New Music Tuesday
Just like on Sesame Street, three of these kids (let’s say Linkin Park, Maroon 5 and The Offspring) are doing the same thing like they’ve been doing for their entire careers. That is to release a new CD on a major label, tour and advertise it on radio and magazines. But times have times changed [...]

Ziggy Stardust
I hated Rock of Ages (yes, I actually saw it). I understand it was supposed to be lightweight fun but Tom Cruise did not carry any of the gravitas of a true rock star. YouTube has a concert video of Guns N’ Roses from 1988 and Axl Rose just immediately grabs your attention. You know [...]

New Music Tuesday
“Don’t call it a comeback…” Well I kind of have to when it comes to new releases from Fiona Apple, Neneh Cherry, Sophie B. Hawkins and Men Without Hats(?!?). Fiona Apple records are kind of like Halley’s Comet, although they do arrive a little more frequently than every 76 years, they are greatly anticipated. Even [...]
