Tom Doz

Every morning I wake up and take a dull pencil to the dimple of my chin to ensure that it stays deep enough to utilize for everyday activities well into my old age. I call it shaping for the future. These activities include opening beer bottles, getting deep into those back massaging pressure points and storing Monopoly pieces. I also listen to music. I love music. Especially music that Employee hates.

Manchester Orchestra - A Black Mile To The Surface

Tom Doz | October 16, 2017
I don't even know why we call these things album reviews. We only write about shit we like and really don't 'review' anything. We just try to explain why we love a particular album so much. Hopefully you'll then love it it too and the world will be a better...

The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding

Tom Doz | August 28, 2017
To confirm a thought I had, I looked at my most played songs in iTunes. On the list is Father John Misty because I'm a fan boy, Girl Talk because there's always a time for Girl Talk and The War On Drugs.  I just knew TWOD...

Gang Of Youths - Go Farther In Lightness

Tom Doz | August 24, 2017
Guilty. I am fucking guilty of thinking what everybody else is going to think while listening to this album: sloppily pointing out the influences they hear. I'm no different. I just can't help it and I'm stooping to that level. Below is my thought process. ...

The Japanese House - Saw You In A Dream - EP

Tom Doz | July 5, 2017
When I stumbled across The Japanese House it transported me back 15 years to the time when I'd submerge myself into a sensory deprivation tank to listen to Frou Frou on repeat.  I could've SWORN this singer was Imogen Heap (of Frou Frou and...

Catching Up On 2017 - Multi-Album Review

Tom Doz | June 30, 2017
You may have noticed that we've been, for the most part, absent for 2017. SYFFAL is now pretty much just me (Tom) and Joel. Oh...and Tif, but she has the cushy job of going to free shows and taking pictures. Joel is one of those people who has 20 kids and...

The Raveonettes - Fast Food

Jesus H. Crackers. It's like I'm being water-boarded with tears.

One Song: Haerts - Your Love

Tom Doz | March 3, 2017
I draw hearts on my Trapper Keeper for Haerts. I listen to Haerts in a rented tux with the untied bowtie dejectedly hung around my neck. I kick the dirt on the ground in frustration for Haerts. Why? Becuase...

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - The Tourist

Tom Doz | February 24, 2017
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah was always one of those bands I could only take in small doses before Alec Ounsworth's vocals would make me want to shove pins in my ear drums. And while his voice didn't change there is something...

Are the Grammys getting you down?

Tom Doz | February 13, 2017
What was it that the great George W. Bush said? “There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.” Well, you get the idea: Shame...

Matthew Squires - Tambaleo

Tom Doz | February 2, 2017
When I was young one of the only restaurants that had a soda fountain machine that the customers could use was Fudruckers. I loved it because you could make your own concotion of soda flavors...a little root beer, a lot of Orange Crush, a little Sprite, a...
