Can – Future Days (1973) – Album Review by Joshua Reedy. My copy: 2014 remastered reissue by Spoon Records.

Falling […]
Vixen Lights Up the Strand Theater – by Michael Bruce. Before I get into Vixen in 2023, let’s go back to 1988. The all-female rock band’s self-titled first album, ‘Vixen’, came out that year and turned a lot of heads. However, as the story goes, many thought, (in a world full of male rock bands […]
