I’m starting up a new series on The Beatles called “Beatles Better In Mono” (that’s the tag I’m using) where I highlight the songs that I think aren’t just “different” in mono (which to a Beatles freak like me, is still plenty of reason to be curious about the mono mixes released in the The [...]

We’re a bit late to this news but on September 16th, Billy Corgan announced that a new Smashing Pumpkins album titled Teargarden by Kaleidyscope will be coming out (song by song, one at a time) beginning around Halloween of this year.

I’m talking about the ultimate AC/DC collection, the 16 album, 17 disc AC/DC Box Set which I recommend buying on CCMusic.com because it’s only $250 there while it’s [...]

Rather than continuing on writing about Beck any further, I felt it best to rank the very best albums by The Beatles. Do keep in mind I shall not include everything, just those albums I feel to be of worth, and placing them thusly in a list from best to least-best. Understand; do you, my [...]

This is some pretty incredible music by an experimental Japanese outfit. They got mad Trip-Hop minimalism going on and bizarre freestyle vocalizations.

Continuing with my series on who is the “Most Valuable Beatle” (which basically turns into a John Vs. Paul battle) for each Beatles album, I’ve made my way to Abbey Road today (I’m going by release date, not recording date as Let It Be was the last album released, but Abbey Road was the last [...]
