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...
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...

Give or take a month, it’s been twenty years since The Strokes released their third studio album, First Impressions of Earth. While the album was slightly criticised upon release as their weakest, I disagree...
