Joel Frieders
Joel Frieders woke up three salmon streams by merely emitting a low frequency squelch out of his thyroid. We hope he continues with such impressive feats of science, because he for sure needs help in the tattoos of fruits in precarious situations category. Rob Campobasso for Athlete of the Month. If cream of tartar isn't actually creamy, then why the hell am I so meteor showered? Is it any wonder. IS IT ANY WONDAAAA!

Tides of Man - Young and Courageous
Joel Frieders | March 3, 2014
Post rock is one of my vices.
I chose the word vice because it isn't like it's a hobby, habit or anything that actually makes me a better father or employee or human, post rock helps me not pay attention. Post rock helps me sit among the assholes and imagine...

Bombay Bicycle Club - So Long, See You Tomorrow
Joel Frieders | February 20, 2014
I am fortunate in life.
I know this.
One of the main reasons I don't complain about things other than lazy musicians (read: tag your music bro) is that I realize I'm one of the lucky ones. I am inherently happy. I realize people think I'm a freak for being so...

Quick Fix: Waterstrider - Redwood
Joel Frieders | February 3, 2014
I love right now.
Some random band that doesn't suck balls just sent a link to a single titled Redwood, and it's unbelievable. Seriously, the way the drums welcomed me in with the galloping I was already hooked and I hadn't even heard the vocals yet.
Imagine...

There Will Be Fireworks - The Dark Dark Bright
Joel Frieders | November 21, 2013
There are few bands in my life where the mere mention of their name makes me think of the exact moment I knew I loved them. Like, every single time I am reminded of their existence because of a random conversation overheard, the time of year, a smell, or a...

Cas One - The Monster and the Wishing Well
Joel Frieders | October 15, 2013
I grew up around people who made the rap musics. Guys who had no problem with fighting, skipping school, smoking, breaking rules or laws, abusing one's liver, pulling a homemade three footer from the second floor of an abandoned house; rappers were a walking...

White Lies - BigTV
Joel Frieders | September 25, 2013
White Lies' album Ritual dominated my headphones for a good four months a few years ago. It was huge and emotional and serious and so fucking easy to get stuck in my head and in turn, it got stuck in my stereo for what felt like the...
Interview
Our Interview with Animal Years - We were interviewed for Cosmopolitan's "How to Please Your Man" segment.
Joel Frieders | September 19, 2013
Oh god. I HAAAAAATE interviews.
Ever since I FINALLY landed that one interview with that musician I had been begging for months (I will not bust him out, but I will tell you I hate him now) to let me interview him and it turned out horrible, I've hated...

Kauf - As Much Again
Joel Frieders | September 18, 2013
There are very few instances over the past year where I've put something on without knowing who it was and I end up listening to it all the way through and then again and again and again.
I did that exact shit with the new EP from Kauf,...
