Classic Rock Music and Cooking....

Hello everyone, my name is Andy.

I am looking forward to become an active part of this army of rockers (although I am reserving calling myself veteran just yet)!

My passions are music (why else would I be here), NLP, Life Coaching and cooking.

On my own website I combine music and cooking by posting some quick receipes for whatever I cook along with the music I am listening too at the time...please take a look and let me know what you think....good and bad as long as… Continue

Ladies & Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones on DVD. Oh. Hell. Yeah.

Back in '77, when the Clash said "No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones", I was right there pumping my fist in righteous agreement. Screw those old bastids and their castles in the south of France. Fuckin' dinosaurs.

Scott Bennett in the city of angels

1.0 What led you to move to LA? After losing my Warner Bros. record deal, and my 3rd band breaking up, I needed a change. Although I had had a great run doing commercials in Chicago, I thought that I might get a chance to do more album work, and more specifically, after playing on Brian Wilson’s “Imagination” album, I thought that I might have a shot at writing with him if I lived in CA.

2.0 What are you working on now?…

GWAR--Halloween whenever you want.

I've never seen GWAR in person. One of my best friends and pop culture Ronin, Steve Bunche is a huge fan. For years I have heard him describe their incredible shows something like this:

It was incredible, man! These guys in monster suits playing heavy metal, singing, and spewing fake blood into…

New Mimi Bettinis (Pezband) is out!!!

I've only waited 33 years for this! I listened to the samples at Not Lame and it sounds BETTER than the original Pezband! Better than Off Broadway (although that's a close call). Can't wait to get this CD in the mail!

Why I love Indies

In the red corner, weighing in at millions of dollars, with record labels as managers .. Mainstream music.

In the blue corner, scratching for survival, with a dedicated following .. the underdog Indie music.

For a lot of rock music fans out there (and YES this COULD mean you), there's nothing more to rock music than the "new rock" they are forced fed on their local FM rock radio station or the classics of rock.

That was the… Continue

The Eighteenth Day Of May-Hide & Seek

The Eighteenth Day Of May were one of the great lost bands of the 00's. This multi-national folk-rock band out of London only released one cd before dispersing to various projects (including the wonderful jangly-psych The See See's). Think Fairport Convention at their… Continue
