Subscribe >So Matthew Sweet, who had one big hit, “Girlfriend,” decides to get together a bunch of guest musicians (Carmine Appice, Jack White, Graham Bonnett, and more). Let’s do a Beatles tribute. To me, it sounds pleasing to my ears. I don’t know what Beatle fans will think. The lack of Beatle “hit tunes” and many […]
“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight.”(Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington D.C., August 28, 1963) “From Dallas, Texas, the flash, apparently official: President Kennedy died at […]
Ever since excitedly cycling a mile or three to the nearest record store the very day “Hey Jude” was released, I had been loyally buying up each and every new Apple 45-RPM disc my weekly childhood allowance allowed. But checking the ol’ singles clock, as pictured, reminds me that Early 1970, as Ringo would […]
Raised in the Pacific Northwest, the young Fox began playing piano at the age of five. A lifetime of playing music and sitting at the piano has allowed it to become second nature to him. He played piano and violin throughout his academic years, which led to learning guitar and bass. Soon after, he began […]
Classic Swedish hard rockers Shaggy released an outstanding album already back in 1975 and then fell off the earth, to return in 2012 with the equally exceptional album “Destination Nowhere.” Fighting Angels And Demons then followed this album”, was a double album, divided into two releases.

On the afternoon of March 9, 1969, three guitar-and-drum-beating sisters from tiny Fremont, New Hampshire entered an even tinier recording studio and emerged, just a few hours later, with a dozen original rock ‘n’ roll songs on some quarter-inch tape. These twelve songs were then pressed onto one thousand vinyl records, nine hundred copies […]
In the summer of 2005, a package arrived at the Hollywood offices of Highway 61 Entertainment from London with no return address. Inside were two mini-cassette audio tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled The Last Testament of George Harrison. A voice eerily similar to Harrison’s tells a shocking story: Paul McCartney was […]
With the passing of Tom Petty, it feels like the Music Died. The first time I ever heard of Tom Petty song was in 1989 when Free Falling came on MTV I thought at first that he was a solo singer putting out his first solo album little did I know who Tom Petty really […]
I found myself watching Ron Howard’s great new “Eight Days A Week” film just the other night, which got me to thinking about some OTHER ol’ Beatlesongs you, and I, should probably be listening to right now… 1) Please Please Me …and, with the supreme Beatle ballad “Ask Me Why” on its original […]
While some of you may be running out right about now to grab Apple Corps’ 2015 digital Yuletide stocking stuffer, may I recommend instead you treat the Fab fan(atic) on your Christmas list with something even coooooler ?? Such as a great collection called The Beatles with Tony Sheridan: First Recordings, wherein during their, […]
Spiders & Snakes is a band that shouldn’t need an introduction. They’ve been around for more than a decade and they’ve been putting out quality music for the past fifteen years and their current album, “Hollywood Ghosts,” is no different. You get the best of both worlds with this release. Not only do you get […]
