On Second Thought: Isis – Oceanic (2004)
Some days, it’s a song; some days, it’s an entire album. There’s been more “album” days than “song” days lately, possibly because much of the stuff I tend to listen to doesn’t work well as single tracks.

On Second Thought: Van Halen – A Different Kind of Truth (2012)
I stand corrected – and pleasantly surprised, too. When I went into my first listen of Van Halen’s A Different Kind of Truth, I was expecting a steaming pile of mediocrity.

On Second Thought: Fantomas – Delirium Cordia (2004)
Dark, scary, beautiful, and intriguing. Comprised of one long song (74 minutes and no track breaks!), Delirium Cordia really required the listener to take it all in at once.
On Second Thought: Pop Will Eat Itself – Dos Dedos Mis Amigos (1994)
With a music collection the size of Rhode Island, or at least a small city, like I have, it is inevitable that some things will gather some dust.
On Second Thought: Justin Townes Earle – Midnight at the Movies (2009)
When I first laid eyes on Justin Townes Earle at the Big Surprise Tour in Louisville this summer, I was perplexed.
