Tom Doz

Every morning I wake up and take a dull pencil to the dimple of my chin to ensure that it stays deep enough to utilize for everyday activities well into my old age. I call it shaping for the future. These activities include opening beer bottles, getting deep into those back massaging pressure points and storing Monopoly pieces. I also listen to music. I love music. Especially music that Employee hates.

SYFFALIST - April - 2016

Tom Doz | May 3, 2016
Kevin Morby - Destroyer: I stopped numerically ranking my SYFFAList some time ago because is there really a difference between 4 and 6? Instead I opted for flow.  BUT I will declare that this is my fo sho number one track this month. OH JESUS...

Kyle Craft - Dolls of Highland

Tom Doz | April 28, 2016
Since I write about music it's a given that I listen to a lot of music. This doesn't make my opinion any more or less valid than yours, but I can confidently say that Kyle Craft's new album Dolls of Highland doesn't sound like...

Kevin Morby - Singing Saw

Tom Doz | April 19, 2016
This definitely feels like a grown up album.   It's a scotch album....2 fingers and neat. It's a night time album.   I can't imagine you'd want to see Kevin Morby perform at a venue with screaming girls. You'd be more apt to seeing him by...

One Song: Magic City Hippies - HUSH

Tom Doz | April 18, 2016
Hello, this is Tom. No. Not Joel. Yeah, I know Magic City Hippies is Joel's band, but I'm feeling this track.  AND I just need to tell you that 'HUSH' is like sex with too much lube...you are just sliding all over the place and putting...

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - PersonA

Tom Doz | April 15, 2016
While listening to Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros it's hard not to imagine yourself skipping barefoot through a dewy field while you brush over the top of the high grass with your hands that are out stretched beside you.  And you are...

Dam Gila - Face The Sun

Tom Doz | April 7, 2016
Many people haven't heard of YAWN (at least, I don't think they have), but I reviewed one of their albums a couple of years ago. Strangely what I loved about that album is almost the complete opposite of what I love about this Dam Gila EP....

SYFFALIST - March - 2016

Tom Doz | March 28, 2016
Andrew Bird - Left Handed Kisses (ft. Fiona Apple): A song about writing a love song and it's perfect.  Britta Phillips - Drive (Cars Cover): I have a theory. If you fuck up a cover of 'Drive' you need to hang up your wet...

Ray LaMontagne - Ouroboros

Tom Doz | March 24, 2016
It's not often when I hear an album and immediately go buy it on vinyl. Usually I need to make sure I love it before spending my hard earned $20 that'd I'd normally rather be forced to spend on Shopkins or Skylanders. DAMN KIDS CONSTANTLY BE DRAINING MY...

One Song: M83 - Solitude

Tom Doz | March 18, 2016
Some songs make we want to write essays, like that Andrew Bird video I published yesterday. Some songs just make me want to shut up. I don't really have anything to say about this new track from M83.  So just sit back and loosen your belt and...

Andrew Bird - Left Handed Kisses (feat. Fiona Apple)

Tom Doz | March 16, 2016
In college I took a poetry class...you know, for the ladies. Anyhoo, it seems the underlying meaning of all the great poems we analyzed revolved around the poet's struggle to writing great poetry. My young grad student teacher who unironically wore a bow tie...
