Though the circumstances of why are unfortunate, this week has been an educational one. George Martin is known as "the Fifth Beatle," but his time with that band only counts for a fraction of his 50+ years of work.
If you tunnel deep within layers of irony, internet memes, and ultimate acceptance that the ‘90s can never truly come back you’re bound to find Jawbreaker Reunion. Their music summons the raw energy of Sleater-Kinney, the apathy of Pavement, and the humor and angst of their namesake band.
My most fascinating discovery of the week is Prince Rama. The duo are innovators of the brilliantly named "now age" which reads like an artistic manifesto introduced by way of a Tim and Eric skit.
