Someday at Christmas man will not fail Hate will be gone and love will prevail Someday a new world that we can start With hope in every heart… There’s something about Stevie Wonder’s voice that gives me just the incredible sense of… I don’t know if peace is the word. Euphoria? No, that’s too strong.…
Well the Holiday Season is in full swing, isn’t it? People are still digesting their Thanksgiving dinners nearly a week later, legions of American consumers with peace and love and good cheer in their hearts are butchering their fellow citizens like pigs at the slaughter at Black Friday events all over the country, and DVRs…
In a lot of ways, you have to admire the sheer chutzpah that Kiss exhibited by dubbing their 1981 concept album Music From “The Elder” with that moniker. Almost immediately that title elevates the material to something of a new plateau; I mean, it’s not just another dopey album or anything like that. It’s the…
Another year, another round of Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs. But alas, Halloween 2014 draws to a close, so I hope you’ve had half as much fun with this year’s collection of tunes as I had putting it together. Until next year, my friends. Have an awesomely spooky and utterly buttkickin’ Halloween. One more from the inimitable…

Maybe you’ll think of me when you are all aloneMaybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrueThen what will you do? Maybe you might think that The Ink Spots classic 1940 tune Maybe, strictly speaking, isn’t a “Halloween” song. Maybe you’re right, but play the video below, listen to the music, close…
Green is the cat’s eye that glows in this Temple Enter the risen Osiris – risen again… Iron Maiden’s fifth studio album Powerslave is widely regarded as one of their finest releases ever, if not THE finest. It’s definitely in my Top 3 (along with The Number of the Beast and Killers); I distinctly remember…
Voices in the darkness Scream away my mental health Can I ask a question To help me save me from myself? Well it’s not like I’m not getting to Black Sabbath later… Oops. Spoiler alert. The title track from Ozzy’s landmark 1981 album Diary of A Madman is arguably the finest track of his best…
Oh I thought I got to be dreaming I didn’t know I fell in her trap… I can’t believe we’re in the last week of October, a few days from Halloween, which means we’re nearing the end of our month-long celebration of all things spooky and musical… which means we’re going to double our efforts…
