    Concert Review: Airbourne and Endeverafter Flat Out Rock

    By Corey Koehler | April 16, 2008

    I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts with you concerning the Airbourne and EndeverafteR show I attended the other night at The Rock Night Club in Maplewood, MN.

    The guys from EndeverafteR were polished and extremely entertaining. Throughout the show all I was thinking was “these guys get it.” Speaking as a child of the 80’s hard rock/metal scene, these guys could hang with the best of them. Read the rest of this entry »

    You Music Review: Breaking Laces

    By Corey Koehler | March 23, 2008

    It is almost impossible to keep up with all of the review requests I get. Most of the time I just take a quick listen to see if there is anything I can use in my podcast. If it is really good, I will write something if I REALLY think it is worth it. But today I want to give you the chance to participate.

    Starting with this post I to give you the opportunity to read and hear the music review requests I get from artists. I’ll call it the “You Music Review.”

    Here’s how me can do it, Rather than me spending hours upon hours writing about why I like it and why you should, why don’t I let you play the roll of reviewer. I will post a portion of the review request on the blog, you can check it out and then - love it or hate it - put your comments below.

    To make it interesting I will be posting requests from different genres. For those of you interested in doing a more full scale review I have a bunch of CD’s at home that I could send you to review.

    Today I start with Read the rest of this entry »

    The Beatles’ Studio Revolution of 1962

    By treadmarkz | March 12, 2008

    Guest post: Treadmarkz is a Human Beatles Encyclopedia and author of the weblog Treadmarkz.wordpress.com

    Buddy Holly wrote his own songs. Chuck Berry wrote his own songs. Little Richard wrote his own songs. Paul McCartney and John Lennon, being devoted followers of all three, began writing their own songs early, and often. McCartney wrote rough versions of “I’ll Follow the Sun” and “When I’m Sixty-Four” in about 1957. And many of the originals from the Beatles first album were written by John and Paul around that same time. They knew that it set them apart from the other up-and-coming bands.

    But rock n’ roll had changed drastically by 1960. Holly was dead, Berry was in jail, Little Richard had become a preacher, and Read the rest of this entry »
