70s music
The 1970s were all about sex, drugs and rock and roll; Beat welcomes you to our Disco Inferno.
The Crazy Train of Life:
I was born in 1984. Two of my favorite uncles introduced my parents, and both of them were really into the music scene in Oregon (yes, connected to things like the Grateful Dead and the Cherry Poppinā Daddies, for context). They were also very into wrestling. Often, both of these uncles, who were my favorites when I was a kid, would babysit me.

The El Pea Situation
Introduction About a month ago, I started becoming obsessed with the vinyl album "El Pea", and I am not sure why. I had also aquired a copy of "Bumpers", which is a great album, and "Nice Enough To Eat" was one of the first albums that I bought, and it introduced me to a lot of artists who are absolute favourites of mine.

Farewell to Ozzy the Prince of Darkness
I was never too much into heavy metal but at times I would give a listen and Ozzy was one you could never close your ears too. There was just too much to like. In celebration of his life coming into this world as John Michael āOzzyā Osbourne on December 3, 1948 and leaving this world on July 22, 2025. He was an English singer, songwriter, and media personality. In the 1970s Ozzy was the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath and later set out solo with his own albums.

Louder Than Legends: Why Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath Were More Influential Than The Beatles
When it comes to musical influence, The Beatles are often worshipped as untouchable godsāthe Mount Olympus of rock and pop. Their melodies, mop-tops, and psychedelic studio wizardry are burned into music history. But letās be real: for countless working musicians, especially those who actually plug in an amp and bleed calluses onto their fretboards, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath rewired the entire musical universe in ways The Beatles never could.

Songs that get stuck in your head (earworms)
It's 3 AM, and you're lying in bed trying to fall asleep when suddenly, without warning, your mind begins to play the opening bars of "Don't Stop Believin'" for what feels like the thousandth time today. You didn't choose this musical momentāit simply appeared, uninvited, like an overly enthusiastic house guest who refuses to leave. Welcome to the fascinating, sometimes maddening world of earworms.
