Another Week Another Vinyl: Nektar: Remember the Future
I finally ended up buying a turntable. So what was the first thing I had to do before hooking it up? Go to my local record store of course (Atomic CD's in Pt. Pleasant NJ)! I vowed to myself that I wouldn't let this turntable get to my head, so I decided that I would only allow myself to buy one vinyl each week. I also thought that buying one vinyl each week would be a good oppurtunity to shar...

B.B. King: One Kind Favor Review
T-Bone Burnett has experienced quite a bit of success lately as a producer. He produced Mellencamp’s raw folk and old blues inspired Life, Death, Love and Freedom, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Raising Sand, and B.B. King’s latest effort One Kind Favor. Burnett has seemingly given each album an effortless, raw, and old fashioned sound. Burnett accomplishes all three with BB King, and once

Vinyl Is Back
It's true, vinyl is back, and while I would like to say stronger than ever, it's at least much stronger than it was a few years ago. The Wall Street Journal recently announced vinyl sales had doubled in 2007 and more and more bands are running around trying to release their albums on this once practically deceased medium. It's almost odd that this news would come after the digital media market ...

David Gilmour: Live in Gdansk Review
Ironically I received this album to review the day Rick Wright had passed away. For those who don't know, Wright performed with Gilmour on his solo tour and is included on this album.Seeing David Gilmour (with Wright) a few years back at Radio City Music Hall is undoubtedly one of the greatest moments of my life. Gilmour allowed his performance to stand on its own--no flying pigs, no fireworks...

RIP Richard Wright 1943-2008
Richard Wright (Keyboardist of Pink Floyd) has sadly passed away today due to his battle with cancer. He was just sixty-five years old and one of the backbones of Floyd. He may not have been one of the most recognizable members, but all fans of Floyd will appreciate what he brought to the table. It is such a shame that he had to die so young...

Caves: Get On With It Review
Just when we thought that the new wave revival was simmering down, here come Caves. The Killers followed up their indie new wave creation Hot Fuss with a more americana rock inspired Sam’s Town. We’ve heard less from bands like Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs over the past year. But just because the new wave revival had already hit its crescendo doesn’t mean bands aren’t still worki

Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s: The Daytrotter Sessions EP Review
I’ve been both thinking and listening to Metallica a lot lately. Lucky for me I received a new CD in the mail by Margot & The Nuclear So and So’s called The Daytrotter Sessions EP. Don’t count on me typing that band name out again, in the future I will refer to them simply as Margot. This band couldn’t be any more different than Metallica, and that has been a blessing for me. It’s finall

Second Metallica Single Available
Another new single from Metallica's newest album Death Magnetic has been released. The song is entitled "My Apocalypse" and can be seen on their website, and here is the direct address to the song, Metallica: My Apocalypse. The song has a much more thrash sound than the first single "The Day that Never Comes". The guitar solo on "My Apocalypse" also sounds a lot better than the one heard on "Th

Kristoffer Ragnstam: Wrong Side of the Room Review
Kristoffer Ragnstam’s music cannot be broken down with ease, and he can’t be compared to anyone out in the industry today. He has the postmodern sound which the young hipsters who are too cool for popularity eat up. The eclectic nature and post modern sound of his work can earn him comparisons with Beck, but the comparison can only be assessed with vague and broad descriptions. Wrong Side of t

New Metallica Single Available
Metallica has just released their newest single "The Day that Never Comes". You can it out on the bands MySpace. It sounds good, better than that Load of crap (pun intended) that has been the past twelve years. It sounds like they might be trying to reach back to their classic 80s sound. We can only hope that their new album Death Magnetic due for release on September 12th will be like the ...

G Tom Mac: Thou Shalt Not Fall Review
When looking through possible CD’s that would spark my interest I stumbled across G Tom Mac’s Thou Shalt Not Fall. I dug a little deeper into his bio/press kit and witnessed a quote from Roger Daltrey of The Who. Daltrey said, "Gerard (aka G Tom Mac) seems to always have his finger on the pulse of whats about to happen musically, and an incredible amount of strength in his writing and voice."

New BB King Album Set for Release on August 26th
The King of the Blues is set to release a new album featuring covers of old blues songs from B.B. King’s early influences. With production by T Bone Burnett (Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello) the set revisits the music that influenced B.B. in the 1950s, the beginning of King’s extraordinary professional journey that, literally, changed the texture of modern blues playi
