Many, many moons ago, I got a promo of Marty Stuart’s newest album at the time, This One’s Gonna Hurt You. With titles like “Me & Hank & Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” I could tell that for a country guy, Stuart probably liked to rock. So I put the album on and for approximately one album, […]

The Original 7ven – #Trendin
Morris Day and the complete original lineup of The Time recently released a new album called ‘Condensate,’ but if you missed the news, don’t feel too bad. The album has been released under the banner of “The Original 7ven” due to former Time associate Prince (he of the symbol, artist formerly known as, etc.) letting […]
Unboxing the new Pearl Jam ‘Twenty’ soundtrack
Yeah, I’d love to tell you that this is me, holding a copy of Pearl Jam’s new ‘Twenty’ soundtrack/rarities collection but alas, I’m here with you, waiting not so patiently for my copy.

New from Ben Folds Five, ‘House’
It feels so good to type the words “new Ben Folds Five.” For those of you living under that proverbial rock, Folds has an awesome rarities collection coming out that for some reason, we have to wait patiently until October to hear.

I had to laugh when I saw this: Steve Perry is welcome back on stage with Journey any time, guitarist Neal Schon said in a recent interview. In fact, current lead singer and Perry soundalike Arnel Pineda would be “overjoyed” if Perry were to show up for one of the band’s tour stops. I was […]
New Matthew Sweet album set for release on September 20th
Modern rock, pop….hell, whatever you want to call it, you’ll probably be happy to know that Matthew Sweet has a new album coming out on September 20th. And perhaps, you’ll be even happier to know that to these ears at least, the album sounds pretty damn good. Sweet’s last album ‘Sunshine Lies’ didn’t quite hit […]
CD Review: The Outfield, ‘Replay’
Has it really been 25 years since ‘Play Deep,’ the debut album from British power pop trio, The Outfield? Or 22 years since the last new material that founding members John Spinks (guitars), Tony Lewis (bass) and Alan Jackman (drums) have recorded together—the buoyant ‘Voices of Babylon?’ It has. And while I feel old typing […]
Going “Under The Blade” With Twisted Sister
With the release of Big Hits and Nasty Cuts in the early ’90s, it seemed like it might be the end of the line for Twisted Sister fans, better known within the circle as “SMFs” and the prospects of any further TS releases. But as the reissues market continued to crank up, an archival live […]
