ByKenneth Corsini August 28, 2026August 28, 2026
I posted back in March about a new tribute album coming out in November (the 13th, to be specific) honoring the Pogues late frontman Shane MacGowan. The tribute album is called 20th Century Paddy – The Songs Of Shane MacGowan. I have to admit, much like my recent post about Steve Earle and Los Lobos’…

Question: What Are Your 3 Favorite Album Covers – A Celebration Of Cover Art
ByKenneth Corsini August 25, 2026August 28, 2026
Don’t pay the ransom, I’m back! I realize it’s been awhile since our last post, our “look back” on Thin Lizzy’s superb 1976 album Jailbreak, but I guess it’s only been a week. Although it seems longer to me? The Rock Chick and I “slipped out the back, Jack” and headed to points West to…

New Song: Steve Earle, Los Lobos Team Up For The Striking “Volver A Celaya”
ByKenneth Corsini August 13, 2026August 13, 2026
I got a ping from my dear friend RK with a link to the song “Volver A Celaya” and the words “Have been listening to this lately…” His text couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. As I sit around the B&V labs waiting for new albums from Neil Young, Beck and Greta Van…

Question: What’s Your Favorite TV “Soundtrack” – Or Favorite TV Show With Great Music?
ByKenneth Corsini August 11, 2026August 28, 2026
A few weeks back I posted a list of my favorite movie soundtrack albums. Having done this a while, I have to say posting that list was long overdue. I did do a list of songs that could only be found on soundtracks – music recorded or released only for that particular film (i.e. “Somebody’s…

Playlist: Songs About… Light/”The” Light/Lights
ByKenneth Corsini August 4, 2026
I can’t get over what a dark time it is right now in the history of the world. We don’t speak about world events here, this is a rock n roll blog, but damn… Perhaps because my spirits have been buoyed of late by the recent Black Crowes concert here in KC, and that communal…

New Song: Fiona Apple Returns With (Brief) “Horns Of A Bull,” Theme From Anya Taylor Joy’s ‘Lucky’
ByKenneth Corsini July 20, 2026July 21, 2026
Fiona Apple has released a new song, albeit a very brief one, “Horns Of A Bull” which serves as the theme song of the new Anya Taylor Joy show, Lucky. I think this is similar to what R.E.M.’s erstwhile singer Michael Stipe (working with uber-producer Andrew Watt) did earlier this year with “I Played The Fool”…
