"I prefer to listen to Cheap Trick" - Homer Simpson

Man slices woman's neck on a subway.

Russia sends drones into Poland (remember what happened the last time Poland was attacked?).

Now a political assassination.

This world is on heroin...

What show were you watching?

The preening, strutting, bare chested carrying on. In a Jagger vein...not just like Jagger but in the style. Times are lean, we gotta take what we get.

With the bands/singers this site is about, I'm surprised that a over the top singer would generate this kinda hate. He's very popular at home so clearly he's connecting with an audience. As far as him being derivative...short of Prince (who still had TONS of influences) who can we call a true origin...

Wonder if Uncle Ted got a co-writing credit on this gem?

Honorable Mention: T-Ride

If based on nothing else than the demos for the second album, they had more to offer than 1 album.

Just because you can make an album on your laptop doesn't mean you should.

Roxy Blue "Rock the Cradle" is practically a tribute to "Hot For Teacher"

To quote the great, late Greg Giraldo: "I think Rick is a great interviewer: doesn't get in the way, let's people talk, often gets interesting different tidbits. This time he probably should have gotten in the way a bit, because Perry was not a great interviewee. Perry has NEVER been a good in...

OK I'm not the only one who thinks the new costumes look like they came from one of those pop-up Sprit stores.

He got to go out on top with so many around to honor him. We should all be so lucky.

Trite stupid "business" buzz words

Jiminy - Bear Ghost

Not very sludgy but great playing, clever lyrics, and eclectic as hell.

Yeah Nuno isn't the tallest guy around, and yeah all of the band members wear big heels (except the drummer). Honestly they look no shorter than the Japanese tourists I see every day. As for Nuno spazzing out, he was being recorded by the Lovebites videographer so I'm sure he played up his reactions...

Vito Brata...the guy just flowed. The solo in "Wait" showcases this.

Justin Hawkins reviewed the tune. I had never really considered the Scandinavian elements in the music before, but he is right in his comparisons. Of course, ABBA has been brought up often.

Spillways was the best ABBA song in the past 30 years.

Maybe he's like Joe Walsh and Iggy Pop who are years sober but still sound loaded.

My guess is when Pophouse bought KISS (catalog, images, IP) it did not include rights to any members but Paul & Gene. For a release with limited commercial appeal, why pay more to make it happen?

DING DING DING we have a winner!

At first glance the new Album Anti Pope/Papa/ Cardinal or whatever the hell he'll be called...is a veer away from the more commercial sound of the last couple albums. Impera started with a "Rush" song and a "ABBA" song, super commercial. The new single is a redirection to the &qu...

Elevator Operator - Electric Callboy

Mexico - Igel vs Shark

Honorable mention for Robin Zander. The past few years have seen his high register tapering off but he still delivers.

From last year, but new to me: Mexico by Igel vs Shark.
Austrian straight ahead rock band, think AC/DC on speed. Power trio, catchy as fuck.

38 years old according to Rabbi Google...this is what the term "hitting the wall" was created for.

My favorite is a Shishkov DC semi-hollow. Pick ups voiced for Classic Rock and untouchable build quality.

Honorable mention to my Jackson Soloist (all about the neck) and my Kiesel Aries.

Meh...

I like this better: https://youtu.be/7lu8ptDI274?si=7Xm1-dGXs8UrLUlq

Definitely not practicing guitar...
