  Wow! feels like I haven't posted anything in months. It's really only been about a month and a half, but still feels like forever. Anyway, i've done very little record shopping in this hiatus but the few records i have bought have been some great stuff. Lets start off with just one album this post, ...

• You're such a Brat!

  by Jose March 21, 2012
  Well here it is folks, another great find and im sure a 45 that's on every power-poppers list of must haves. Yes im talking about Brat, the precursor to Artful Dodger.

  This is one of those band that has been labeled as heavy metal and powerpop at the same time and it couldn't be further from the truth. Hailing from New Jersey, Starz made four studio albums and in my opinion the first three are the best. The first two albums have a hard rock feel to it while the th...

• Something new

  by Jose February 6, 2012
  So I went on my usual record hunt and found some new old tunes. The first one is The Beatles Costello on Joe Pope's Pious Records. It consists of 4 tracks and while all are written well, Soldier of Love is the only track that really stands out the rest are instrumentals. The band features Andy Paley...

• To post or not to post?

  by Jose February 1, 2012
  So I've been thinking of starting a music blog (yes another one of the many out there) for the past month or so. I would of course post my latest finds whether it's 45s,LPs, cassettes or Cds but find that i've been really lazy to do so. Yes we all have those type of day, some more than other (case i...
