The Rolling Stones – Dirty Work

So yesterday’s entry was a little phoned-in, I feel. I knew this was going to happen, because I knew taking on this project that I wasn’t always going to give 100% in my writing, no matter how much I love the album (and I do love that album). Today, I am feeling not any more [...]

Warren Zevon – Preludes: Rare And Unreleased Recordings

Ok ok, so I know this probably breaks a bunch of unspoken rules. For one, I JUST wrote about Warren Zevon like TWO DAYS AGO. For two, what I’m writing about isn’t exactly an album, in that it’s a posthumous release of collected rarities and demos and a second disc of an interview with the [...]

Warren Zevon – Excitable Boy

Everybody’s desperate, trying to make ends meet Work all day, still can’t pay the price of gasoline and meat Alas, their lives are incomplete Don’t it make you want to rock and roll, all night long? Mohammed’s Radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful on the radio Mohammed’s Radio These are lines from Warren [...]

Deep Purple – In Rock

Ok, I know I JUST did a writeup on Muse, so throwing Deep Purple MK II music in right after that is in danger of being too much rock, but I am willing to risk that for you. I have been a fan of Deep Purple for a couple of years now (though a fan [...]

Motörhead – Ace Of Spades

I have found myself today at a loss for time. I just woke up, am due in at work in about an hour, and have all my time afterward booked up well past midnight, so basically this brief amount of time here is the only time I have to write about an album. I figured [...]

Gentle Giant – Gentle Giant

I decided, based on a friend’s advice, to tackle writing about my favorite band as a once-a-month thing. It works out, you see, Gentle Giant put out 12 albums, and there are 12 months in the year. I decided that “roughly the middle” is a good time of month to write these articles, so the [...]

The Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed

It’s about time I talked about an album other people have heard of, right? I dig the Rolling Stones, say what you will about them. I have all of their studio albums, but this one has a very special significance to me, because it’s the first for me. This is where it all began, the [...]

Warren Zevon – Warren Zevon

Now it’s time to talk about a musician who makes the Grandpa living inside me a very happy man. Since we’re discussing his “debut” (not actually his first album), let’s talk a little bit about how I got into Warren Zevon. When the word “genius” and “musician’s musician” are used with all apparent sincerity about [...]

Jarvis Humby – Assume The Position It’s

OK folks, I have learned a sharp, harsh lesson about WordPress. If you are writing a blog entry and you push “ctrl + a” by accident, say when trying to italicize or underline something, it will “select all” and you better hope to God your next move is not ANYTHING AT ALL because you push [...]

Hot Tuna – Burgers

Ahh, pay-day at last! I am now the proud owner of a clearance-priced Logitech S510 wireless keyboard/mouse set, as I had typed up the previous two entries with some barely-working gear that came with the computer. Things should go a lot smoother now, also I picked up a couple of new albums (as in, recorded [...]
