New Song: U2 Release “Street Of Dreams” From Highly Anticipated (As Of Now Still Untitled) New LP
ByKenneth Corsini July 7, 2026
Editor’s Note: I inadvertently hit “publish” yesterday while I was trying to sketch out my initial thoughts about the framework/context of my review on U2’s new song. My apologies for the boneheaded publish/delete. If you got the two paragraph email version of those early sketched out ideas, sorry! Consider it a teaser! After releasing two…

ByKenneth Corsini June 26, 2026June 26, 2026

David + David’s Dark, Cult Classic ‘Boomtown’ Turns 40 This Year – We Look Back
ByKenneth Corsini June 24, 2026
Every spring (during March to be exact) we look back 40 years to put together a playlist of rock songs for whatever given year that might be. This year, obviously, we looked back to 1986. As an aside, every January we do a 50-year playlist in the same manner, this year 1976. When compiling the…

Our Favorite Movie Soundtrack Albums
ByKenneth Corsini June 20, 2026June 20, 2026
As the World Cup takes over my city this month, I find myself hunkering down here in the B&V labs. It’s not that I don’t like large crowds of people, but as they say in Barfly, “I just sort of feel better when they’re not around.” Although admittedly, I’m hearing the folks from Scotland drank all the…

ByKenneth Corsini June 13, 2026June 13, 2026
*Image of documentary poster taken from the internet and likely copyrighted I was flipping around the different apps last night, looking for something to watch, when up popped a rockumentary entitled The Rise Of The Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel.

Review: Neil Young & The Chrome Hearts New ‘As Time Explodes: Live Album’ – Neil Takes His Latest Backing Band Out For A Spin
ByKenneth Corsini June 11, 2026June 12, 2026
While I was out for summer vacation traveling with family and subsequently subsumed in Paul McCartney’s new album The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Neil Young released a live album recorded with his latest backing band The Chrome Hearts entitled As Time Explodes: Live Album. The material on this album, I believe, was captured on Neil and…

Playlist: Rock Songs About… Outlaws, Desperados & Other Various Criminals
ByKenneth Corsini May 26, 2026May 27, 2026
*Photo of William H. Bonney, aka “Billy The Kid,” taken from Wikipedia, credited to Bill Wittick, circa 1880 and probably copyrighted I’m not sure why, but lately I’ve taken to saying to the Rock Chick, “You’ve always been an outlaw.” Perhaps some context is in order. I usually say this to her when I’m riding…

LP Lookback: Steve Winwood, 1986’s ‘Back In The High Life’ – Forgotten Gem?
ByKenneth Corsini May 22, 2026
As I do every year in March, in 2026 I compiled our “40 year look back” playlist, this year to (obviously) 1986. It’s where I pick one song off different albums from the year in question. Those playlists are a real “snapshot in time,” if you will. One of the albums that I chose a…
