New discovery...Tricot
(Preview)
I like the idea of these "new discovery" threads. I'm on record as not being exposed to enough different/new stuff in 2013...so I'm making more of an effort to snoop around & find things this year. Came across this group yesterday. Maybe a little off-center for the board, as they're a l...

New discovery...Warm Soda
(Preview)
New to me, at least. Just heard about these guys on a power pop Facebook group I'm in. The record I'll link below is almost a year old, & a new one's out in March. GOOD STUFF. http://warmsoda.bandcamp.com/album/someone-for-you

Music Biographies
(Preview)
I just finished reading the new KISS book "Nothin' To Lose", & started "Look Wut I Dun" - the autobiography of Slade's drummer Don Powell. Anyone else a sucker for the "rock 'n' roll bio" wing of the library?

under rated rockers
(Preview)
Elliott Easton is an under rated guitarist in my book. Since The Cars got labeled "new wave" and seemed like more of a keyboard band, I feel his work gets under appreciated. Listen to the solo on "Touch and go".. blistering!

Artist Of The Week #2 : Slade
(Preview)
Bit of a weird story on this bunch, as I came along waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay after their heyday. Even though I was somewhat familiar with them in a general way ( was aware they were huge in the early 70's within the whole "glam rock" deal...knew that Quiet Riot's "Come On Feel The Noise"...

An Album Cover (favorites)
(Preview)
Looking at my avatar as I was posting it occurred to me that we should share favorite album covers. Apart from the current avatar I am using (the Fly by Night cover) I am a fan of this one I like many of the Rush Album covers. What are your favorites?

Love and Hate
(Preview)
Love and Hate: Which bands/artists have the most songs that you love and hate? Try to think in terms of not just bands that have a bunch of songs you love, and a few obscure ones you hate. That's always going to happen.I'm thinking of bands where it's much more balanced - where the songs you hate were big hi...

2013...Weak year for new tunes?
(Preview)
Last year, it seemed like the theme of my year-end "Best Of" list was "New Albums From Old Favorites". But man, I've had a hell of a time finding new tunes that give me a tingly feeling in my down-unders this year. I mean, I think I'm gonna have difficulty even coming up with a "...

Best Rock Pseudonym/Alter Ego?
(Preview)
What's the best rock band member pseudonym? I'm not thinking a band like GWAR where everyone has a stage name - and I don't mean legal or unofficial name changes like David Jones/Bowie or Gene Simmons/Chaim Witz, either. And not nicknames that the member had before the band, either (I know - lots of rul...

Artist of the Week #1: Deep Purple (10/20/13 - 10/26/13)
(Preview)
This is the first in what will hopefully be many Artists of the Week. The Artist of the Week is where someone chooses a band or a musician, and everybody else posts their favorite songs and/or albums by that artist. Or, if the artist is someone who isn't exactly YouTube-friendly, we can just have a nice l...

The Great Crusades
(Preview)
Do you have a band/artist that's a personal favorite that you try to get people into whenever you can? I know I do...here's 3 off the top of my head. 1. THE WILDHEARTS. This band had a good amount of success in the UK over the last 20 years or so. A few legit hit tunes, & a fan base that still goes pretty str...
