This post was inspired by two things. One, The Black Crowes recently announced their ninth studio album of original material titled, Happiness Bastards, which will be released on March 15, 2024. Two, Sea of Tranquility posted a video last week titled, “The UK Connection-Turn That S*#t Off!,” where Pete talked about how he tried numerous... Continue Reading →
Ever since I saw Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) in theaters with my parents, I’ve wanted to see Queen + Adam Lambert live so badly. Five years later, that dream finally came true! It was even better that Lambert was their current frontman, since he was one of my favorite contestants from American Idol. He should’ve won,... Continue Reading →
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 →

This a follow-up to a previous post I did titled, My Top 10 Album Openers. Now, I’ll focus on my... 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 →
I’ve heard the name Lynyrd Skynyrd throughout my whole life, but I didn’t dive into their catalog until after Gary Rossington’s death. 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 →
