The Very Best Music in the World brings people together. And no matter what people are into - it excites them for largely unknown reasons. It makes them smile. Great music always draws strong opinions... It creates levels of interaction. You close your eyes at the end of the day and sometimes when the sun comes back up - you end up thinking about it again. Today's artist profile is the one-of-a-kind blues and folk phenomenon Abner Jay ; and Mr. Jay is making just that kind of music. Abner Jay recorded and played live for [...]

The sweet, sweeping sound of eclectic progression , the power of voice and the mixing that brings it all home - - Welcome to the world of PRINTS . This is a brand new endeavor for the indie-rock duo of Kenseth Thibideau and Zac Nelson.

CBGB proprietor Hilly Kristal, music supporter and keeper of the punk rock flame for three decades, dead this week at 75. This is a tribute.. CBGBs - opened for business in 1973 [...]
Feeling The James Bond vibe Casino Royale: Easily the Best Bond film in a Generation Even a casual Bond fan will tell you they didn't agree with selection of relative newcomer Daniel Craig for this latest incarnation of MI6 super spy James Bond.

The big-budget adaptation of Motley Crue bingeography The Dirt is redrafting the concept of the celeb cameo - the incidental rock heroes who drift across the story are going to be played by big names. So, we're to get Christopher Walken as Ozzy Osbourne (although, personally, we'd have had him as Sharon if it hadn't left the door open for John Culshaw) and Val Kilmer as Dave Lee Roth. Kilmer, of course, is no stranger to playing ridiculous rock pompadours, having taken the lead role in The Doors a few years back. [...]
The Oaks Every so often a music release appears in my mailbox that gives me pause and makes me listen hard and think about something other than just songs. That happened just recently with a very special project called The Oaks. It's an opportunity to hear some tremendous new music and give some attention to some very worthy causes. 50% of the profits from every album sold will go directly to benefit widows and recently-returned refugees [...]
