About “Holy, Holy” by Geordie Greep – and about grown-up music

This is such an incredible song, absolutely perfect, a masterpiece.

It is wild and cynical and romantic and operatic and sleazy and jazz-funk-Steely-Dan-Brazilian-dirty.

"I made a bed where you don't belong."

Ben Howard's 'Burgh Island' EP, the tidal island off England's coast, and that single line from 'Esmerelda' a meditation on building a life that has no room for the authentic self. The creative self vs the practical self. Let the tide come in.

New post: an essay on Jana Horn's self-titled album — why her flat, unmoving guitar and murmured, first-person vocals land so hard right now.

Her "Go on, move your body" video has her asleep on a stranger's shoulders through the NYC subway; "Come On" has her dancing completely alone in a desert and at a bridge. Written in NY, recorded in the Texas desert, with a band that holds her up without ever crowding her out.

A new piece on Cocteau Twins — how their sound echoed
through The Sundays and eventually the Cranberries,
and why their influence outlasted their commercial success.

I do enjoy Steven Hyden's perspectives on music. I saved this a long time ago and finally got to listening to it. Now I need to listen to all the other articles in the series. So very good. #MusicWriting

Sex in pop lyrics isn’t the problem. Bad metaphors, broken grammar, and zero restraint are. If you have to explain the joke, it’s not funny.

New Journal entry is up: “Aggressive Kindness.”

It’s about growing up on Ramones, Rancid, Bad Religion, NOFX, Dropkick Murphys and realizing those records weren’t just noise, they were sneaking in lessons about community, mutual aid, and how to look out for each other on and off the floor.

If you ever memorized lyric sheets like scripture, this one’s for you.

Read it here: https://adventureadjacent.com/2025/12/09/aggressive-kindness-from-mosh-pits-to-forest-roads/

In a world where the answer to the question “What do Led Zeppelin and Warrant have in common?” is “They both have songs where pastry stands in for the female genitalia,” the high-concept ambiguity of Annihilator’s “Knight Jumps Queen” is a welcome breath of fresh air.

When Judas Priest wrote “Brain Dead,” they must have thought, “Well, our new lead singer is already ripping off our old lead singer, so we might as well halfheartedly rip another band off while we’re at it.”
