As Henry Longfellow says, “Music is the universal language of mankind”. Whether you speak fluent Ke$ha or are bilingual in Psy-nese and Katy Perry-an, music has become much more than a way of communicating.

Ty Segall’s most recent album, Twins, was placed into my hands on a semi warm day in early October. The guys at Phono Select said with a big ol’ smile, “You’ll like this one, I know it.” As soon as I heard the first few notes, I was transported to an earlier time of garage … Continue reading
