Bright Nights * Dark Days

I’d been hearing “Champagne” throughout the summer on rock radio. I saw the video on Fuse a couple of times as well and found myself singing/humming/whistling the hook all the time.

A Senile Animal

This is the best Melvins cd in years….YEARS, perhaps ever. Like the previous reviewer said, “it will make you remember why you love the Melvins to begin with”. Not only are the songs just plain amazing, the seamless integration of two drummers sounds SO natural! Coady is already amazing enough in Big Business, but now [...]

Live At Hollywood High

You may not have been on tenterhooks, but for EC completists, here at last is a 20-track set recorded at the Hollywood High on June 4, 1978.I’m still the proud owner of the original 3-track vinyl promotional “Live at the Hollywood High” EP of the show released in 1979, the cover of which famously featured [...]
