10/10 Jars of Clay’s self-titled album is one of the most beloved, hyped debut’s of the last twenty years. As good as it is, the band have probably released a couple of albums in the last two decades that are better. That doesn’t diminish the magic of Jars of Clay, though. In lieu of writingContinue reading “Jars of Clay — Jars of Clay”

The Nicsperiment Changes Its Song. Also, The Nicsperiment Hates the expression, "Changes Its Song."
I have run out of room. My CD shelf is crammed far past overloaded, and my car looks like an FYE bargain bin. I literally have nowhere left to put new, physical copies of music. This means, if I am going to continue to purchase music, I have to pretty much disregard that four yearsContinue reading “The Nicsperiment Changes Its Song.

Wednesday Mid-Term Non-Sequitur
The other day, me and my boy were taking a walk down the bayou. We crossed the railroad bridge and noticed a pickup crashed in the bank a little down the way. We walked down to the wreck. The tracks were dry in the mud. My kid says, “Daddy, what are those shiny things?” I look intoContinue reading “Wednesday Mid-Term Non-Sequitur”
James Newton Howard — The Sixth Sense (Original Score)
10/10 I just criticized a James Newton Howard soundtrack album heavily. I may have given the impression that I dislike The Fugitive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) because it does not contain enough music, but the fact is that I dislike it because it does not contain the right music. The Sixth Sense (Original Score) isContinue reading “James Newton Howard — The Sixth Sense (Original Score)”
James Newton Howard — The Fugitive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
5/10 Let me make something clear: the actual score that James Newton Howard composed for the now twenty-year old classic film, The Fugitive, is excellent. I love that film, and I love its music. You won’t find a lot of it on Elektra’s 1993 soundtrack release for the film, though. Portions of this album’s paltryContinue reading “James Newton Howard — The Fugitive (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)”
James Horner — Clear and Present Danger (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
9/10 What is more American than a scowling Harrison Ford, draped in an American flag?Nothing!Clear and Present Danger comes from the top of a very underrated pool of mid-90’s action-adventure films. It includes one of the greatest, most-emulated set-pieces of all time, and here is a moment of it. Now I know what some filmContinue reading “James Horner — Clear and Present Danger (Music from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)”
I’m Having Problems
There are bands whose music for the most part is not my thing, but who somehow put out four or five songs I can’t stop listening to. I just linked to a Civil Wars song a few days ago, but I am locked in some sort of Joy Williams and John Paul White whirlwind rightContinue reading “I’m Having Problems”
