UPDATE (5/31/19): With heavy hearts and so many vivid memories of our charismatic friend & colleague, we share the difficult news that Brian passed away earlier this month in his recently adopted hometown of Austin, TX. We will miss you, Brian, and hope that you have found comfort and peace.

Read the candid reflections of Brian’s friend and former bandmate here.

We are thrilled to announce that the Albumism family has expanded once again with the key addition of Brian Grosz. A modern-day renaissance man in every sense of the phrase, Brian’s unique voice is fueled by his profound passion, wit, humor, and irreverence, all of which are destined to enhance and expand our content offerings.

We look forward to Brian’s contributions and perspectives in the future, and encourage the Albumism community to check out his great work, including his recently published 20th anniversary tribute to the Spice Girls’ debut album Spice, as well as his thoughtful ruminations about inheriting his father’s old vinyl collection.
