Oscar > Grammy

Why is it that the Academy Awards (Oscars) tend to get things more or less correct while the Grammys tend to get things oh so wrong? Well I’m not sure yet but I’m going to try to get to the bottom of it.

ADHD | Riverside

There’s something very different between my first review of Riverside and this one. When I wrote the first review, I had literally just found them that very night and only owned Rapid Eye Movement (2007) and Voice in My Head - EP (2005). At the time, I thought they might be on to something, but nothing really clicked. It’s been more than a year since that first review. I now own their first three full length studio albums (i.e. the Reality Dream Trilogy) and two EPs. Nirav and I have also since had the privilege of meeting them backstage at their only non-feastival show in the US to date for an interview with the lead singer, Mariusz Duda. So can you tell the difference between when I wrote my first review and now? Riverside has become one of my favorite bands and among the best of my finds since the start of Obnoxious Listeners.
