Tk’s 2010 Deathly Noninclusions

In just a moment, I will unveil my Deathly Noninclusions for 2010 in music. Below you will find the following categories: Song of [...]

The End of an Era? Sort Of.
August 21, 2010 was a turning point for me musically. I woke up slowly and, with no plans until later in the day, decided to try out Ra Ra Riot’s new album The Orchard. A pleasant listen indeed, but by about the 20th minute, I was itching for something different. Something fresh. Something unexpected. So, [...]

As you may have noticed last week, CK got tipsy on typing with his Sasquatch Saturday Recap. He will continue these frisky frollicks into the future, but for now, you’re stuck with Tk’s Sasquatch Squawkin’.

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 [...]

Here it is, folks: My report on the first quarter of 2010. It’s been a solid year so far. This list is presented with minimal commentary; just know that you’ll see many of these records in my “Best of 2010″ post nine months from now. But you don’t have to take my word for it… [...]

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 [...]

Top 10 songs of 2004-2008
