Pretty Much Amazing
Web Site: prettymuchamazing.com/
As conjured up in the twisted mind of Luis Tovar, Pretty Much Amazing is a regularly updated music blog that focuses on pop, indie music and culture in the present. Through random rants, diologues, reviews, updates, and other eccentricities, PMA tries to create an atmosphere where pop music and the creativity that surrounds pop music can be conserved and possibly flourish.

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
May 11, 2012Though he came up in New York’s art-punk underground with his Sonic Youth bandmate Thurston Moore and has a long history of making noisy, experimental solo records, Lee Ranaldo has always been the member of the band who contributed the most straightforwardly melodic songs—and the only one who could reliably carry a tune with his voice. more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 09, 2012M. Ward was a talented, much-beloved indie singer-songwriter before he became the talented, much-beloved indie singer-songwriter by the side of Zooey Deschanel in She & Him. That duo tends toward softer, wispier strains than Ward does on his own, but his sound still slots in well with aspects of folk from the ’70s. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Heave Media
May 14, 2012The beauty of Battles’ singular brand of post-rockish weirdness is that there’s a buoyancy to most of their songs, a bounce that feels strange given their status as the oddball descendants of industrial rock (to an extent), but nevertheless right.
