The Return of T-Sides and Two Gallants

I’ve been wanting to get back to updating for awhile now, but I’ve been busy, and… well, you don’t need to hear all the details, but suffice it to say, it’s been a very, very long month or two. It should come as no surprise that the music that finally gets me up and going...

Where in the World is Taylor T-Sides?

I’ve been awfully busy at work lately, which means I’ve been awful tired lately, thus the slowing down of postings. However, there are some goodies for you this week: 1. I did a Mix Six for Py Korry with the theme of “Rap… for people who don’t like rap.” It was a bit of a...

No, really.

I know, I know. Things have been really quiet here at T-Sides, and believe me, it’s not for a lack of caring — I still want you to read this, I still want you here! It’s largely that I’m busy, and it’s hard for me to settle down and write things with as long as...

Happy Birthday / Best of T-Sides.com

Since it’s a bit hard for me to believe, it will probably be harder for all of you to believe, but this past weekend marked the one year point since I started this website. Over the past year, I’ve documented a lot of things – my ever changing taste in music, my internship at Rolling...

Introducing: Lost MP3 of the Week

I’ve (finally) come up with a workable feature to present here on T-Sides, and I’m calling it “Lost MP3 of the Week.” What does this mean, do you ask? Well, allow me to explain. As you can probably guess, I have a ton of music. Probably not enough to rival with the collection of a...

T-Sides vs. Everyone Else: Part One

If you talk to me about my status/future/job as a music critic, one thing you may hear me say is that I’m a music critic who disagrees with music critics. That’s not to say that I’m so overwhelmingly original that no one ever shares my point of view. It’s just that, more often than not,...

Taylor: A Musical History

When you’re reading any sort of non-fiction memoirs, articles in newspapers & magazines, blogs, it’s good to know where the writer is coming from. Having an idea of the author’s general tastes, opinions and areas of expertise make it easier for us to know how to interpret what they write. This all sounds very serious...
