Who Is Mr. Robot's Landlord? eps 2.8_h1dden-pr0cess.axx

This is my recap of eps 2.8_h1dden-pr0cesses.axx

It could have been called "things fall apart" because everyone that Elliot cares about is put at risk during this episode. But, in fairness, there was a kiss.

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

Rock Ain't Dead: #OPSThrowdown Playlist

Every Friday and Saturday I do what I call an #OPSThrowdown.

Basically, I try to create a string of videos around a theme entirely spontaneously. Now that I have a YouTube channel, I am posting them on Google+, YouTube (as a playlist), and linking them here.

Today's theme was "Rock Ain't Dead" + includes videos from Destruction Unit, Greys, La Misma, and Hallelujah The Hills.

Enjoy!

The One Where I Endorse Most Of Rolling Stone's Modern Punk List (sigh)

I love that Rolling Stone is encouraging people to explore more punk music. I even endorse many of the entries on their recent "10 Modern Punk Bands" list.

Here are links to many of those artists and several more that I recommend you check out too.

As always, Explore, Discover, and Enjoy!

My Gift to Belinda Carlisle: Music With Character

I challenged myself to come up with 40 good albums released in just the last two years so that I could respond to people, like Belinda Carlisle, who think no good music is being made today.

As usual, I believe music is fine, it is the industry that is doing a terrible job of communicating great music to the masses.

LA Weekly's Punk Rock Fantasy

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Ramones album Ramones and also the rise of punk rock in London. Unfortunately, this has caused the punk rock haters to come out of the woodwork to mock punk rock's ultimate impact on music as a whole.

One of these punk rock "hater" articles was published by LA Weekly, this is my response to that and most of the others.

Best of 2015: Barely Missed the Cut

The prequel to me Best of 2015 albums list. These are the albums that barely missed the cut.

Lots of great stuff on here including Cold Beat and La Misma.

Enjoy!
