If you have no faith in hip hop, then you simply have not heard To Pimp A Butterfly. Kendrick Lamar’s third album is probably not only the best album of 2015, it’s a straight out masterpiece. This is not just a rap album. It features elements of jazz, funk, r&b, and soul. It’s avant-garde. It’s experimental. It flows like a mixtape, and it’s important. Not only is it musically captivating from start to finish, it’s also emotionally and culturally and politically viable. Lamar had already proven himself to be an up and coming star before this, but here, he transcends all of what was expected of him. He recalls here the power of racially fueled subjects that Public Enemy burned through in the 90’s. He asks important questions about race, crime and life, and he does it with the touch of a musical genius. To Pimp A Butterfly is simply masterful, and should be listened to with an open mind by all.

“Wesley’s Theory” is about actor Wesley Snipes and his having been jailed for tax evasion. “King Kunta” deals with negative African American stereotypes. “U” is Lamar dealing with depression. There are so many different subjects, and so many different sounds…and somehow, it all fits together perfectly. To Pimp A Butterfly jumps out at you from every angle. It’s raw yet beautiful. It’s coarse yet intelligent. It’s shocking yet truthful. AND it was a hit. Five hit singles and 11 Grammy nominations. Wild yet accessible. I could go on and on and not run out of superlatives for this album. I’m learning to appreciate and understand and love hip hop…I adore this album, respect it greatly, and don’t want to be without it in my life. His fourth album, Damn, came out in 2017 and continued the path that Lamar set down on this album. I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next.

In 1994, music was just starting to get interesting again. And one of the bands that was making life fun again as a listener was Live. Particularly, their second album, Throwing Copper. This band was heavy, creative, and sang songs that were maybe a bit top heavy in the realm of seriousness, but they were most certainly not boring. Singer and lyricist Ed Kowalczyk delivers the one-two punch that put Live on the map in the best pair of hits from the year. “I Alone” is brilliant in its heaviness and dynamics. And “Lightning Crashes” became an unlikely monster hit with almost nothing but rhythm guitar and vocals. Throwing Copper is worth having for these two songs alone…the fact that the rest is as solid as it is makes it even better. The band was at their peak here, gleefully tearing through song after song with a sound that helped make the death throes of classic rock, hair metal and new wave all the more tolerable.

The album, produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads, also features the excellent “Selling The Drama”, “All Over You” and “White, Discussion”. Although they have continued to record, the band has never approached the success of this album, which remains really the only album by Live that you will ever need. They have a new singer these days, as Kowalczyk tried to screw his bandmates out of their publishing rights in 2008, resulting in a lawsuit and his dismissal from the band. Outside of that, and Throwing Copper, there isn’t much that’s memorable about this band. But Throwing Copper is really very good, and very much worth having. And “I Alone” and “Lightning Crashes” still sound as good today as they did in 1994, when the landscape of our musical world was still evolving and growing from the mundane to the exciting. Live didn’t last long as far as being relevant, but they did play a big part in the music of that exciting time. So, thanks, guys. Throwing Copper was a cool moment.

Realistic, the debut album from Ivy, hints at the sweet melodicism that would follow on later albums, but also shows the band in very much of a growing phase. There are times when you can hear the elements that made Apartment Life such a great experience,; other times there's a garage band feel that they hadn't quite gotten rid of yet. Which gives them more of an edge than they would later have. Sometimes a good thing. Otherwise...

"Get Enough" was the song that got them noticed in the first place. Dominique Durand is a good enough singer, and the band is more than capable. Bassist Adam Schlessinger is also in Fountains Of Wayne. Their better recordings came after this, but if you're a fan, it's pleasant enough.

The Lumineers formed in Denver in 2010 when Wesley Schulz and Jeremiah Fraites teamed up with cellist Neyla Pekarek and began playing open mics together. Their list of musical influences will surprise you: they cite, among others, Guns N’ Roses, Talking Heads, The Cars, and Tom Petty. The Lumineers sound nothing like any of those artists. They have, in fact, been criticized, along with Mumford & Sons, as being as non-rock as you can get. And while they are more folk that rock, it’s unfair to put them down for that. Their self-titled first album was a hit, thanks to the single “Ho Hey”. Cleopatra was a hit as well, despite being more subdued and even more folk driven…it’s the quality of the songs that carries it, as well as the beauty of the performances. It’s a more mature album than the debut was, and it doesn’t quite hold your attention as well, but it does have some great moments.

While some of the tracks are a bit too hazy, the best songs are definitely worthwhile. The trio of named songs (“Cleopatra”, “Ophelia”, and especially “Angela”) carry the album and make it one to have. These three tracks contain everything that is good about The Lumineers, and are more upbeat, but the rest of the album doesn’t quite reach that level. Where they go from here is uncertain…Pekarek left the band in 2018, and there has been no word about a third album as of yet. And despite the relative mellowness of their recordings, they do put on a surprisingly rowdy live show. It’s good that groups like this can actually get radio play in this day and age…something that not too long ago would not have been likely. Let’s hope that we haven’t heard the last of The Lumineers…that would be a shame.

Never mind the Sex Pistols...here's The Buzzcocks! Singles Going Steady is a collection of their early singles, and was the first album by the band released in America. And it just may be the greatest punk album ever made. From track one, parents everywhere must have known that they were in trouble. "Orgasm Addict" in 1979 must have been a shocker. Led by Pete Shelley and Howard DeVoto, The Buzzcocks were fast, loud...and they had great songs. Every track here is a should be classic. If you like punk in any way, you should have...no. You need this album. This is what it was all about.

The Buzzcocks broke up in 1981, but regrouped in 1989. DeVoto is gone, but Pete Shelley is still at it.
