Some Favourite Labels
Introduction When I was first getting into music, there were certain labels that had a familial feel to them, and seemed not to be part of the mainstream, although they were owned by someone like EMI, Warner or Sony.

Some Music YOU Will Probably Hate
Introduction This is for Sam Spinelli's challenge that you can read about here: Now, the thing is, I don't hate any music. I might find some annoying or banal like elevator music, and the fact that almost all music seems to end up advertising something, but if something comes on the radio and I don't like it, I switch it off or change channels.

Rock 'n' Roll Highschool
Riff Randell (actress P.J. Soles) likes to rock ’n’ roll — that much is safe to say. And in this cult hit from 1979, she does her rocking with the help of those lovable lunkheads The Ramones (who, according to singer — the late frog-legged crooner Joey Ramone — once collectively pissed in a beer before handing it to John “Johnny Rotten” Lydon). She’s ensconced at Vince Lombardi High, a school where even Mötley Crüe might feel at home, thanks to all the “smokin’ in the boys room.”

10 Nineties Emo Albums You Should Hear
I'll admit it: I've been a bad emo kid. Like a lot of millennials, I sincerely thought that emo started in the 2000s, when bands like Taking Back Sunday and Aiden appeared on the scene. However, when I did some research, I learned that emo's roots go all the way back to the mid-eighties.

Brian D'Ambrosio interview
Driven To Keep Creating: A Life of William “Bear” Rinehart By Brian D'Ambrosio Son of a preacher, William Rinehart grew up in Seneca, South Carolina, at the high foothills of the Appalachians. His mother taught piano lessons. His father played the trumpet. Music was a mixture of gospel, rural hillbilly, bluegrass, and rock and roll, all slammed together. At age 13, his job on the weekends was to vacuum the old ugly carpet at the church and he liked it when the congregation left their instruments strewn about. In between spells of cleaning, he would pick up a guitar and study the sheet notes.
