As you, fair reader, most likely know : Very little music that’s been recorded lately impresses me. Sure, there has been some great RE-ISSUES out lately with new re-masters or DVD-Audio, but as far as new artists go - very few come close to even touching ‘the bar’ anymore.

Well…… Shazam! I am here to tell you this : local hero Matt Maysreleased an album back in December that stands up to my difficult and sometimes ornery battery of ‘great music’ requirements. Original and well produced, the songs try to be nothing more than what they are.

Stand-out tracks, in no particular order;

• The Past
• Spoonful of Sugar
• Never Saw it Comin’
• 850 Commando
• Mornin’ Sun

And no, that is not an affiliate link. Just a good old fashioned rock and roll reccomendation from uncle Jake.

Vegas Photos Fixed. No more skipping.

RO, Sco Hop and I discussed the mysterious guitarist BucketHead in a recent gang-email exchange.

We were postulating on his identity, imagining that he was actually someone famous - despite publicity propaganda to the contrary.

RO came up with a plausible idea;

Or what about if he unmasked at the end of a concert and it was Elvis? Then he plays a 20 minute version of Hound Dog, leaves the stage, fakes his death one more time and is never heard from again.

I wonder how long people would talk about that?

They’d talk for a long time.
