I am sure you have heard all the hubbub, but maybe you never quite knew what it was all about, this thing, this MANIA called the Beatles. If you have been thinking of getting into the Beatles (and I mean really into the Beatles, not just buying their latest Greatest hits compilation) this is not the Beatles’ Top 12 Best Albums, and I am not reviewing each album. This is just the order you need to buy them in, in order to feel the full effect of what they did.

The chronological order in which they were originally released seems like the most sensible way to do it. But this isn’t sensible. If you get into the Beatles you have to be prepared for a little disjointedness and things that come out of left field. You don’t have to follow this guide exactly, and as you will see, I give you opportunities to make your own choice. Also, this is just the original Beatles Music we are talking about here, not Let It Be…Naked, or the Love Album. Having said that, I give you…The List: Read the rest of this entry

Spring is here and summers on its way. If you are like me that means grillin and chillin. In this episode I’ve cooked up a music playlist that include a few ingredients perfect for this occasion – blues and beer.

And for a few ideas on what you can put on the grill, check out the BBQ tips over on my buddy James’ blog, DoubleDanger.

Anyway, get the brew flowin and your mojo goin. Press play now.

Off night…
Note to Fu Manchu; I screwed up when I announced your song. I should have said “Hung Out to Dry” but I said “Means to an End.” I owe you one. Also, note to Adreneline Factor; I screwed up when I didn’t mention your name or the song (At least its in the show notes right?) I owe you one too.

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

For those of you who have the slightest taste for great hard rock, you need to check out the band Airbourne ASAP. They kinda look like AC/DC, they kinda sound like AC/DC, and they effing rock like AC/DC (maybe even more as of late).

From the first song through the last they don’t let their foot of the pedal. Hard driving, king size cockrock with a capital C. I am addicted.

Download the whole thing because every song kicks ass. Trust me.

For those of you in Twin Cities area – or in the upper midwest – these guys will be at The Rock Nightclub in Maplewood, MN on the April 12th with another great new band EndeverafteR (check out podcast 015). That should be a great show and I am not going to miss it. In fact I am going to buy six tickets right now.

If anyone wants to hook up at the show or ride up with me let me know. I’d like to get nice group together. And with tickets only being $8 measly dollars there should be no excuses. Hell maybe we can get a few rooms and really party.

Lets try to hook up a caravan and ride up there together.

Over the past few months I have discovered a some damn good music on MySpace. Today, I want to share five of my favorite discoveries with you.

If you are wondering how I picked them I can only say there is no rhyme or reason, no new or old, and no discretion concerning Indie or mainstream. No real boundaries at all. These are just a bunch of songs that I heard that caught my attention. Check them out. Read the rest of this entry

I have been seriously ignoring my eMusicaccount for sometime now. So the other night, I figured it was time to get back in there and take a look around. I found a ton of great music and today I am going to tell you about one artist in particular;.

You may have heard of Mr. Legend. He has won five Grammy’s, has a platinum record and has worked with superstars such as Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and Jay-Z. He has quite a resume’ and for good reason.

Before he hit the bigtime his Read the rest of this entry
