I Wanna Bite Your Hand – Johnny Mystery – by Johnny Mystery. All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. We’re living in a yellow submarine […]
Summer Songs (And Then Some) – An Xperience Column – by Johnny Mystery. Well I wonder who bop-a-do has gotten to the beach yet? Not me. Not yet, but any day now. The clock is ticking. We’re just about halfway through. What am I waiting for? What are you waiting for? Where did summer go? […]
The Top Forty Desert – An Xperience Column – by Johnny Mystery. Out in the arid plains, we find the vapid wasteland we refer to as Pop Music. The Top 40 landscape has been talked of ad nauseam since this antiquated art form appeared nearly a century ago. Where’s the melody anyway? I didn’t ask […]
A World Without Cramps – An Xperience Column – by Johnny Mystery. Sometimes it seems to take forever for something original to catch on. Sometimes it never catches on at all.

We got some new records to kick things off right and my personal recommendations for some tunes you may have missed or perhaps you just forgot about. That’s okay, no judgements here.

2023 Wrap-Up – An Xperience Column – by Johnny Mystery. Yeah, so as I write these words, a cold wind is blowing, and The Beatles and The Stones are riding high on the pop charts. Makes me wonder what Gerry and The Pacemakers are doing these days. Really tough, at this point I’m not telling […]
From Dallas to LA – a Column by Johnny Mystery. Well, more like Dallas to the San Fernando Valley, which is where The Preachers hailed from, but they found fame in the city of the angels. The Preachers are one of two bands we’ll be checking out here. They were five guys who just wanted […]
