Reminiscent of some more chilled psychedelic rock styling ofContinue reading “Waifish (album, ?)”

Miami Vice (movie soundtrack, 2006)

Building on the heroism of post 9/11 efficiency of protocol, Miami Vice might be the greatesr b-film ever stylized about a director who simply refuses to give in to faggots’ demands, well into his 70s now. The film famously opens with an in media res shot synchronized to the downbeat of a Linkin Park andContinue reading “Miami Vice (movie soundtrack, 2006)”

Requiem (album, 1985)

this review was originally intended for MusicBoard Buddhists posit that a way to unlock hidden gems in reality is to find a way to make an expression that has never been stated. A question I have for composers alive before my own current birth is whether the composer Andrew Lloyd Webber was responding to theContinue reading “Requiem (album, 1985)”

A better date in Manhattan’s

Manhattan’s is a gem of uptown culture in Toledo. Ohio; delicate in presentation, with a focus on courtier presentation. I must admit that while I ball at their prices. I come back for an arrogant atmosphere that is impressed with cultural sophistication few labor party members are willing to concede to. Last time I madeContinue reading “A better date in Manhattan’s”

This guy likes seagulls | Beginnings, a chapbook by Robert Burt (poetry, 1985)

A Canadian poet, I discovered this spiritual looking chapbook of poetry at the Goodwill in Bedford, Michigan. The question is who is Robert Burt and why is he so obsessed with seagulls? I’m not sure if I actually enjoy Burt’s more pastiche style, but it is refreshing to read a contemporary poet who likes toContinue reading “This guy likes seagulls | Beginnings, a chapbook by Robert Burt (poetry, 1985)”

Thrift store finds: Daily Stepping Stones by Helen Steiner Rice (book of poetry, 1989)

Presented as more of a series of prayers and devotionals, this slender hardback book of poetry by Helen Steiner Rice, entitled Daily Stepping Stones, is an impressive collection of religious fluff. I say that lovingly, mind you, as fluff is like cotton candy, and while sweet and simplistic in design, can often bring joy andContinue reading “Thrift store finds: Daily Stepping Stones by Helen Steiner Rice (book of poetry, 1989)”
