It’s that time of year again, where Spotify releases their yearly wrap-up of our music listening habits, which is called Spotify Wrapped. It’s obviously inaccurate because they release them in late November / early December, which is technically not the end of the year, and they don’t include music listening habits through CD and/or vinyl....

First of all, I’m nowhere near as good as my friend, John from 2loud2oldmusic, when it comes to these music purchases blog posts. However, November was a special month because three of these albums were from a record store in San Francisco and two of them were from eBay. I didn't just buy stuff from... Continue Reading →
The album closer is just as important as the album opener because if the last song sucks, listeners may feel disappointed, like they wasted time on that one record that ended on a sour note. This a follow-up to a previous post I did titled, My Top 10 Album Openers. Now, I’ll focus on my... Continue Reading →
Aerosmith just announced that they are postponing all of their currently scheduled dates for their Peace Out farewell tour to sometime in 2024, due to frontman Steven Tyler’s vocal injury. On September 11, 2023, the band previously announced that Tyler sustained vocal cord damage during their September 9 show in New York at the UBS... Continue Reading →
One of the greatest southern rock bands of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd, are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their iconic debut album, (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd), which was released on August 13, 1973. This is a band that has been through hell and back. Whenever success came knocking at their door, it was followed by tragedies... Continue Reading →

While I love their classic stuff with original singer Ronnie Van Zant, I also really dig their songs with Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie’s younger brother. However, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s decision to reform and carry... Continue Reading →
I don’t do album ranking posts often because I don’t believe in collecting every single studio album by a band, unless it’s absolutely necessary. Heck, I don’t even own all of Def Leppard’s studio albums. But, I own enough to the point where I could rank them for a blog post and that’s what I’m... Continue Reading →
Album openers are very important because if you start off with the wrong song, listeners will lose interest and they won’t give the rest of the album a chance. Sometimes, people will buy an album because they enjoyed the first song so much that they didn’t need to hear anything else. Even if the rest... Continue Reading →
Chris Alo from Sea of Tranquility always said to never include a photo of the band on their album cover because it’ll date faster. I say he’s partially right. It all depends on the clothes, how the band poses in the picture, the band logo, and the overall aesthetic of it. Some album covers that... Continue Reading →
So, I woke up this morning at 8:00 a.m. and scrolled through my phone as usual. I saw a Twitter notification from Aerosmith with the phrase "PEACE OUT!" Curious, I clicked on the notification and found that the American rock band just announced a farewell tour with The Black Crowes as the opening act. The... Continue Reading →
