Carnival of Rock and Roll–January 2010

Submitted by D.A.N. on Sun, 01/03/2010 - 00:00

It's Carnival of Rock 'n' Roll time again... the very first carnival of 2010. This month will be another more mellow carnival (at least compared to come of the massive ones of the past), but I'm not complaining. There were lots of interesting things submitted and I really enjoyed taking a read.

Better Than Ezra Still Puts on a Pretty Fun Live Show

Submitted by D.A.N. on Wed, 12/16/2009 - 00:00

Never one to pass up a good concert if I have any choice in the matter, I have once again been attending musical events with vigor. This time it was a band that I've seen a few times before and they've always put on a good, fun, high energy show: Better Than Ezra.

Rock and Roll Feature: 30 Years of London Calling and the Clash

This is the thirty-second in a series of Rock & Roll features I'm writing for this site. I'm a rock and roller, so this column is a way for me to feature a different album that I like, from different genres every month.

Carnival of Rock and Roll-December 2009

Submitted by D.A.N. on Wed, 12/02/2009 - 00:00

Well last month with the return to regular carnivals, we had the biggest carnival I've ever seen... and this month, perhaps ironically, we have the smallest. In fact, the carnival this month contained so few submissions I thought I forgot to make it available on BlogCarnival.com, but I didn't. I thought maybe there were problems with my carnival email, but there aren't.

The Mars Volta, an Incredible Live Experience

Submitted by D.A.N. on Wed, 11/25/2009 - 00:00

It was well over two months ago that I was lucky enough to see this band live. I meant to write a review almost immediately, but between site overhauls, other issues and a series of delays, this is the first time I'm actually getting around to doing so properly. Consider it a testament to how much I enjoyed this show that I'm still writing a review so much later.

The Mars Volta Tear it Up Live With Rapid Fire Psychedelic Style

Submitted by D.A.N. on Sun, 11/22/2009 - 00:00

A few months prior... before the site overhaul, many unique circumstances and many many more delays, I went to a concert. That by itself is not all that uncommon as I go to a number of concerts every year and will certainly go to more every year in the future.

Rock and Roll Feature: SRV and Double Trouble Bring a Blues Flood Right out of Texas

Carnival of Rock and Roll-November 2009

Submitted by D.A.N. on Wed, 11/04/2009 - 00:00

Well now that the Soul of Rock 'n' Roll has returned in all it's rockin' glory, it seems about time for the Carnival of Rock 'n' Roll to return from it's dormancy as well. This carnival was definitely an interesting one to sort through though.

Thoughts on Lollapalooza 2009 and Them Crooked Vultures

Submitted by D.A.N. on Tue, 08/11/2009 - 23:00

So we are a few days post Lollapalooza 2009 now. Unfortunately financial difficulties (a fancy way of saying "lack of money") prevented me from going this year. I scrimped and saved, but unforeseen headaches arose and things fell through... a shame too because it sounds like it was a pretty sweet three days.

Rock and Roll Feature: Unlock the Multifaceted Octahedron with the Mars Volta

Submitted by D.A.N. on Wed, 08/05/2009 - 23:00

This is the thirtieth in a series of Rock & Roll features I'm writing for this site. I'm a rock and roller, so this column is a way for me to feature a different album that I like, from different genres every month.

Today I put forward what is the 30th Rock and Roll feature I've done in the past 2-1/2+ years. There's been a lot of variety, albums new and old, during that stretch and each one remains a favorite of mine for some reason or another to this day.
