ByKenneth Corsini April 27, 2026
“Tell me a story, I don’t care if it’s true…” – Ringo Starr, “Returning Without Tears” Ringo Starr has returned with his second T Bone Burnett produced LP in a row, Long Long Road. This of course, follows Ringo’s fabulous album Look Up which came in January of 2025. I’d call this streak a comeback, but as LL Cool…

ByKenneth Corsini April 22, 2026
*Image of Artemis II’s photo of the Earth taken from the internet & likely copyrighted We are living in, arguably, some pretty dark times. Every day the news brings more – for lack of a better word – crappy news. But in the midst of all the darkness being caused by evil, greedy, corrupt men,…

“Fear And Loathing” On Record Store Day ’26
ByKenneth Corsini April 18, 2026April 18, 2026
(Title is an obvious nod to the brilliant Hunger S. Thompson) Emboldened by the success I’d had running down to my local renown record store and snagging a copy of the Stones’ new vinyl-only single “Rough And Twisted,” I decided to dip my toe back into Record Store Day this morning. It had been years…

New Song: Michael Stipe (R.E.M.) & Andrew Watt, “I Played The Fool” (Theme Song From ‘Rooster’)
ByKenneth Corsini April 14, 2026
I am, as I’ve admitted in these pages, a bit of a music obsessive. When I was young it used to actually piss me off when a new album slipped past me. Well, it would only rile me in a mild way… I had other things to be pissed about as a teenager (didn’t we…

New Song Alert: The Cockroaches (aka The Rolling Stones) Release Vinyl-Only “Rough And Twisted” – I Got One!!
ByKenneth Corsini April 11, 2026April 11, 2026
The rumors of a new Stones album, the follow-up to the wonderful late career Hackney Diamonds in 2023, have been flying around for a while now. Hackney was their first album in 18 years so to think after only three years we’d see another LP coming out was almost far fetched only a few years ago. But then…

Review: Rockumentary, ‘Billy Idol Should Be Dead’ – And Thank Heaven He Isn’t!
ByKenneth Corsini April 8, 2026
Well, I finally settled in and watched the new rockumentary Billy Idol Should Be Dead this weekend. It was released theatrically last year (2025) and I believe has just recently been made available for streaming. I have to say, having now seen this documentary, yes, Billy Idol should be dead. Thank the universe that he isn’t!…

ByKenneth Corsini April 6, 2026
After surprising and delighting me with the release of Days Of Ash EP on, as you would guess, Ash Wednesday this year, U2 have returned (already!) with a second surprise release, Easter Lily EP which came out on Good Friday. I considered writing about this immediately on Friday, but got a little sidetracked with the two…
