The Mysterines ~ I WIN EVERY TIME [2⊘2⊘]

There is something in the human spirit that enjoys a good car wreck. Notably, if it is not anyone we know … okay, anyone we directly care about … maybe. The symbolic cover shot for this feature, and its represented song, remind me of something my first wife (meh) once told me. At the end of our ever-so rocky relationship, she informed me that of all the many arguments we had shared, of all the times we had blustered and flustered … Continue reading The Mysterines ~ I WIN EVERY TIME [2⊘2⊘]

Lush ~ Desire Lines [1994]

Perhaps unsurprisingly, when released in 1994, Lush’s album Split was not met with widespread acclaim. “With songs about death, infidelity, and neglect, Split was a dark, introspective album that jarred with the beginning of the Britpop party.” But despite its unceremonious beginnings, the album is considered by many to be thematic of the 90s unsteady gait and uneven footing in direct juxtaposition to 80s overt … Continue reading Lush ~ Desire Lines [1994]
