With the end in site, we arrive at the concept album (rock opera) about the state of the music industry, which AllMusic gave 1 star. Is it that bad? Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – The Last DJ – 2002 (Buy It) In 2002 I was listening to radio late Continue Reading

Listening Post: New Music
After hosting (or, co-hosting, as it were) that Monkey Mix I, true to my word, loaded up on a lot of suggestions.Here are my super brief thoughts: Elliott Brood – Mountain Meadows – Excellent. Death Country. High energy. Like …and You Will Know us by the Trail of Dead, only Continue Reading
These guys never got the credit they deserved for the soundscapes they created. Ridicule is NOTHING to be scared of!

Listening Post: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Echo
Come hell or high water, I’m gonna finish this……. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Echo – 1999 (Buy It) No. The opening track, “Room at the Top” is NOT the Adam Ant hit. Wouldn’t that be cool, though? Mebbe not. As opening tracks go, it’s big, it’s heart wrenching Continue Reading

The Unheard Monkey!
I’ve been reading Splotchy’s blog for more than a year. I’m a fan. It’s a weird blog. Has no center. Unconnected Tuesdays are just 2 pictures that have nothing in common. New Crayon Colors that Splotch invents or names. And one thing that I have adored, as a musicaphile is Continue Reading
listening Post: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Full Moon Fever
