The 2008 BMA nominations are out so you know what the news is, here’s my reaction to it.
First, I’ve got a lot of music I need to get my hands on and hear before I submit my final ballot. I’m very interested in James Blood Ullmer’s album. Ullmer was nominated three or four times. […]

Wow, what a great time last night. Nick Moss did in fact come on the program last night and stayed with us for the full hour, giving up the Bears/Redskins game to talk about his new album Play It ‘Til Tomorrow. It was a real treat for me and I hope it was […]

The main topic for the evening was Bruce Springsteen. We rehashed Magic, discussed the current tour, and reflected on a few of our favorites. Guests Mark […]

Blue Bella Records released four new albums earlier this month (Oct. 9). I’ve reviewed two of them for Blogcritics — Nick Moss & The Flip Tops and Gerry Hundt — and talked about both here on the site.
I’ve now finally gotten the chance to go back to listen to the two I hadn’t […]

I’m one of the least YouTube people you will ever meet. I’ve never had an interest in it and continue to go to great lengths to avoid. In the process of doing a little research for my Nick Moss & The Flip Tops review, I came across video footage of Nick at the […]

Here is a post for those of you wondering if I’m on the Bruce Springteen payroll or if I’m capable or interested in writing about anyone else.

One of the hazards of this Fanboy gig is listening for pleasure can sometimes get pre-empted by listening for business. The calendar changes from September to October and I’ve got a slew of new releases due out this month and I’ve got to tell you all about them. This won’t absolve me of […]
