Fun visual interpretations inspired by my vinyl collection
Turning this one up loud! 😁
Lynyrd Skynyrd captured at the peak of their powers over a three day run in Atlanta. A favorite of mine, and feel it is one of the top live rock albums the 70s produced - and that is a stacked category!
Rock on, all!

It was Etta's final album with Chess, so reviewers felt there was a bit of "get me out of here" vibe - but this is Etta doing funk with a socially concsience bent... which I find awesome! 😁

Welcome, boils and ghouls, to another spine-tingling review! Tonight’s horrifying hit is a graveyard smash of ghoulish grooves and sinister synths!
Carpenter’s music is sharper than a machete on prom night - minimal, menacing, and marvelously macabre!
Enjoy kiddies... heh heh heh 💀

Awesome 1963 horrorfest from the ever creative folks at Famous Monsters - a magazine I read growing up that fueled my love of horror films
A kitchy radio play with great voice acting. Side one is a Frankenstein's Monster story, and side two with Dracula
Happy Halloween All!

So grateful for these Johnny Cash/Rick Rubin "American" series albums for providing a send-off worthy of a legend

Lou Reed was fiercly angry at the state of America, as reflected in this brutal takedown of the 80s Reagan era
AIDS, consumerism/capitalism, NRA, pollution, Trump, racism - all addressed in densely packed, pissed off lyrics that result in an evergreen protest album.

An excellent Halloween themed album from Duran Duran - spinning it as well as the recently released "expansion" album (from Record Store Day) quite a bit these weeks to get into the spirit!

As a child of the 80s, I have welcomed and enjoyed the whole synthwave trend over the last decade+, as it mined the music of that era and provided a modern spin
This new album from The Midnight does just that, and with each listen, it is rapidly becoming my favorite album of 2025

Some terrific live Ertha Kitt from 1962 - just love it!
She was a great live performer, and this album of her big hits captures that wonderfully (couldn't find this album on streaming, so posting the studio version of "I Want to be Evil")
Also - Best.CatWomen.Ever! Just facts

Picked up this one because I needed a rock fix, and it was just the medicine!
With a heavy focus on their new material from "Who's Next", the band was at the peak of their powers, and sound terrific!

By 1966, Otis was working to expand his audience, and take control of his career. The Whiskey A Go Go was primarily a rock venue, with a mostly white audience - you can really hear him going for it to reach them
The result is a wildly fun and energetic album that hits on soul, R&B and rock

Given the scathing reviews of the new album from Arcade Fire, it will likely not reverse the "diminishing returns" of their last several releases - personally, as a fan of the group, I found enough to enjoy on the album, but wouldn"t put it with their best

After 50+ years, there is an official re-release of the first, and only, pairing of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks
The album was a bust at launch (which is surprising to me), but very glad it has been newly released - high recommend for all FM fans

Just some good fun

An album that defined a movement - while modern cynism looks back at the 60s as naive and hypocritical, I wish I could have experienced it - something to be said for authentically championing love and peace - especially compared to whatever people belive today...

Adam Granduciel has a producing credit on this one, and it is evident in the soaring, War On Drugs-ish choruses - which are great!
