I don't have a “real” post today, I'm gearing up for next week. It's a big one as next Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of this blog. It'll be a post every day next week and work/time constraints along with the insane baseball trade deadline have my attention pulled in a million different directions. But …

Disfear and Doomriders – All Paths Lead To Nothing, There Is Only Death
It's that time of the week to dig into another offering from my singles collection. Today it's the good old split single – two bands each offer a song, the vinyl gets pressed and here we are years later looking over the results. Split singles and even albums have been a consistent feature of the …

Megadeth – Night Stalkers
I had to switch post order up a bit, the reason why will be clear in a few weeks. This was originally supposed to be about Woodstock '99, but with a new additional documentary about to hit streaming, I decided to put off my post about the existing one. Instead I'll talk some about a …
Album Of The Week – July 25, 2022
This week's pick is one that was always going to wind up here, the only question was when. I could write about the album in my sleep and I could probably write this without hitting play on it (though I will). But all the fuss raised up over the title track's use in a hit …
Album Rankings – Motley Crüe
I'm going to debut a new series today, though it's one that might not stick around in written form for too long. My original intent was to do these as videos but time to make them proves ever-elusive, and I'm tired of sitting on this content that I originally compiled a year ago. This will …
Guns N Roses – Civil War
I figured I would jump in with what a lot of other bloggers do and start going through my collection of music singles. It's a pretty easy way for me to add another post each week – just pick out something and talk a bit about it. For the first few months I'll go over …
A Story And A Song – Can I Play With Madness?
Today's song is a good one – it's one of the singles from Iron Maiden's 1988 masterpiece Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son. It's one of the more recognizable tunes from the record and a fantastic track. And the video is notable too - it features Monty Python standout Graham Chapman and is one of …

Album Of The Week – July 18, 2022
This week I'm going to “cheat” and save myself some time by talking about an EP. It might be short in length but its significance to metal is vast. Queensryche – self-titled Released September 1983 via 206 Records The EP was a demo in the true sense of the term – the band then known …
What Goes Up Must Come Down – Vinyl Prices In 2022
I've written about this a few times now but it's time again to look at the price of vinyl. It's a massive topic in the world of music collecting (obviously) and it's been a thorn in the side of many a collector for the past while. I know I feel the pinch and have tightened …

Album Of The Week – July 11, 2022
This week I'm time traveling back to 1998. I was just kind of listening to whatever at the time, I was far more pre-occupied with “grown up” business than I was music. But of the handful of things to catch my ear, this alt-rock gem really grabbed my attention. It also grabbed the attention of …
