Action Time Vision: A Story of UK Independent Punk 1976-1979 (Cherry Red Records)

Cherry Red Records recently released a box-set of hard to find early UK punk rock classics called Action Time Vision.

If you love punk music or are interested in the history of punk and post-punk music, you will love this 111 song box-set (it is awesome).

Enjoy!

Chill Out About the 100 Greatest Drummers Of All Time (Rolling Stone)

Rolling Stone Magazine put out their list of the "Top 100 Drummers of All-Time" today. Some people have lost their minds in response to the list.

As a drummer, I ask everyone to chill and celebrate the greatest stick men and women ever (and make some comments about the list - because I can).
