Boogaloo Omnibus & Girlsoul have lost all their sense & invited me to blast a special birthday set of old 45s with them! With Josh Styles, an innocent bystander, on the bill, too! They call it Discophonic Walk & it’s Friday, May 24, 11PM-4AM @ The Commodore, 366 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11211. FREE!

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…

Classy, sophiscated, and Elegant. That is the best way to describe the

Esquire Tavern. San Antonio’s upscale bar which is across the street from Chase

bank. Two stores down from Jerry’s Hot Dog establishment and around the corner

from the Majestic Theatre. Before this establishment became cool and…

The Deadbeat Poets & "Johnny Sincere" (on the line) & need to talk to you about "A Personal Business Matter" & 31 other somewhat fairly interesting songs filled with colourful characters & quirky poetic license! Please contact us here at your earliest…

In honor of the release of our new single "Johnny Sincere", we're asking you, the fans, to vote and tell us what art work you think best represents the song. The two options are "retro radio" and "girl riot". While the art work is very low resolution and will ultimately be finessed for the final version we wanted to include the best fans in the world in the decision making process. Whichever version gets the most votes, wins, it's that simple. And…

 Rush is well deserving of this honor. I won't go to Cleveland until either Deep Purple or Iron Maiden get in. But, this is a step in the right direction. Jan Wenner, senior editor of Rolling Stone Magazine is a fucking racist towards progressive rock and HM bands as well as a scum bag.Ahmet Eretgum had more class and dignity than Wild and Wenner put together.

Donna Summer got in this year because Sir Elton gave the RHOF a tongue lashing last year. A good tongue lashing where the…

The Only Punk Left: Vivienne Westwood
 Great little read in Harper's Bazaar about the designer of the Pistol's iconic t shirt, a staple in my kid's wardrobe since about the 5th grade.

The purpose of the event is to bring artists, fans, and fellow record store employees together. Since its foundation in 2007 the event has become much more. It is a…

I love motorcycles There, I said it. When I graduate college in a couple of months, I promised myself two things: I promised my mother that I would get a bigger flat (apartment) and for myself, a motorcycle. That’s right, you heard correct a motorcycle. Ever since I was a teenager and I watched Easy Rider on VHS, DVD was…

my band has 3 hours of origional material, but as a live band our assets are tied up in guitars, amps, and other live equipment.  our equipment is analog, not digital because it sounds better live. this presents a recording issue. as i am also a construction worker money is the deciding factor. we are a live band and that is where our money has been invested. does anyone know of a recording studio capable of recording a band?  as i live in wyoming, there is a shortage of…
