I have to give it to the fine gentleman in Bad Religion. Not only have they created some of my all-time favorite records, they also seem to love the East Coast music scene. First they picked Halifax’s The Hemingways to open up the show at the Forum and now they bestowed that same honor on Moncton’s The Motorleague when they play in Quebec.Bottom line: The Motorleague - behind the strength of t
A standing ovation by a sold out audience is one of the greatest acknowledgments a filmmaker may ask for and that is exactly what producer John S. Rushton, director/writer Richard Clabaugh, editor/writer Fran Clabaugh, executive producer M. Todd Tucker and stars Adrian Paul ("Highlander"), Megan Blake ("Taledega Nights") and Luke Eberl ("Planet of the Apes") of the widely anticipated near-futur...

Bad Religion: New Maps Of Hell(Epitaph 2007)If you've heard even a chunk of the nearly 200 songs that Bad Religion have released in their 25-year, 14-album career, you know their dilemma. It's how to avoid stale rehashing when producing new permutations of the various awesome elements of their trademark sound, such as massive hooks, the acute sense of melody, and the incredible three-part voca...
W00t w00t!! The details have finally been leaked about Bad Religion's new album this year. I am really looking forward to this.Bad Religion is probably my most favorite band ever. They've been playing the finest, hardest, most intellectual punk for 27 years now. Look at how they've progressed...From 1980, where Greg Graffin, the lead singer, is a stupid little 15-year-old punk kid and the b...

I have been going to the Vans Warped Tour for years now. As I have gotten older, I have begun to stick out like a sore thumb. With the average age of concert goers hovering around 16, I look like I am auditioning for Dateline NBC, To Catch A Predator. I don't mind, and have always enjoyed going for the music while maybe getting a chance to chat it up with an artist or two. Still loved the year ...
The other day I picked up BR's "The Gray Race" at Repo Records on South Street in Philadelphia, a great record store for those visiting (I'm sure residents are already in the know). I remembered hearing 'A Walk' on the radio a while back, and though it was never one of my favorite songs, I picked up the album to try and complete my BR album collection. I'm happy I got the album, but it is certa...
It's being called the largest fire in the history of the region. In a bit of positive news, the latest word is that the Angeles National Forest blaze will be under control sooner (next Tuesday) rather than later (the original estimate of September 15). But it's still fire season in Southern California, and there are a couple more flaming emergencies happening in the area. The temperature is als...
About 2 months ago, I had this insane idea to listen to all of my dust collecting albums in alphabetical order. It took 33 days, but the B's are complete. On top of all of this, I'm taking November and December off to listen to nothing but 2009 albums (prepping for my Best of list). Looks like this venture will be complete in early 2012 (if I'm lucky).Here are some stats to the B list.Total B...
