I’ll always look forward to any Johnny Cash recording. He’s definitely one of the fingers on my hand to count of artists I’ll enjoy until my own grave. But objectively, “Ain’t No Grave” is a nice album to hear, even if you’re not a ravenous fan of the man. Sure, it’s not quite as good [...]

1 Comment »Celebrate Valentine’s Weekend with JUDAS PRIEST
February 10th, 2010 rberry VH1 has brought back their nice “Behind the Music” series with “remastered” new versions that feature new interviews and updates from the last 10-15 years. Judas Priest certainly has one of the more interesting rock band stories to tell, from their horrible court fight against a family that blamed their lyrics for their son’s death, [...]
Rob Zombie’s Latest, Hellbilly Deluxe 2, Is Great Spooky Fun!
February 6th, 2010 rberry Simply put, Rob Zombie’s latest CD “Hellbilly Deluxe 2″ delivers the goods. A look at the tracklist with crazy ass spooky titles like “Jesus Frankenstein”, “Sick Bubblegum” and “Mars Needs Women” got my hopes up, and listening it as I drove around in the rain with the volume up high did not disappoint. Nobody does [...]

retroMUSIC Review: PE’s “A Nation of Millions” Still Rocks
December 27th, 2009 rberry I don’t know why Public Enemy affected me so much as a 19 year old white kid back in 1989. I saw Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing and was blown away by how damn good that movie was. During the opening credits PE’s song “Fight The Power” played while newcomer Rosie Perez [...]

November 7th, 2009 rberry Being born in 1969 was the best time to be a retro-kid. I got to grow up with the best cartoons, coolest music, and witness the full range birth and evolution of video games. Best of all, I was blessed with the gift of Sesame Street from year 1 forward. So as [...]

October 19th, 2009 rberry Nellie McKay sure wowed them at Yoshi’s Jazz Club in San Francisco. The last of 6 shows over 3 days in San Francisco, her set which largely centered on her new album of Doris Day covers was a delight from start to finish. I had a bizarre seat in the front row about 3 feet [...]
Nellie McKay CD Review “Normal As Blueberry Pie”
October 14th, 2009 rberry I popped this in my car stereo hoping to hear a few tracks on the way to work, and because of a super rainstorm induced traffic jam, was able to hear each track in its entirety before I pulled up to the old parking lot. It was good enough to make me want to drive [...]
Miley Cyrus Deletes Twitter Account…Makes Video About it???
October 9th, 2009 rberry How pathetic is this? Miley apparently deleted her 2 million follower strong Twitter account this week because she’s “too busy” to maintain it anymore, yet still has the time to write a rap song about it and film a bit that’s got the production quality of an amateur ’80s aerobic video. I eagerly await the [...]
