Artists Who Have Curiously Never Put Out A Career-Spanning Box Set?
ByKenneth Corsini May 1, 2026May 2, 2026
*Photo taken by your intrepid blogger I found myself wandering the house this week, looking for any distraction I could find from the rather grim stuff happening in the world right now. Especially since my Artemis II buzz wore off. I found myself standing in the B&V Labs (aka my listening room) and staring “with…

Review: Ringo Starr Releases ‘Long Long Road’ – His 2nd Country-ish LP In A Row With Producer T. Bone Burnett
ByKenneth Corsini April 27, 2026April 28, 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…

Playlist: In Honor of Artemis II’s Splash Down & Earth Day… Songs About The World/Earth
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…
