Another month has gone by and Pretzel Logic continues to grow. This month, I celebrated my hundredth post, plus I added a whole new column. This has also been my busiest month so far, with twenty-eight posts in thirty days. Madness, I say! All I can hope is that people find what I write interesting and keep reading.
In terms of album review changes:
-Mastodon’s Crack The Skye is now a 5 pretzel album. As I listened to this album more and more, I realized just how sad and lonely it sounds. In many ways this makes sense, since guitarist Brent Hinds was in a coma for a while before the writing of the album. It’s also drummer Brann Dailor’s tribute to his late sister, Skye, who killed herself in her teens. When listened to within that context, the emotional core of the album becomes all the more powerful.
That’s it for changes. Next month, I’ll be reviewing Bell Orchestre, Bill Callahan, The Church, Conor Oberst, Dan Deacon, Eminem, Green Day, Grizzly Bear, Iggy Pop, Jarvis Cocker, Maximo Park, New York Dolls, Phoenix, Tinted Windows and many, many more. Stay tuned!
