Album Of The Week – March 28, 2022

On March 28, 2022March 27, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week8 Comments

This week I'm taking a dive into the album that really hooked me into music. I talked about it in an older post, now it's time to get specific and go over the album in greater detail. I got the cassette as a Christmas gift a few months after its release and I played it …

Upcoming Releases, Further Into 2022

On March 25, 2022March 25, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Upcoming Music5 Comments

The month of March is winding down and music acts are offering up new albums left and right. It's a mixed bag this time around with no central focus on any one sound. Some big boys are coming out to play in the later stages of the pandemic and it looks like tours might fire …

Price Points

On March 23, 2022March 22, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting6 Comments

I've done a few posts about money and prices of a few different things recently. I thought I'd do a few quick updates and also discuss the insane prices of a few records. But first, I'll provide two quick recaps of prices I covered awhile back. Megadeth cryptocurrency As I wrote in the original post, …

Album Of The Week – March 21, 2022

On March 21, 2022March 21, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week2 Comments

For this week's pick I'm revisiting someone who has become my favorite artist in recent memory. She has released a wide selection of music across several projects over the past 15 years and has not been shy to explore new styles and soundscapes. Today I will be looking at her third solo album, which kicked …

On March 16, 2022March 15, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Memories5 Comments

It's time for another concert recap, this time I'm going back to 2005 when I went to see one of metal's legends live. It was my first and to date only time seeing him. The tour was supported by 3 bands that have gone on to become bigger names in the extreme metal community. There …

Is the Vinyl Bubble ready to burst?

On March 15, 2022March 15, 2022 By bigbadburchIn collecting8 Comments

The price of vinyl records and the scant supply remains a hot button issue in the music world. Prices of records, even fairly recent reissues, are causing eyes to pop out of heads. Even a run through stuff I bought at retail prices last year is making me consider offloading some stuff at inflated secondary …

Album Of The Week – March 14, 2022

On March 14, 2022March 13, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week3 Comments

1999 was an interesting time. The turn of the decade, century and millennium was one of great transition. One facet of culture at this time was the “edgebro” - stuff like nu-metal, WWF, Spike TV and The Man Show were running hot around this time. We were welcomed to Jackass, Eminem was beginning his shock-rap …

A Story And A Song – In The Summertime

On March 9, 2022March 8, 2022 By bigbadburchIn A Story And A Song4 Comments

Today's story revolves around a friend's hi-jinks and one of the biggest selling singles ever. The song is the 1970 smash hit In The Summertime by Mungo Jerry. The UK track set the world on fire and sold over 30 million copies, an absolutely ridiculous number for a single. It hit the top of the …

Album Of The Week – March 6, 2022

On March 7, 2022March 6, 2022 By bigbadburchIn Album of the Week4 Comments

Today's album is widely-regarded as the magnum opus of a legendary singer's solo career. This crown jewel of an album, coupled with the low-water mark his former band was at in the late 90's, would result in a reunion and a new legacy. Bruce Dickinson – The Chemical Wedding Released September 25, 1998 via Air …
