Review: The Rolling Stones, ‘Live At The Wiltern’ From the ‘Forty Licks’ Tour (2002) – A Glorious Theater Show!
ByKenneth Corsini March 13, 2024June 17, 2026
When I think about artists who have a great “official bootleg” business going – i.e., bands who are actively releasing stuff from their vaults – I tend to think about Neil Young (whose Archive Series is remarkable), or Bob Dylan (whose “official bootleg” series started it all). Or I think about Springsteen who mostly (other…

Review: The Rolling Stones Return After 18 Years With The Superb ‘Hackney Diamonds’
ByKenneth Corsini October 24, 2023June 16, 2026
Well it’s about time. Or maybe I should start with “good things come to those who wait…” I keep a running list here in my desk at the B&V Labs of “upcoming albums,” some actually announced, some are purely from my wish list. Every year for as long as I can remember I’d write down…

New Song Alert: Stones Formally Announce ‘Hackney Diamonds’ With Jimmy Fallon – Release New Single ‘Angry’ – Oh, Yeah, Baby!!
ByKenneth Corsini September 6, 2023June 16, 2026
I had to get up early for work today, but truth be told, I’d have gotten up early anyway as the Stones were set to do their album launch broadcast (on YouTube) for the new record Hackney Diamonds. Apparently the original album title was going to be Smash And Grab. The Stones – Mick Jagger…

The Rolling Stones (At Last!) Poised To Release New Studio LP Of All Originals – ‘Hackney Diamonds’
ByKenneth Corsini August 30, 2023June 16, 2026
I wish mere words could express the excitement we’re all feeling down here at B&V over the impending announcement of – at last! – a new Stones album to listen to. I’m happier than a man staring down a lumberjack breakfast of eggs, sausage and pancakes. I can’t believe it’s been 18 years since the…

Rock Bands With A Disco Song – Can’t Beat ‘Em, Join ‘Em And Dance All The Way To The Top Of The Charts
ByKenneth Corsini April 7, 2023June 11, 2026
It was roughly 1977-1978 when I stopped using my nightstand clock/radio – who needs Apple? – to exclusively listen to Royals games at night and started listening to rock and roll music. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, I’d gone from not listening to music at all, unless my brother had extorted…

B&V’s Favorite B-Sides – Songs That Were Orphans But Found Fame Anyway
ByKenneth Corsini August 26, 2022May 20, 2026
*Photo of actual 45s, and actual B-sides, taken by your intrepid blogger I think a lot of people, especially the casual music fan, can be put off by the term B-side. The term sounds like something you’d find in the discount aisle of your local retailer next to day old bread. It’s not an “A”…

Review: Documentary, ‘Under The Volcano’ – A Wonderful Lookback At AIR Montserrat Studios
ByKenneth Corsini January 11, 2022April 14, 2026
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m in the throes of the dreaded Dry January these days. It’s very hard to self entertain during the coldest, grayest time of year, especially without booze. Let’s all admit it, January sucks. The Holidays, however you feel about them and whichever you choose to participate in, are…
