That “10 teenage albums” thing

Because why not? So here’s my “10 albums that made a lasting impression on you as a teenager” thing. I think I did this fairly recently, but what the hell. Rules are: only one per band/artist. Don’t take too long and don’t think. (I made my list of albums that were released when I was […]

Riot Fest 2015 – Denver Day 2

It’s always easy to get up for Day 2, especially when I’m taking it easy and pacing myself for three days. If I was just attending Saturday (which it sounds like a lot of people did, just attend the one day), I might have busted my ass to be there when the gates opened, but […]

Last Friday there were rumors swirling around that The Stone Roses might re-form and play some gigs. I don’t really play the “will they/won’t they” game too much. If they do, they do, if they don’t, they don’t. These rumors pop up every year or so, and they never amount to anything. I also don’t […]
