It's Gotta be MAY
It's clear I have neglected this blog, and will likely continue to do so. What can I say - I've been as busy as I suspected I would be. I am now working as a Creative Executive at an incredible company called The Young Astronauts, working on everything from TV, Films and music videos to apps and games. It's kind of a creative's dream job.
The first day on the job, I wrote the treatment which would become this video:
Outside of work, I am still writing for TheIndyReview.com, and have completed two courses at Otis College of Art and Design, with a third one starting in June. I hope to begin painting again soon, but don't know exactly when (May is going to be busy).
Automated Irritation has finished it's festival run (I will be attending the Feedback Film Festival in Los Angeles tomorrow where it will be screening), and we are actively developing an anthology series within the same world based on it.
The creativity goes on in many new ways.

TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2017
1.Bleachers - Gone Now
Over the last two years, Jack Antoff has proven himself an expert in pop songcraft, writing and producing tracks for Lorde, Taylor Swift, and more importantly, himself. With his latest venture under the moniker Bleachers, Antoff has created an album that is both cohesive as a singular piece of musical art, and overflowing with radio-ready singles. Gathering influence from 80's pop and stadium rock, songs like "Don't Take the Money" and "Hate That You Know Me" could have ruled the radio and MTV during its heyday, yet also sound completely in-tune with our modern aesthetic. The ways in which Antoff calls-back to certain phrases and melodies throughout the album feels natural instead of gimmicky, and overall helps infuse this work with a romanticism and nostalgia that no other pop album released this year managed to capture so well.
2.Matthew Ryan - Hustle Up Starlings
Matthew Ryan is one of the most consistently strong and underrated song-writers working today, and his latest release only continued to solidify that. Ryan's throaty, near-whispered vocals are an emotional weapon, capable of inducing a nuclear impact of hurt, regret, wistfulness and longing. What gives this album an extra adrenalized boost is the production work of Brian Fallon, upping the tempo on excellent tracks like single "(I Just Died) Like an Aviator". It's an extra burst of power to a collection of songs that are at once beautiful and emotionally devastating.
3.Lee Bains III & The Glory Fires - Youth Detention
The best true rock n' roll album of the year. Mixing the southern rock heft and hustle of the Drive-By Truckers with the eclectic songwriting of R.E.M., the songs on Youth Detention explode with punk energy, cracklin' hooks, and stadium-worthy jams.
4.Matthew Good - Something Like a Storm
If the title of the album didn't convey it clearly enough, Matthew Good's latest release is brimming with drama, dread and an impending sense of darkness encroaching on us, and it's a perfect soundtrack for a year that encompassed all of these fears and uncertainties. From the bitter acceptance in "Bad Guys Win" to the contemplative title track, Good's evocative imagery and poetic lyrics bring artfulness to a bleak landscape.
5.Dispatch - America, Location 12
There is a journeyman's quality to Dispatch's latest work, but one where the person journeying eventually returns to the reality of American life and has to face it. While tracks like "Only the Wild Ones" and "Painted Yellow Lines" evoked carefree times and youthful romance, they are balanced with political scorchers like "Skin the Rabbit" or "Rice Water". Even as the lyrics shift, there is no arguing that it's one of the group's most musically consistent works, blending folk rock with sparks of reggae and hard rock. A great showing that proves why they are one of the most successful independent bands around.
6.Lucky Boys Confusion - Stomchasers
These Chicago boys made their long-awaited comeback this year with an album that shows the pop-punk sound is far from dead. But then, LBC have always been more than just pop punk, incorporating more mature songwriting and doses of ska, reggae and dub into their style to expand it beyond the typical Warped Tour fair. And with tracks like "Sun in My Eyes" and "Good Luck", you'll be wondering why this group isn't yet playing arenas with the Green Days and Fall Out Boys of the world.
7.Sorority Noise - You're Not as __ as You Think
There's been a lot of talk online about an "emo revival", and Sorority Noise are the first group I've listened to that makes me believe it's real. Combining indie rock melodies, punk wails and thoughtful and funny lyrics about struggles with mental health and suicide, You're Not as ____ as You Think rewards repeated listens to unpack the depth of each song.
8.Chastity Brown - Silhouette of Sirens
Lovely, swooning folk rock from a soulful chanteuse. Brown shows an incredible range on Silhouette of Sirens, from delicate to expansive. One could picture these songs playing during a long drive, a rainy evening, or a protest march, and they would only enhance those moments.
9.Japandroids - Near to the Wild Heart of Life
While not as impactful as their Celebration Rock, the Japandroids' third album is still chock full of power punk pile-drivers driven by Springsteenian storytelling about breaking out of small towns and chasing big dreams. It's crisp open road rock n' roll with a bursting romantic heart at its center.
10.Miles Mosley - Uprising
Barn-burning soul from Kamasi Washington's stand-up bass player. Rave-ups like "Young Lion" will hit you like a bulldozer, and if you don't get caught up in the piano-driven jam "Abraham", then you certainly should never claim an affinity for funk, because it's the funk song of the decade.
TEN HONORABLE MENTIONS (In Alphabetical Order)

Flobots - Noenemies
The King Blues - The Gospel of Truth
Mexican Institute of Sound - Disco Popular
Murs - Captain California

Ted Leo - The Hanged Man
The War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
TOP 50 SONGS OF 2017
1. Paramore - Hard Times
If you had told me in January that my favorite song this year would be a Talking Heads-inspired pop jam from Paramore, I would have done a double take. Not that the group hasn't written some good songs ("Ain't It Fun" made my Best of 2013 list), but I was definitely blindsided by this one. Maybe it's how the lyrics seemed to directly address what was one of the roughest years of my life, or how Haley and the team did this through one of the most effortlessly cool, quirky, grooving songs they've ever written. Whatever it is, this infectious concoction won the year hands down.
2. Strand of Oaks - Radio Kids
A song that touches on the power of music and youth, with guitars that send shivers up my spine and soul.
3. Bleachers - Don't Take the Money
Shiny guitars and 80's production wrap around eccentric pop with stadium ambitions and a hopeless romantic's heart. If Say Anything were released today, it wouldn't be far-fetched to see John Cusack blasting a song like this from his stereo. It hits all the right chords and then some.
4. Japandroids - No Known Drink or Drug
The Japandroids reveal themselves to be grand romantics with this anthemic rocker. "No known drink, no known drug, could ever hold a candle to your love" is a line that should win over the hardest hearts.
5. Miles Mosley - Young Lion
This soul-funk number rages in all the right ways as it blasts out of the speakers with a glorious fire.
6. Mac McCaughan - Happy New Year (Prince Can't Die Again)
The best song to address our current political climate this year. Written at the very end of 2016, it sadly stays completely relevant, with the one uplifting note of it being that Prince truly can't die again.
7. Gorillaz - Ascension (feat. Vince Staples)
On the outside it's a high energy hip-hop track for the dance floor, but listen to the lyrics, and you'll find Staples demolishing America's gun culture and race relations. A subtly powerful track that will take you by surprise.
8. Matthew Ryan - (I Just Died) Like an Aviator
One of Ryan's most propulsive songs to date. For anyone who has ever lost someone close to them, try listening to Ryan's pleading at the end "Don't die, don't disappear. I swear to God we need you here" without getting choked up. It certainly got to me.
9. Son Volt - Back Against the Wall
This steady folk number has the timelessness of Dylan's best work, with a understated vocal performance that adds an emotional heft to the track.
10. Bash & Pop - On the Rocks
The most welcome surprise of this year was Tommy Stinson reforming his post-Replacements band to tour and release a new album. The lead single contained all that made the group's first album so strong; catchy guitars, boozy vocals, and a lively spirit.
11. GospelbeacH - Strange Days
12. Tash Sultana - Jungle

14. Frank Turner - The Sand in the Gears
