Significant utterances and pure vibrations: the voice of a generation
Ode to Colin Meloy I seem to have a preference for those vocalists who are strange, challenging, unpredictable, idiosyncratic and creative. I love listening to something and then having to rethink everything I’ve ever heard as a result; something that leaves my mind as frazzled as the stylus on my record player. First there was Bowie,…
