I don’t know about everyone else, but for me, 2025 has been off to a rough start. With February right around the corner, it’s time for a major change. If you’re in the same boat, let’s fight back and regain control of our lives! Say goodbye to all of the negativity and sufferings you’ve been... Continue Reading →
Charlie’s Good Tonight: The Life, the Times, and The Rolling Stones (2022) is the authorized biography of the late great Charlie Watts by Paul Sexton. Published one year after his death, the book details Watts’ life from beginning to end, and it features forewords by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. No offense to the band... Continue Reading →
It’s that time of year again, people! Spotify released their yearly wrap-ups of our music listening habits, simply titled, “Spotify Wrapped.” Like last year, the calculations aren’t entirely accurate because they came out in early December, more specifically December 4, 2024. Also, CD and vinyl listens weren’t included in the calculations. However, it’s always fun... Continue Reading →
When The Black Crowes began their initial run of Happiness Bastards tour dates in April 2024, I watched them like a hawk. You know, checked out the setlists, made sure everything was running smoothly, and prayed they would eventually bring the Happiness Bastards tour to Las Vegas. Lo and behold, they announced a second run... Continue Reading →
Coming up with my dream setlist for The Black Crowes was incredibly difficult. I pretty much knew the songs I wanted to include, but they already played most of them live, particularly on their Happiness Bastards tour (part one and two, aka The Reprise), because they love to spice up their shows by throwing in...

For those of you that don’t know, Def Leppard are my favorite band of all time. I love to talk about them and I love to complain about them. It’s a love/hate relationship. I think about them 24/7, but my Def Leppard kick has been incredibly strong these past couple of months. It got me... Continue Reading →
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson’s first solo album, Paper. It was released on August 24, 2004. This was an important album for Rich because at the time, The Black Crowes were on their first hiatus. It could be argued that he was constantly in the shadow of his older... Continue Reading →
Haters can say all they want about AC/DC. Their music is boring. They’ve made the same album 17 times (or however many studio albums they have). They’re devil worshipers and all that nonsense. But, believe it or not, rock ‘n’ roll would not have been the same without AC/DC. Heck, pop culture wouldn’t have been... Continue Reading →
Let’s get this out of the way; I only bought Geddy Lee’s My Effin’ Life (2023) book because of Sea of Tranquility. In fact, more than half of my music purchases from the past 2-3 years were because of Sea of Tranquility. I’m not a Rush fan (yet), by any means, but I’m trying to... Continue Reading →
May wasn’t a drastic month for music purchases, but I found some cool stuff. I guess, I was in the mood for taking risks because I purchased a few albums from bands that are out of my comfort zone. I also picked up a special item for my Def Leppard collection, which I didn’t even... Continue Reading →
