Album Of The Week – February 28, 2022

On February 28, 2022February 26, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week3 Comments

This week I'm going back 21 years to an album that revitalized a band's fortunes and heralded a coming revival in thrash metal. That revival is still in full swing for both the genre and the band. An old dog came out of the wilderness of the '90's, learned a few new tricks, and kickstarted …

Memories – Straight To Hell

On February 25, 2022February 24, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories1 Comment

I'm winding down the main crux of my Memories series now. There is only really one more part to go after this one. This page recounts my older posts about what I've listened to over the years. This time I'm going to get into the years 2006-2010, which brought a very radical series of changes …

Upcoming Releases Spring/Summer 22

On February 23, 2022February 20, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Upcoming Music5 Comments

The year is winding on and we're about out of winter in this part of the globe. Music is still coming out hot and heavy as artists pent up from pandemic tour disruptions have turned to recording to get their fix. I've got a bit from several walks of the sonic aisle to cover this …

Album Of The Week – February 21, 2022

On February 21, 2022February 21, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week3 Comments

This week I'm going back to 1994 and taking a look at a landmark album that marked a huge transformation for the band on offer. A band once firmly in the hardcore and punk scenes would now ply their trade in stoner and southern metal and totally redefine their sound and identity. The album is …

A Story And A Song, Vol. 4

On February 18, 2022February 17, 2022 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song1 Comment

We had a good round of winter weather in my area (and across much of the U.S.) a few weeks ago, and are seeing more as winter slowly rolls away into spring. That got me thinking about an odd little story from another notable winter storm many years ago. And as a result, here is …

Back From The Dead? The CD re-examined

On February 16, 2022February 16, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting8 Comments

One thing I've meant to write more about but haven't got to much of is the topic of collecting. Though the issue of collecting is not necessary to discuss music, it is an important part of music for me and many other people. Music collecting looked to be going the way of the dinosaur roughly …

Album Of The Week – February 14, 2022

On February 14, 2022February 13, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week4 Comments

This week I'm going back to the second album from the band that would go on to become my favorite musical act ever. The album got solid reviews from critics and fans but would be the end of a brief beginning era for the group, who would soon re-tool and launch their signature sound on …

Crypto Sells, But Who’s Buying?

On February 9, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Controversy6 Comments

This is barely even about music, it's mostly just about one of those dumb things I did on purpose not too long ago. At least I did this one on purpose. So in this day and age cryptocurrency is a big deal. Some people have made millions off of it, plenty of people have money …

Album Of The Week – February 7, 2022

On February 7, 2022February 6, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week2 Comments

In music, as in life, things end. Bands split up, people pass away, movements come and go. It's an inevitable thing we all have to reckon with in both music fandom and in our lives. Except the Scorpions. They don't go away. The German rock and metal juggernaut is due to release a new album …
