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.

Playlist: We Once Again Reluctantly Look Back 40 Years: 1983 In Rock N Roll
ByKenneth Corsini March 23, 2023
As long time readers know, we love our playlists here at B&V. Who doesn’t like a little music to help wile away the hours? Inspired by Bob Dylan’s ‘Theme Time Radio Hour,’ we’ve typically designed our playlists around a certain theme instead of trying to capture a certain mood or tone for a party or…

The B&V List Of Our Favorite Rhythm Guitarists – “Strictly Rhythm…” – The Riff Meisters Of Rock N Roll

“You check out guitar George, he knows-all the chords, Mind, it’s strictly rhythm he doesn’t want to make it cry or sing” – Dire Straits, “Sultans of Swing” I believe it was John Mellencamp who once sang, “Let me give you some good advice young man, you better learn to play guitar.” Every rock n…

B&V Playlist: Songs About Sleeping, A “Celebration” Of Insomnia… For My Fellow Insomniacs – If We Can’t Sleep, Let’s Rock
ByKenneth Corsini November 6, 2021April 14, 2026
“To sleep, perchance to dream…” – Hamlet I was on the road for work this week. That used to be a weekly experience in my chosen profession as a traveling salesman, but now it just feels weird. Everywhere you go there are different rules and protocols around masks and safety which leaves me feeling out…

Review: Greta Van Fleet, ‘The Battle At the Garden’s Gate’ – Sophomore Slumping Into Mid Tempo Mediocrity
ByKenneth Corsini April 24, 2021April 4, 2026
As long time readers know, I founded B&V to be a source of light in the rock and roll darkness. It’s always my intention to cast a little of that light onto good music you may or may not be aware of, especially stuff by artists that I worry are overlooked. With so much negativity…

As long time readers know, a few weeks ago I posted about our B&V favorite debut albums, Pleased To Meet You… The Epic List of Our 40 Favorite Debut Albums. As I was compiling the list of all the great debut albums out there, well, the list began to get a little unwieldy. I was somewhere…

ByKenneth Corsini August 29, 2020March 25, 2026
*Picture of my original vinyl of Zeppelin’s ‘In Through The Out Door’ taken by your intrepid blogger I like to think that I had to be drug onto social media. I am not nor will I ever be on Facebook even though I think it would help spread the word on B&V. A number of…

The Cult: Hidden City Live, Kansas City
ByKenneth Corsini September 30, 2016September 30, 2016
Editor’s Note: While blogging about drinking and rock and roll is OK, blogging while drinking and listening to rock and roll isn’t always great… We’ll try to restrain Mr. B&V from his drunken, ecstatic post-concert ramblings, like those below, but we can’t guarantee anything… Man, what a shitty week I was having… and then live…

ByKenneth Corsini September 29, 2016January 27, 2026
In a post a few weeks ago I mused about a proposed SuperGroup comprised of members of famous bands who were left out of some of these big reunion tours. I cited GnR and Black Sabbath just to name a few. In one of the comments back to me, Moutly58 commented that I should do…
