Image of Jim Fixx’s iconic 1977 book ‘Running,’ taken from the internet and probably copyrighted Apparently school just started around here…I don’t have any kids in school but there are signs.

ByKenneth Corsini August 29, 2025July 31, 2026

New Song Alert: Rock Vets Cheap Trick Release “Twelve Gates” Announce New LP, ‘All Washed Up’
ByKenneth Corsini August 26, 2025June 18, 2026
Maybe it’s the fabulous fall-like weather we’ve been having but I woke up in a pretty good mood today, which is not my usual M.O. (modus operandi for all you who don’t watch cop shows). Just when I thought today couldn’t get any better a little good news out of Rockford, Illinois came my way…

Van Halen ‘Balance’ – The Troubled Final LP of The Hagar Era Gets An Expanded Edition – Should We Care?
ByKenneth Corsini August 18, 2025June 18, 2026
Last Friday Van Halen curiously released a 2-CD “Expanded Edition” of their 1995 album Balance. I have to admit being a little surprised to see that. I purchased Balance (on CD) the day it came out that January of ’95 and eventually sold it at the used record/CD store. I had really liked the first…

Review: The Black Keys Return After Only 1 Year With ‘No Rain, No Flowers’ – Another Stellar LP
ByKenneth Corsini August 9, 2025June 18, 2026
Perennial B&V favs the Black Keys – Dan Auerbach (guitar/vocals/various other instruments) and Patrick Carney (drums/percussion) – have returned a mere 18 months after last year’s Ohio Players with No Rain, No Flowers. I’ve done nothing but listen to this album on repeat for the last two days because, wow, these guys are just so…

Review: Elton John Opens Vaults For ‘Live From The Rainbow Theater,’ With Ray Cooper, From 1977, A Wonderful Performance
ByKenneth Corsini August 5, 2025June 18, 2026
Elton John has released a live album from the vaults, Live At The Rainbow Theater, originally recorded in 1977. Apparently this performance was broadcast and has been highly bootlegged over the years, but I must admit, I’d never heard it before this release. The performance is mostly Elton alone at the piano, but he was…

Review: New Billy Joel 2-Part (Very Long) Documentary, ‘And So It Goes’ – A Piano Man Deep Dive, Worth The Time
ByKenneth Corsini July 28, 2025June 18, 2026
I finally finished the in-depth new Billy Joel documentary, or “rockumentary” if you like, but I won’t lie, at 2 episodes and roughly 5 hours of material, it took me two sittings per episode (each episode is 2 and 1/2 hours) over two weekends to digest it all. I have always been a big Billy…
