Always good when a @burningshed.com package hits the doormat! Even better when you find a K Scope sampler disc inside!

First listen to Body Count's 'Merciless' this morning. Not my kind of thing normally but it's going straight on to my albums of the year list - maybe at the top...

First watch of the Porcupine Tree Closure/Continuation BluRay through great headphones and its absolutely stunning. Dare I say even better than Anesthetize live..?!

No matter where my musical wanderings take me (I'm listening to a lot of Heavy Psych at the moment), Blueneck's 'King Nine' will always have a place in my top five favourite albums ever. A truly stunning melancholic masterpiece that moves me like no other album ever has.

It's 9.30 on a Tuesday morning and I've blasted the new Green Lung album twice already today. It's insanely good...

A truly flawless album is quite a rare thing, but the Parlor Mob's debut - And You Were a Crow - is (IMHO) definitely one of the few. I've been playing this regularly since it's release in 2008 and it still blows me away.

What a night this was! Just a few short weeks ago - the Moon City Masters at the Giffard Arms in Wolverhampton. I waited a long time to see them and they did not disappoint!

It's been a great year for new music (particularly from Norway) - here's four of my favourites from 2023 so far...

Glam rock band Sweet Reason got together for the first time since the mid 70s recently to reminisce over a few beers, so we produced some appropriate shirts for the occasion! Search Sweet Reason on YT and the 100,000 dollar thing will make sense!

Just bought the new Rival Sons album - Lightbringer. I haven't heard any of it yet but if it's as good as Darkfighter I'll be very happy indeed..!
