"Tim Kasher, singer and eccentric frontman of Cursive, wrote two masterpieces in the course of two years: The Ugly Organ and The Good Life’s Black Out.

"If You Buy this expecting a "rock album" or a doors album you may well be disappointed. There are bits of Doors music interspersed throughout Jim Morrison's poetry, which a lot of snooty poets will turn their noses up at. But whatever the quality of his poems, the result of that mix cre..."  [+]  Reply

"A gorgeous record full of lovely heartbreaking songs. You just simply cannot fail to be moved by this album. This is a record full of love, hope, regret and sadness. Be at peace with yourself, and, the coast no man can tell, are two of the most achingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. Extremel..."  [+]  Reply

"Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre" is one of my favorite pieces of music because it musically represents death so incredibly well. You listen to it, and it just sounds like death, it sounds like the music of the dead. Every sound in that piece sounds like it’s coming from a ghost itself. Not si..."  [+]  Reply
