Are you one of those people who gives a resounding "Yes!" to the question "Do you want fries with that?" When you notice the 30-cent difference between the large size soda and the Big Gulp size soda at the gas station, do you put down the large and grab the Big Gulp? Do you ever look at your carefully cultivated collection of albums and think, "Gee, I wish someone would reissue this with tons o...
Right, so I know this is probably a redundant post ... & I know this is a song constantly covered by so many different bands the list must be endless at this point ... but has that _ever_ stopped me before ... *NOPE !!! ;)*I still remember the day in jr high, very sunny, on the back of the bus heading home ... Mike Smith, the youngest & cutest of the Smith clan had me give it a listen. He ha...
every time we listen a good record or watch a great rock band live, you can think "oh... i would love to play in that band... i can donate my entire organs just to be part of that".... but let's face it... let's put our feet down... everyone's got a particular personality and we've gotta know where and with whom we can fit in... so i've always think about that... in my fantasies, in which rock...
So here we are Sunday night, and MOG is back up and running. Almost a whole day without our beloved MOG, and you are still trying to say you are not addicted. I have a feeling many of you have been spending a better part of your day staring at a little hamster by the name of Schloopy. I can say for myself that I had tried numerous times to get on, and was disappointed everytime I was denied. I ...
I always have mixed feelings when I hear a commercial using a song by one of my old favorite artists. On the one hand, I get the smug, superior "I knew this song before it was cool and before it was ever used for marketing" feeling; but on the other hand, I also get the sick, depressed "Oh god, this great song is being used to sell [whatever]" feeling. (Sometimes the choices are just laughabl...
"The Commercial Hotel" in Stalybridge on the outskirts of Manchester was a quiet bikers pub where you could consume copious amount of ale and watch fine local rock bands doing what they did because they enjoyed it.One particular Saturday night the "Buzzcuts" were playing,"Sorry luv, I spelt it wrong on the poster,it's Buzzcocks,they're spunk rockers"said the landlady.They were shite.I mean real...

I saw the Buzzcocks 3 or 4 times in the late 70's and then last Friday when they played cover-to-cover performances of March 1978 debut "Another Music in a Different Kitchen" and that year's September follow-up "Love Bites." Both albums, along with 1979's "A Different Kind of Tension," where reissued in the UK as two-disc editions with bonus tracks, demos and live cuts in 2008..The tour, which ...
