Review: Oasis’ Liam Gallagher/Stone Roses’ John Squire, Manchester Rock Royalty, Team Up For New Song “Just Another Rainbow,” & A New Album
ByKenneth Corsini January 15, 2024January 31, 2024
Fridays are when new music, albums and single songs, get released. It used to be Tuesdays – which was admittedly strange (it was done to “game” the weekly charts) – but somewhere along the line the music industry switched it to Fridays which just works better for me personally. If I’m going to sip a…

Album Lookback: Forty Years Ago, The Cars Release The Classic, ‘Heartbeat City’
ByKenneth Corsini January 11, 2024
Another new year has left me in a reflective mode. I just recently posted my 1974 Playlist, and as usually happens after looking back 50 years (when I was just a little kid), my mind drifts back 40 years when I was more cognizant, to 1984…and what a year! It was certainly not the dystopian,…

Playlist: We Kick Off 2024, As Usual, Looking Back 50 Years to… 1974
ByKenneth Corsini January 4, 2024April 3, 2024
Let me start off on this, my first post of 2024, by saying a belated Happy New Year. Man, 2024… it’s a year that would have sounded like something out of science fiction when I was a kid. As usual it was a lovely Xmas followed by the Rock Chick’s immediate dismantling of all things…

“New” Song: Guns N’ Roses Release “The General” – A Song Even Slash Can’t Save…
ByKenneth Corsini December 29, 2023
Typically this is a pretty slow time here at the B&V labs. I usually post my “Best of” list (2023’s here), and take it easy until the New Year dawns. I’ve spent my holidays largely listening to Peter Gabriel’s new album and revisiting the Black Crowes’ masterpiece Southern Harmony & Musical Companion (Deluxe). I figured…

B&V’s Best of 2023: Our Favorite New LPs & Vault/Reissues/Live Releases
ByKenneth Corsini December 22, 2023
I can’t believe the Earth has made another journey around the sun and it’s already December and time for our annual, year-end, “Best Of” lists. It seems just like yesterday I was sitting around the B&V labs, dreading January – which thankfully wasn’t dry this year – researching music from 1973 for a playlist. When…

Review: Peter Gabriel’s First LP In 21 Years, ‘i/o’ – An Understated, Gem Of An Album
ByKenneth Corsini December 9, 2023March 9, 2024
“I have so much left to give…” Peter Gabriel, “So Much” It’s hard to believe that Peter Gabriel, erstwhile lead singer of Genesis, waited 21 years to release his follow up to 2002’s Us. I was going to joke that this was his Hackney Diamonds and ask who does this guy think he is, a…

Playlist: Our Favorite Songs About The (Sometimes) Exquisite Pain of …. Waiting
ByKenneth Corsini December 3, 2023
I had the distinct displeasure this week of having to deal with an issue with the county I live in. As fate would have it, I couldn’t resolve the issue on-line like civilized societies do. I had to drive over to an old, historic courthouse on the east side of town where I spent more…

Concert Review: The Struts At The Truman In KC, November 13, 2023 – Old School, Fun, Rawk Show!!
ByKenneth Corsini November 14, 2023November 14, 2023
*Photo of singer Luke Spiller of the Struts taken by your intrepid blogger There’s nothing better than that “day after the concert” feeling when you’ve seen a great show. There’s a buzz – psychological, not bourbon related – that comes over you when you’ve seen a band come out and blow the doors off a…

Concert Review: Billy Idol, October 27, 2023 At The Chelsea Theater At The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas
ByKenneth Corsini November 2, 2023
With all the spectacle of the U2 show at the Sphere last Wednesday, it’s seems incredible that just two days later I saw Billy Idol and his sidekick guitarist extraordinaire Steve Stevens at the Chelsea Theater inside the confines of the Cosmopolitan casino. I have to admit to you, when the Rock Chick came up…

Concert Review: U2 Live In Las Vegas At The Sphere, With Surprise Guest, Lady Gaga Oct 25, 2023
ByKenneth Corsini October 29, 2023
*Picture of U2 with Lady Gaga in Las Vegas at The Sphere, Oct 25, 2023 taken by your intrepid blogger The scheme was hatched a mere three weeks ago. And as most good ideas and/or schemes go around here it was the Rock Chick’s idea. Ever since U2 announced they were doing a residency in…
