ByKenneth Corsini April 24, 2017January 30, 2026
Last week while I was checking out the new single from the upcoming Lindsay Buckingham/Christine McVie album, I happened to notice that Dan Auerbach has a new solo album coming out, his second one. I also noticed the first single, “Shine On Me” had been released. I couldn’t help but think, as the bourbon drinking…

The 10 Concerts I Should Have Skipped
ByKenneth Corsini January 25, 2017January 28, 2026
I will start by stating the obvious. I love listening to music. I have spent hours sitting around my home listening to vinyl, CD and now iPod versions of albums.

Classic Album Sunday: A Great Way For A Music Fan to Spend Sunday Afternoon
ByKenneth Corsini January 23, 2017January 28, 2026
The older I get, the less social I’ve become. If it weren’t for the Rock Chick, I might never leave the house… If only the HOA would let me build that moat I pitched at the last meeting… If it were up to me, I’d sit in my home office and listen to tunes all…

ByKenneth Corsini January 17, 2017January 28, 2026
First and foremost, I must apologize to those few readers out there who might have seen my last attempt to put an iPod playlist together for Friday’s impending Inauguration. While I’ve been on my annual Bourbon fast, it hasn’t precluded me from drinking wine. And as occasionally happens when I’ve pulled the cork, I sat…

Artist Lookback: The Runaways, A Guilty Rocking Pleasure
ByKenneth Corsini January 14, 2017January 28, 2026
One of the great things about being married to the Rock Chick is the enormous amount of music she’s turned me onto over the years. Among other bands, early on she turned me onto an all female band, The Donnas. I had never even heard of the Donnas until the Rock Chick put on the…

Playlist: The B&V 20 Best Bowie Deep Tracks – You Won’t Hear These on the Radio
ByKenneth Corsini January 12, 2017January 28, 2026
*photo shamelessly stolen from the internet Ah, January. With the turn of the calendar and a shiny new year and the prospects there of, everything seems so hopeful. However, for me January has been permanently altered by the loss of David Bowie. Now for me, early January isn’t for making lists of New Year’s Resolutions, although I…

Ryan Adams: The First Two Songs From the Upcoming LP, “Prisoner”
ByKenneth Corsini January 5, 2017January 28, 2026
Prior to his big hit “New York, New York” I had never heard of Ryan Adams. I had never heard of his first band Whiskeytown either. In the aftermath of 911, “New York, New York” and it’s accompanying video were in high rotation around the U.S. I quickly purchased his album “Gold” and absolutely loved…
