About Us


There is a good chance you found us accidentally by using the word “taint” in your search (If you found us on purpose, you deserve our accolades). Of course we don’t know what you were looking for, but you stumbled on a damn cool project. Look around; let us help send you on a musical journey. Here you will find a number of album reviews from the strange and extreme to the tame and mainstream. Our reviewers are a bunch of obsessive miscreants. Most of us are avid music collectors and have been involved in the music world for decades. A couple of us have been in or are still in bands.

There are no rules on Tickle Your Taint Blog. Our reviewers might make you laugh, or piss you off; both results are legitimate. One reviewer might write a glowing review of an album another might tear it apart. We may end up adopting a single review system, such as five stars, or each reviewer may use his own or none at all. We may have a new review every week or we could end up with one every six months. This blog exists as a social experiment to build community among a diverse group of music maniacs – our reviewers and hopefully you. Pull down your knickers, lube up and join us in tickling yours and our taints.

    Downward is amazing. I'm still surprised it didn't get bigger at the time. Hum's 2020 album, Inlet, is a gloomy masterpiece, too. Very happy about their return.

    I am a little surprised at seeing Elvis Costello on your list. Because you like it, I am required to check it out to see what I have been missing during my years (decades actually) of ignoring Costello.

      The lyrics have an increasing impact on my life. "They say you better listen to the right side of reason. But they don't give you any choice because they think that its treason."

    Good classics from different genres. Go to music that can sustain.
