Oh, are you junkies ever gonna wanna get a loada this,Awright so, trollin' around the interwebs lately, I found a bunch o' stuff to satisfy yer urges but some of it is really fuckin' cool an' I know there are a couple o' guys at this 'ere publication will agree wit' me. Like fi' dollar Billy (sorry – he's tryin' to be respectable these days an' asks everybody to call him 'Bill Adams, Editor-In-Chief – geez whatta mouthful) for example;...
The Marked Men are a lost cause. Here we had one of the most catchy and true bands, reaching their stride, and no one noticed. Their last album Ghosts came and went, and not only did it go unnoticed in the musical mainstream, but it didn’t even make a dent in the punk rock audience (save for a few passionate mentions in Razorcake). It’s a real shame too, because Ghosts had some of the most brilliant, honest, toe-tapping, buzz-pop songs...

Troy arrived next and the three of us went through security easy peasy. Had Lo Mein and eggplant sandwiches at the Lounge....

A pro in the music business makes it look easy but, for a real pro, it is easy. They have the music imbued so deeply in their fiber that all they have to do is walk on stage, or into a studio, and the magic just happens. They just have fun and we get pure musical pleasure. Jerry Lee Lewis is a real pro and on his new duets album, Mean Old Man, he proves it. The main emotion that...
Remember your favorite Nineties alternative rock band? I’ll give you a minute. Got it? Was it Nirvana ― with their disposed "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ― or maybe Hole? Maybe Weezer made the list, or perhaps the Smashing Pumpkins. There might be some Red Hot Chili Peppers single fixated in your mind at this exact moment. Now put that band in the context of the present, and I’ll bet you my my entire music collection that there’s a mote...
