    Playlist: Looking Back 40 Years, Rock Songs Of…1986

    ByKenneth Corsini March 30, 2026

    *Photo of the Halley’s Comet (3/8/1986) from Wikipedia and likely subject to copyright As we usually do, we started off 2026 with our annual “50-year look back” to the rock songs from albums released in 1975. And, as night follows day, we typically return to that nostalgic vibe in March every year with a “40-year…

    New Song (+Link): Paul McCartney Announces LP, Releases Single, “Days We Left Behind”

    ByKenneth Corsini March 26, 2026March 27, 2026

    “Looking back at white and black Reminders of my past Smoky bars and cheap guitars But nothing built to last” – Paul McCartney, “Days We Left Behind” The rumors have been percolating for years about a new Paul McCartney album. He’s been reportedly working with producer-of-the-moment Andrew Watt for a while now. Watt has famously…

    Review: Aerosmith Release ‘Legendary Expanded Edition’ Of Their Debut LP – Just For Die Hard Fans?

    ByKenneth Corsini March 23, 2026March 24, 2026

    This weekend Aerosmith released a new box set focused on their 1973 debut album. And while I’m on record as a huge fan of debut albums in general, I have to admit to you that this set might be just for the Aerosmith die hard fans…and yes, I count myself as one of those. We’ve…

    Review: Rush ‘Grace Under Pressure (Super Deluxe)’ – New Mixes & A Live Show From ’84

    ByKenneth Corsini March 20, 2026

    Legendary prog rockers Rush – Geddy Lee (bass/keyboards/vocals), Alex Lifeson (guitars), and the late Neil Peart (drums) – have released a Super Deluxe Edition of their 1984 album Grace Under Pressure. I believe the box comes in a number of configurations – vinyl, CD etc – and includes a Blu Ray disc of a live show from ’84. As…

    Review: Black Crowes Comeback Continues With New LP ‘A Pound Of Feathers’

    ByKenneth Corsini March 16, 2026March 20, 2026

    The Black Crowes have had such a volatile history, you can perhaps understand why I was worried that 2024’s spectacular comeback album Happiness Bastards might be a one-off reunion. It had been 15 years since their last album (not counting Croweology an album of acoustic reworking of previous material). And the Brothers Robinson, in the fine tradition of brothers…

    New Song: Springsteen Covers Shane MacGowan (The Pogues) “A Rainy Night In Soho” – A Devastatingly Beautiful Song

    ByKenneth Corsini March 14, 2026March 24, 2026

    As I mentioned in my previous post on Depeche Mode’s newly released (stunning) cover song “Universal Soldier” from the charity LP Help(2), I find songs through strange sources these days. In the early days of my rock n roll obsession I need only turn on my local radio station, good ol’ KY/102 to find new music. Many…

    New Song: Depeche Mode’s New Stunning Cover, “Universal Soldier,” For ‘Help(2)’ Charity LP – Great Music, Great Cause

    ByKenneth Corsini March 12, 2026March 12, 2026

    It’s weird how I find new music these days. Back when I was in high school, I typically eschewed the company of my family (I thought they were lame, after all). I’d retreat to my room and if I didn’t have homework to labor over I’d turn on the radio. If there was new stuff…

    Box Set Review: Talking Heads’ (3-Disc) ‘Tentative Decisions – Demos & Live’ – The Rosetta Stone of Early Heads?

    ByKenneth Corsini March 10, 2026

    I spent the weekend holed up with the new Talking Heads’ archival release, Tentative Decisions – Demos & Live, a 3 disc retrospective visiting their early days – the pre Jerry Harrison days – with (as the title would suggest) demos and live stuff from 1975 up to their debut in 1977, Talking Heads: 77. It’s…

    The 2026 Rock Hall of Fame Nominees & Our Annual B&V Picks For Our Fan Ballot

    ByKenneth Corsini March 6, 2026March 6, 2026

    *Image above of the Rock Hall of Fame taken from the internet and likely subject to copyright With every passing year the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, aka the Rock Hall, becomes less relevant to fans. It’s really a Pop music hall of fame if we’re being honest. Maybe that’s why rock fans, who…
