It doesn't really happen anymore but, once upon a time, artists occasionally went to war with their labels, often resulting in some amazing musical artifacts. Here are two of my faves: 1. Rolling…Continue

thank you for your comment Jon! I hope i could do some more discoberies that you´d like too. I´m writing a little blog about some new releases of powerpop music, if you want to take a look: http://powerpopes.blogspot.com,
and so i want to note you that the Bandcamp player is not for only one track, so you can listen to the whole album in there. Please, if you didn´t know it, listen to the Luther Russell album, or you can just link it to the Bandcamp page. I think is brilliant!

Daniel Crandall said… Hey Jon, thanks!
yep indeed, our lists are strikingly similar. You have The Sonics on there!
To answer your question, Project Rock and Roll is my blog/umbrella for my various DIY rock projects. I gab about music I like and stuff I learn about, recording, promotion and whatever else comes my way. It's a work in progress ;)
Btw, I grew up in Fort Collins! Back in the early 90s I was in a band in FC called Nyborg that I'm sure only about 4 people remember. Cheers!

So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
