I like listening to music, and I like writing about music. It just so happens that I get sent LOTS of music by publicists and bands in hopes of getting a review. I also enjoy reading reviews written by people I respect and admire. So, I usually have a deep backlog of albums that deserve my attention. With this monthly series, I’ll tell you about the artists that jumped out of my headphones and grabbed my attention.

We’ve got a short month this time around, as the folks at Bearded Gentlemen Music requested the normal installment of this column for a guest installment of The Showcase. So, go check that out!

I just didn’t want to leave this space blank for the month because consistency matters.

Other Stuff I Enjoyed Listening to This Month
