Hello, my name is Jericho, and I’m simply a guy who is obsessed with films and music. I’m not a critic in the traditional sense, meaning I have absolutely no credentials in this area beyond my passion for writing and love of the arts. I have a B.A. in English, and have written various short stories as well as a novella that I will hopefully be putting out soon. I started this blog/site simply as an outlet for my opinions, as well as to hopefully create an online community of fellow music and movie obsessives. The standard rating system (1 out of 4 stars for movies, 1 out of 10 for music), may seem somewhat irrelevant since the reviews are essentially opinion-based, but it’s just my way of expressing how I feel about the subject at the current time. I welcome comments, opinions, disagreements, really anything that gets people talking about this stuff. Feel free to message me with bands or movies to check out, or even suggestions about what I should get into. Thanks and enjoy!
-MUSIC PICK OF THE WEEK
BOOKS ON TAPE
Memory/Carnival Lights 7’’
Adam Dishart beautifully captures that feeling between disenchantment and hopefulness on his latest 7’’ Memory/Carnival Lights. Working under the solo moniker Books on Tape, the San Francisco musician has shed the moody post-punk textures of his disbanded band The Catholic Comb in favor of 80’s-era darkwave pop, and delivers two stunning songs that effectively capture the alienation and wistfulness of youth.
