5 Iconic Bands Named After Its Members
A band’s name is one of, if not their most defining aspect. Just by the sound of its name, a listener can instantly picture a group’s members and songs in their minds. If done right, even a person who isn’t a fan of the group can get a feel of the band’s style just by hearing its name.

5 Iconic Bands That Descended From Other Bands
In the ever-changing world of music, the songs may last forever but the groups behind them may not. Bands often break up, and their members often go their separate ways. Sometimes they get back together, while other times, they strive out on their own.

The day I saw Ozzy Osbourne in person
I will never forget the day I met Ozzy Osbourne. July 29, 2022. Friday. Los Angeles, California. SiriusXM Studios. I can’t remember how I heard about it. It was either through an email or on the SiriusXM app. I found out that SiriusXM was giving away tickets to attend the release special of Ozzy Osbourne’s new album “Patient Number 9” at the SiriusXM studios in Los Angeles, CA. I clicked the link as soon as I saw it. Then, just a couple of days later I received an email informing me that I had won two tickets to the show!

It's Not Blue Monday - Some Favourite New Order Songs
Introduction. New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division and Ian Curtis’ suicide, and Joy Division were previously incarnated as Warsaw. New Order and Joy Division had Nazi origins and many punk bands donned Nazi regalia before it was seen, rightfully as an endorsement of Fascism, which ironically most of the punk movement was against.

A Plagiaristic Playlist
Introduction There are many songs that borrow from others, some acknowledge their source, and some don’t. Some are deliberate and some are accidental. These are some that I have noticed over my life and you may agree with me or disagree with me, some are obvious and some are a little harder to discern but hopefully, you will enjoy all of them. All of the songs are excellent it;s up to you whether or not you agree with me, but hopefully, this will spur some commentary.

The Night I performed at an Iconic Venue. Top Story - October 2022.
As a young man, I was heavily into the punk rock scene, and via my involvement in that, I produced a crude music fanzine called Aural Nightmares. I also attended many local gigs, starting off with mainstream acts, such as Chelsea and the Vibrators, but later branching off into the anarcho-punk sector, seeing bands like Conflict, Amebix and the Subhumans.

A New Wave Tarot Playlist #1
Introduction I always thought that the phrase New Wave was a dilution of the Punk ethic to make it more palatable for market consumption. Sort of when they learned to play they weren't punk anymore but they were New Wave. C’est La Vie

Listening To Music On The Move
Introduction I have had some issues with phones dying on me, using backup phones and eventually landing up with my Google Pixel 4XL. Since I got it I have not actually listened to any music on it even though I have some excellent wireless earphones/buds. I did load some music on for when I was going to use it but when I was walking I just didn’t bother listening to anything.
