Mainstreet Brings a Slice of Heartland Rock From Norway on Their Tracks of Fire, Vol. 1 EP

When asked in regards to why I’ve been a critic for so long and with how exactly did I garner the longevity I have now as a media critic, I like to point out that a critic’s job is to present a perspective, and mine has a very unique value as a pansexual nonbinary Asian

Jet Set Trash: We are living in Mike Stewart Theory’s world

Let me just be completely honest. When I initially listened to the track, it sounds honky. I feel like it’s not going anywhere. As a reviewer, you always look for that lasting impression and sure enough, it dawned on me. Mike Stewart Theory is not on our level. Or even on anyone’s level. Let me
