Check It Out - Loconotion

My friend Trae recently started up a new website called Loconotion, which keeps a critical eye on the various forms of media (music/tv/film/etc). While I have never claimed to be a writer, I was asked to contribute and so I have joined the far more talented team. So far, I have posted several album reviews, including a few that were originally found right here on the Lovers. Hopefully, you'll get a chance to check it out.
