Al’s Top 40 of 2009 Coming Soon to The Scope Show
December 6, 2009 | Posted by: Al
No, Al has not hi-jacked The Scope Show from Jared, Adam, and Shane. He is simply here to take part in everyone’s favorite December past time- making lists. We will discuss and debate some of the tunes we heard during 2009. You can tell Al that all his music sucks and remind him that we are not in the 1990’s anymore when some nostalgic bands make his list of 40 over the uber-cool trendy bands that you like (don’t worry Candlebox and Ugly Kid Joe didn’t crack the list this year).

Micro Music Review: Sky Blue Sky
June 12, 2007 | Posted by: Al
Sky Blue Sky
Wilco
Nonesuch Records
2 stars
Wilco turns back the clock in their latest release Sky Blue Sky. In homage to 70s rock, Wilco strips the bells and whistles found on previous albums and puts out their most organic album since their 1995 debut A.M. Lyrically, Jeff Tweedy doesn’t mess around with vague lyrics that are left up to interpretation. They are pleasant, straight forward, and get directly to the point.
