While COVID is still stalking us like a pissed off Krampus, we have to stay in and avoid celebrating the holidays in groups this year. With that in mind, you need to party even harder at home on your own to make up for it, so you’re going to need plenty of great new holidayContinue reading “Holiday Music Roundup”

The Beatles Anthology, 25 Years On
I can without a doubt pinpoint the exact moment in my early childhood that set me onto the path that made me who I am today.

Interview with Tambourinen’s Grant Beyschau
Grant Beyschau of The Myrrors released a total kosmische monster of a solo album on cassette back in May under the name Tambourinen.

Powers/Rolin Duo – The Nightland
Much like the billboard on its cover, the music of the Powers/Rolin Duo’s The Nightland is a gleaming light in the oppressive darkness that seems to be filling our world right now, providing us a little hope and illuminating a path out of the gloom.
