Vinyl never dies! But is the vinyl revival slowing down? I talked with Matt Earley of Gotta Groove Records out of Ohio to get some great insight into the world of vinyl manufacturing right now www.waxzine.com/post/inside-...
Inside The Vinyl Revival: With Gotta Groove President Matt Earley
The revival of vinyl has been a historic rise. From their dominance for decades before the CD, to their quick irrelevance in the 90s, to their meteoric rise again, they have had ups and downs throughout their very long lifespan. The current state of the record industry is one that looks very different from what it once did. While no, it may not be as robust as it was in the 70s, the industry has gone back into full swing again as production plants across the country continue to pop up and the v

"Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist without it." Our review of Juju by Siouxsie and the Banshees is out NOW! Check it: www.waxzine.com/reviews/juju
WAX | Juju
Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist in the same way without it. While Siouxsie’s looks may have been the most recognizable aspect of their image, their music is what kept people hooked. They started in the 70s, but Siouxsie and the Banshees are a uniquely 80s band. The 80s was a time when subculture could thrive like never before. There was only a growing market for the jagged gothic post-punk they were offering. That style only became more entrenched in their sound on Juju. There’s not a song on here that’s not necessary. Everything builds this picture of dark gothic ambience that only Siouxsie’s vocals could embody. Her voice is so clearly ready for an album like this, and the sound that forms around her serves as a perfectly grimy base for her vocal lift. The final product is an album that was immensely ahead of its time with a sound that couldn’t be replicated for years. There’s truly nothing that has the certain luster this album does, and there’s something new you notice each time you listen. Gothic music is more than just this album, but it wouldn’t exist without it.

Some would say I’m listening to too much Sinatra recently. But “too much” and “Sinatra” are oxymorons so I think they’re wrong
Norma Tanega was way ahead of her time. She was the original indie folk star
