CommentsOn this week's Artist Hour (Saturday, 10 PM) we will be exploring the vast catologue of London's Wire. Pink Flag (1977) has been called one of the most original debuts to come out of England's punk-scene and have released 12 albums through 2011 and plan to release a new album "Change Becomes Us" in March 2013.
CommentsOn Friday, Febuary 22, PBS will air a special documentary on Sister Rosetta Tharpe titled "The Godmother of Rock and Roll". So in honor of this ocasion, I have decided that I would explain to everyone reading this why I think that Sister Rosetta Tharpe may in fact be the most influential, if not one of the greatest, musicians to have ever lived.
CommentsFor some, Imam Baildi is the name of a tasty Greek dish featuring baked eggplant, stuffed with tomato, onion, and garlic (meat and cheese are optional).
CommentsIf you are a frequent listener of my show, then you know that Metal Storm is my go-to source for metal news. Every February, voting for the Metal Storm Awards opens up, and members of the site vote for their favorite metal releases of the previous year. Because my show focuses on symphonic metal, I played songs from the nominated albums last week. Sadly, my favorite symphonic metal album of 2012 was not nominated. In my opinion, however, Epica's Requiem for the Indifferent was the best symphonic metal album of 2012 if not the best metal album of 2012. As the band has progressed in their career, the riffs have gotten heavier and more rhythmic, but the bombastic symphonic and choral elements remain as strong as ever. Requiem for the Indifferent features grandiose metal epics, memorable symphonic metal tracks, and perhaps the band's most radio-friendly single to date -- all in all, their strongest album to date. Here is a music video for the first single from the album. For the more epic tracks, go pick up a copy from your favorite music retailer.
