Best of All Worlds – Part DEUX – a review by Dick Beach. Yes, ladies and gentlemen – a second review of the Sammy Hagar extravaganza. Why? Well, rather than SPAC, I, my buddy Lou (he’s in Hungry Dingo), my brother-in-law Michael and cousin (on my wife’s side) Edward left the cozy confines of our […]
Mammoth WVH: Wolf Van Halen is Doing Things…His Way by Michael Bruce. Mammoth WVH rocked a packed house on a Sunday night at Albany’s Empire Live music venue. It was Garrett Whitlock on drums, Ronnie Ficarro on bass, Jon Jourdan on guitar, Frank Sidoris on another guitar, and oh yeah, Wolf Van Halen on lead […]
Super 400 – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. My night began in inauspicion. Having given myself the pre-door pat-down (wallet, keys, phone) I was one short. Now dear reader, these are the brain, heart, and lungs of my earthly business, so the loss of any was a code blue. My wallet, containing cards, […]
Donny Osmond – The Palace Theatre – Review – by Klyde Kadiddlehumper. The Palace Theater – July 3, 2024 Ever watched your entire life flash before your eyes?

Up until now, that’s meant putting on regional premieres of wild plays like Theresa Reback’s Dig (produced […]
Vibes and No Fun – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. I like chronicling my Friday nights for a number of reasons. I used to be a bit of a recluse. I was that guy who promised my friends I’d go to their show and stare down the long hallway to the front door […]
Chef Dave and the Blues Allstars – PapaSweenBean’s Friday Night – by Liam Sweeny. It was a Friday night. Not that hot but the still air was in need of a hug. I hadn’t been out. Sick. Tired. Sick and tired of being sick and tired but the point remained the same, I needed to […]
Pre – Epic Fits – An Album Review by Joshua Reedy. (2007) My copy: 2007 press on blue vinyl by Skin Graft Records. Beginning (as all punk bands do) with a small rash of 7” singles and live performances, London’s Pre committed roughly 25 minutes of blistering rock chaos to their debut LP in 2007. […]
Death Grips – The Money Store – Album Review – by Joshua Reedy. Death Grips – The Money Store (2012) My copy: 2018 reissue by Epic. Regardless of how one feels about Death Grips, the sensation they generated through the internet was easily a defining moment for alternative music in the 2010s. Where Ex Military […]
