What Is This Shit?: Music Critic Profile: Robert Christgau
http://seanishere.blogspot.com/2008/07/music-critic-profile-robert-christgau.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Music Critic Profile: Robert Christgau. Remember that scene in This Is Spinal Tap. Where Marty DeBergi is reading off all of the terrible reviews Spinal Tap have accumulated over the years? And he reads off the review of their album Shark Sandwich. This one's a two-word review: 'Shit sandwich'"? And the band gets all upset and says "Is that real? You can't print that! So why profile him? Well, 'cuz I read Christgau's stuff all the time. Head on over to RobertChristgau.com. Now, ...

What Is This Shit?: August 2010
http://seanishere.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. Album Review: "The Suburbs" by the Arcade Fire. Yeah, eight different covers, but not in a "cool" way. Yes, it's been out for a while. Yes, I was going to review it around the time it came out. Yes, I didn't. We, as a nation, must move on. There are so many things I could write about the new Arcade Fire record. And so many things I could write about the Arcade Fire! A shit, like they had some fucking blood. What the fuck is this? Paul McCartney circa 1970's McCartney. Why aren't...

George Wendt Super Fansite: March 2008
http://stevedraws.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
George Wendt Super Fansite. Monday, March 10, 2008. The Creative Process: Influences 1. The cause of my late night and the subject of several confusing thoughts, Jackson Publick. Let this be a warning to all of you out there; do not listen to The Sound of Young America podcasts before bed. You will not be able to fall asleep; you will only lay awake, looking at the ceiling, and be generally inspired-like. I was listening to an interview between Jesse Thom. The host of said radio show, and Jackson Publick.

George Wendt Super Fansite: Probably a Waste of my time- The Traveling Wilbury's Comic
http://stevedraws.blogspot.com/2008/03/probably-waste-of-my-time-traveling.html
George Wendt Super Fansite. Thursday, March 6, 2008. Probably a Waste of my time- The Traveling Wilbury's Comic. Two weeks ago, my sketch group, Wilhelm. Had an hour long performance at the Student Union. It was a lot of fun and we were received really well. And although I'm sure I can fill a whole update with how our show went, that's what the Wilhelm blog is for! Anyway, prior to our sketches, we decided to do some longform improv to warm the audience up. So myself, Dan Emmons. And here are two little s.

What Is This Shit?: June 2010
http://seanishere.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 22, 2010. Album Review: "The ArchAndroid" by Janelle Monae. MetPOPolis" is more like it! As a concerned citizen, I hope I'm not the first person to notice the curious similarities between Janelle Monae's new hit concept record The ArchAndroid. And Styx's commercial magnum opus, 1983's Kilroy Was Here. Because they are blatant. Well, just THINK about it:. 1) Both take place in the future. 2) Both are about robots. 3) Both feature a song entitled "Cold War". Does not repeat. Like any dece...

Monday, May 16, 2011. Just Fucking Give Me An Album To Review Already. It's all come down to this! So I've decided to start taking requests for album reviews again. Aren't you excited? Oh man I bet you are excited. Whatever the heck you want, man. Gimme an album and I'll review it here. That is the name of the game. What am I doing? I am not doing song reviews or discography reviews or anything like that. I like albums and only want to review albums right now. EPs count because why the heck not. Just fuc...

Saturday, September 11, 2010. Album Review: "Shout It Out" by Hanson. Sorry, ladies. they're taken. Well here's the thing: even if Hanson's newest record was a piece of garbage, what would you do? Get mad about it? Get mad at the Hansons? As if the Hansons owed you anything? Who are you, huh? They're doing just fine. If you have a problem with them, ignore them. Just know that they are probably leading more fulfilling lives than you are, full of music and joy. Who are you? And 2007's The Walk. Waiting Fo...

What Is This Shit?: Album Review: "Urban Hymns" by the Verve
http://seanishere.blogspot.com/2011/02/album-review-urban-hymns-by-verve.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Album Review: "Urban Hymns" by the Verve. For god's sake - Urban Hymns. That is the actual name of the record. Richard Ashcroft is wearing a bucket hat on the cover. This might be the most intensely late-90s alt rock product ever conceived. I have no idea why I am writing about this record. Besides nostalgia, of course. I bought Urban Hymns. The weekend after my 18th birthday alongside Pinkerton. Oasis put out that big fat cocainey mess Be Here Now. And the Verve did Urban Hymns.

What Is This Shit?: Album Review: "The King Of Limbs" by Radiohead
http://seanishere.blogspot.com/2011/02/album-review-king-of-limbs-by-radiohead.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Album Review: "The King Of Limbs" by Radiohead. I like Radiohead. I wrote a thing. About Radiohead once, but that was like three years ago so I would recommend you not click on that link I just took the time to link. I figure maybe I should tell you what I feel about The King Of Limbs. Because if I could single out one thing the internet is sorely lacking, it is opinions about Radiohead. I haven't listened through King Of Limbs. Just to hear it again for review purposes. Was al...
