ck’s top ten albums of 2010
Another year, another top 10 list. The biggest change in the way I experienced music since 2009 is the death of lala.com. Fortunately, I was still able to find places online to listen to most albums that I was curious about. The public library has also become my friend. Unfortunately, that means I won’t have [...]

Over the next few days, we’ll be dissecting the festival in all its grandeur right here at CKTK. We also tweeted hard, so look back at our Twitter feed for those to-the-minute [...]

ck’s song of today (II)
In a year bereft of great rock albums thus far, “Blue Blood Blues” by The Dead Weather gives me some hope. Yes, I love indie-rock albums. I love massive collectives and I love neo-Afro/indie pop… but there’s nothing like a pure, guitar-based rock record. There has been a number of great records released in 2010, [...]

Best 1-2-3 Punch
What album has the best 1-2-3 Punch? That is, what album has the most impressive arrangement of Tracks 1, 2, and 3–an arrangement that hooks the listener and predisposes them to register rave reviews (even if Tracks 4 and on are disposable) ? Within these first 3 songs, the musicians attempt to declare the album [...]

tk’s top 40 albums of the decade
I pity the poor suckers who unleashed their “Albums of the Decade” lists before midnight on January 1st, 2010, because they ALL MISSED THIS ONE! This album (the one that I linked with pink ink before the exclamation point and after the word “they”) did MORE than just convert me to Epistemological Luddism–it also reminded [...]
