3 Minute Revelations: Let's All March Back Into The Sea by The Liptonians

Combining my joy of production with my false sense of smug superiority in telling you what you should like* -- and since I've clearly failed at keeping up at full album write ups (the last one being over six months ago... yipes) -- here is another instalment of 3 Minute Revelations**

Slowly but surely, catching up on on 2011 albums. At this rate I'll be done... by this time next year! It took a few listens, but this one has grown into one of my favourite albums of the year, so far.

Slowly but surely, catching up on on 2011 albums. At this rate I'll be done... by this time next year! Anyway, another favourite and, spoiler alert: a good chance of it being on my personal "best of" the year.

Combining my joy of production with my false sense of smug superiority in telling you what you should like* -- and since I've clearly failed at keeping up at full album write ups (the last one being over six months ago... yipes) -- here is another instalment of 3 Minute Revelations**

Okay, I'm just a little behind this year, as this is the first 2011 album I want to talk about... five months after its release. Hopefully I'll catch up soon? At any rate...

3 Minute Revelations: Cardiography by David Vertesi

Combining my joy of production with my false sense of smug superiority in telling you what you should like* -- and since I've clearly failed at keeping up at full album write ups (the last one being over six months ago... yipes) -- here is another instalment of 3 Minute Revelations**

This will probably be my last 2010 album before I start in on this year, and it's another of my favourite albums of last year. Which shouldn't surprise any of the regular readers (all seventeen of you).

3 Minute Revelations: 100 Blows by Henry & The Nightcrawlers

Combining my joy of production with my false sense of smug superiority in telling you what you should like* -- and since I've clearly failed at keeping up at full album write ups (the last one being over six months ago... yipes) -- here is another instalment of 3 Minute Revelations** (which will hopefully come at a better rate than one every two and a half weeks.)

Before I get into 2011, there were a few albums last year that I didn't get a chance to write about, and while I won't do them all, I'll catch up on a couple of my favourites of 2010 before moving on. I don't think any regular readers will be surprised when I say Henry & The Nightcrawlers is one of those favourites.

3 Minute Revelations: Grinderman II by Grinderman

A couple weeks ago I posted the New Music Now features I was doing for Evolution1079. They combined my joy of production with my false sense of smug superiority in telling you what you should like*, and since I've clearly failed at keeping up at full album write ups (the last one being six months ago... yipes) I figured I would keep doing these (but with a more relevant name).
There were a few albums last year that I didn't get a chance to write about, and while I won't do them all, I'll catch up on a couple of my favourites of 2010 before moving on to this year.
So what better way to start out than with one of my favourite musicians, Nick Cave.
Enjoy the inaugural edition of 3 Minute Revelations**.

New Music Now: Eureka by Mother Mother

Regular readers (all sixteen of you) may know I am currently schooling at BCIT, in the Radio Broadcast program. In our second, and final, year we take over the station Evolution1079 and are given various jobs. For the next little while, I am doing New Music Now; a three minute feature about... well, I think it's pretty self explanatory. I will be doing six of then in the next few weeks and I figured I would share them with you here because why not.

All right. So. The thing is, I originally did six over a three week span, and this is the last of them. But I really liked doing them; it combined my love of production with my love of rambling about music and telling you what you should like. So the question is... should I continue to do these?
They would be on my own time and specifically for the blog, so I'd probably also need a new name, as New Music Now is from Evolution. Plus I'm sure I could think of something better. So far, the leading suggestion is "3 Minute Revelations Colon Subtitle Kirk Takes 3 Minutes Of Your Time and Awesomes It Up"
Thoughts?
