The Hidden Track

Revolver

I have always been fascinated by the year 1967. So many legendary albums came out that year. But none of it would have happened without all different choices and changes that occurred in 1966. There were societal changes of course, new psychedelic...

My Chemical Romance – Long Live the Black Parade

Get out your face paint, ripped jeans and black coats, the Black Parade has returned after 20 years of marching. Emos from near and far gathered for one out of the three sold out shows in Wembley Stadium, London. I was one of the lucky few who were...

Madra

By NewDad

It’s difficult to set yourself apart in the world of indie rock where it seems like every dude you meet who has a pedal and listens to way too much Smashing Pumpkins (and that’s coming from a Smashing Pumpkins fan)...

Good!

By Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin defined rock. They Still do. Forty-five years after their amicable breakup, they still hold true as a staple of the genre. Jimmy Page, an era-defining guitarist, had a background as a studio musician. He...

Nice / Not too bad

Look Up

A Complete Unknown

By James Mangold

James Mangold’s Walk The Line was okay. It wasn’t by any means a great film, it wasn’t even a great music biopic… but it was okay. It used Johnny Cash’s life to tell a compelling story. It was...

Awesome!

Uncovered

By Al-Qasar

Nice / Not too bad

High Fidelity

By Stephen Frears

When I first saw High Fidelity as a teenager in the late ‘90s, it felt like a revelation. It spoke directly to my adolescent sensibilities about love, heartbreak, and the idea that music could be the grand unifier of...
