Single Play April 11, 2025

1 week ago | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

April 11, 2025 3 Min Read While we hurtle toward a man-made abyss created by a mediocre man, let us at least have some new music to remind us why humans are awesome sometimes. This week’s Single Play has a decidedly more acoustic vibe, but boy those pop hooks sure come out and play epically. I do hope you enjoy these tunes, some of which came out a few weeks ago, but are no less deserving to be in the spotlight.
Single Play: March 30, 2025

3 weeks ago | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

March 30, 2025 3 Min Read It’s been more than a minute since my last Single Play post. It’s not that the world stopped producing music, it’s just that parts of the world — okay, the part I live in — are, um, going through some rough terrain. But…Art persists. And that’s a great thing — especially when it comes to music. While our reaction to music varies, Music, writ large, can get us out of our heads and connect us to something pure.

Nov 22, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

November 22, 2024 2 Min Read It’s been a minute since my last Single Play post. That’s not to say the new releases aren’t coming. Rather, life sometimes gets in the way and, well, the next thing you know, a few months have gone by. That said, here are three songs I think you’ll enjoy—or at least I hope you will.

November 9, 2024 11 Min Read The 40th anniversary of the Tragically Hip is a milestone that’s been marked in a number of special ways.

40 Years Later: “Diamond Life” by Sade

Sep 15, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

September 15, 2024 8 Min Read About a year after Sade’s debut record Diamond Life was released on July 16th, 1984, the group’s lead singer Helen Folasade Adu (aka Sade Adu), sat for an interview with Rolling Stone magazine to talk about the success Sade (the group, and its lead singer-songwriter) experienced shortly after the album’s release.
The Ted Zone: Weyland-Yutani Is The Worst Company To Work For

Sep 2, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

September 2, 2024 4 Min Read In the United States, Labor Day is a time to honor workers and their economic contributions. It’s a day off for those who labor, celebrated as a recognition of their role in America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
Single Play, August 28, 2024

Aug 27, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

August 28, 2024 2 Min Read This Single Play showcases strong female energy, with all featured artists being women. Perhaps it’s a refreshing counterbalance to the heavy male-dominated music I’ve been listening to lately. With that in mind, here are three songs worth your time.
Album Review: The Smashing Pumpkins, “Aghori Mhori Mei”

Aug 24, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

August 24, 2024 2 Min Read The Smashing PumpkinsAghori Mhori MeiAfter 2023’s epic, ambitious, and bloated 2 ½ hour marathon of a listening experience called ATUM, The Smashing Pumpkins have somewhat returned to their ’90s-era form with Aghori Mhori Mei. While the former behemoth of an album felt like a doctoral dissertation in Fantasy Lit Studies set to music (footnotes, index, and bibliography included), Aghori Mhori Mei feels like a series of tightly argued essays.
Concert Review: Echo & the Bunnymen, the Warfield, San Francisco, 6/6/24

Jun 10, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

June 8, 2024 3 Min Read For a guy who hates the literal spotlight on a stage, lead singer and songwriter contributor to Echo & The Bunnymen Ian McCulloch made sure all eyes were on his dark dramatics during the band’s performance at the Warfield in San Francisco on June 6th. Things started all well and good during the opening number, “Going Up.” The power the band brought to the live performance dwarfed the studio version of their 1980 album Crocodiles.
Single Play: June 11, 2024

Jun 10, 2024 | popdose.com | Ted Asregadoo

June 11, 2024 3 Min Read It’s been a minute…okay, it’s been over a month since my last Single Play post. And in that time, a slew of new music has come out: some good, some not-so-good, and some awful. Of course, I won’t dwell on the latter two categories, because why spend time telling you what to avoid? Like all art, music is subjective – except when it’s objectively good, bad, or so-so. “The Mob,” As For The Future (Soundcloud)Don’t Be Fooled by the Breezy Feel.
