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...

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 ...

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...

I made roughly my 54th trip (since patronizing it) to Bull Moose Music for the 2nd annual National Record Store Day (see last year's post - http://mog.com/blog_posts/156641). Bands from Cali to Maine (where I'm at) were performing, signing, and chillin'. That's not all. There were supposed to be a ton of exclusives (mostly 7"'s) from bands like Whiskeytown, Flaming Lips, The Smiths, Jesus Li...
