Fun visual interpretations inspired by my vinyl collection
This is just a big, fun rock record that brings the funk and the NOLA sound by a band that never really hit their deserved heights of popularity - playing it loud!

Strip away the wild clothes, the frequent run-ins with the law, the skits from Dave Chappelle's show.... you are left with an incredible musician that put out a 🔥 debut album.

One of the first albums I bought with my own money in 1981
The focus is on Rush's incredible 1977 - 1981 catalog, coming out the same year as "Moving Pictures" - "Closer to the Heart" sounds amazing, the drum solo on "YYZ" is epic... I continue to love this one 😁

Happy 81st Birthday Booker T. Jones!
He was a big fan of @thebeatles' "Abbey Road" when it came out in 1969 - then, less than a year after its release, he put out this organ-heavy mix of Soul, Jazz and Funk - it really stands on its own as a terrific listen

Turning this one up loud! 😁
Lynyrd Skynyrd captured at the peak of their powers over a three day run in Atlanta. A favorite of mine, and feel it is one of the top live rock albums the 70s produced - and that is a stacked category!
Rock on, all!

It was Etta's final album with Chess, so reviewers felt there was a bit of "get me out of here" vibe - but this is Etta doing funk with a socially concsience bent... which I find awesome! 😁

Welcome, boils and ghouls, to another spine-tingling review! Tonight’s horrifying hit is a graveyard smash of ghoulish grooves and sinister synths!
Carpenter’s music is sharper than a machete on prom night - minimal, menacing, and marvelously macabre!
Enjoy kiddies... heh heh heh 💀

Awesome 1963 horrorfest from the ever creative folks at Famous Monsters - a magazine I read growing up that fueled my love of horror films
A kitchy radio play with great voice acting. Side one is a Frankenstein's Monster story, and side two with Dracula
Happy Halloween All!

Lou Reed was fiercly angry at the state of America, as reflected in this brutal takedown of the 80s Reagan era
AIDS, consumerism/capitalism, NRA, pollution, Trump, racism - all addressed in densely packed, pissed off lyrics that result in an evergreen protest album.

An excellent Halloween themed album from Duran Duran - spinning it as well as the recently released "expansion" album (from Record Store Day) quite a bit these weeks to get into the spirit!

As a child of the 80s, I have welcomed and enjoyed the whole synthwave trend over the last decade+, as it mined the music of that era and provided a modern spin
This new album from The Midnight does just that, and with each listen, it is rapidly becoming my favorite album of 2025

Some terrific live Ertha Kitt from 1962 - just love it!
She was a great live performer, and this album of her big hits captures that wonderfully (couldn't find this album on streaming, so posting the studio version of "I Want to be Evil")
Also - Best.CatWomen.Ever! Just facts

With a heavy focus on their new material from "Who's Next", the band was at the peak of their powers, and sound terrific!

By 1966, Otis was working to expand his audience, and take control of his career. The Whiskey A Go Go was primarily a rock venue, with a mostly white audience - you can really hear him going for it to reach them
The result is a wildly fun and energetic album that hits on soul, R&B and rock

Given the scathing reviews of the new album from Arcade Fire, it will likely not reverse the "diminishing returns" of their last several releases - personally, as a fan of the group, I found enough to enjoy on the album, but wouldn"t put it with their best

After 50+ years, there is an official re-release of the first, and only, pairing of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks
The album was a bust at launch (which is surprising to me), but very glad it has been newly released - high recommend for all FM fans
