For those of you that don’t watch the Weather Channel you might not know that here in Texas we’ve received the snow storm of the century. In the last 24 hours we’ve had somewhere around 10″ of snow fall. Normally we’re extremely lucky if we get 10″ of snow in a winter let alone all [...]

by Fred. Damn! what a year. We lost Michael Jackson and we gained Girls. The Decemberists put out an LP almost as good as Picaresque, but what with the stiff competition you won’t find it on top 50 lists anywhere. Similarly, considering the new relative logic of the last twelve months, Muse and Mars Volta [...]

10. Loney Dear – Dear John Dear John was the first album I heard this year that made it onto this potential list. It also opened a great year for Sweden and all the amazing acts that are calling it home. Emil Svanangen turns a bit more to his darker and depressed side on this [...]

I’ve told many people that this year is far better than 2008 was for music releases. Maybe it has to do with just getting this blog up and going so I am more aware of releases and new musicians but it’s been a fun ride so far. Below are my contenders for album of the [...]

Mastodon made an appearance on Letterman last night and as much as I don’t ever want to believe Fred, most of the time he’s right, especially when he says that Letterman really doesn’t mean it when he goes over to the musical guest of the night and says “Good job!”, “That was great!” or “It’s [...]

Not to be out done by Green Day, Mastodon or The Decemberists, Korn has announced their plans to release a concept album of their own. Leadman Jonathan Davis says: I have these five symbols that I’ve come up with that I think are the downfall of man. And each symbol is going to have a [...]

Patrick’s post gets us thinking: where would music be today had Kurt Cobain gone into, say, tax accounting instead of music? And where would music be today had he not loaded that gun, and continued recording? I’m probably older than the typical tMiM reader; hopefully my insight will be worth the read. By September 9, [...]

Last night I had my first music dream in a long time, certainly the first one since we launched tMiM. My parents and I were going through some old boxes and I tearfully came upon my collection of old vinyl records. This much of the dream has at least some basis in reality: from about [...]

Back to work, folks. The ever-weekly mardis gras known as New Music Tuesdays is behind us. There wasn’t much to celebrate, but it wasn’t an absolute loss: Mastodon put forth a very solid concept album about … no one is really sure yet. Papa Roach released Metamorphosis. The Decemberists issued a partial retraction of The [...]

March has the potential to be a stellar month of album releases. Here’s a short list of LP’s being releases this month that I will be keeping my eyes on. With new releases coming out some of the band’s MySpace pages are being updated and are inaccessible but check back later. March 3rd U2 – [...]
