Beast In Black - Dark Connection (w/Bonus Tracks)

great album but the cover looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old...

Yeah, it's really good. Was happy to find there was some damn guitars on the album, because those singles had me worried. For whatever reason, the videos seems to dull the guitar tone on those tunes, and it's much more prominent on the album.

And is it just me, but is Yannis's vocals getting worse? He's gotten "rougher" with each album.

More new stuff...

City Of Thieves - Beast Reality
Clif Magness - Lucky Dog
Johnny Gioeli - One Voice
Magic Dance - New Eyes
Revolution Saints - Rise
Tesseract - One (w/Bonus DVD)
Wasteland Coven/Nothing Is Real - Turmoil (Split EP) Lords Of Black - Icons Of The New Days (w/Bonus Tracks)
Wildhearts, The - 21st Century Love Songs (w/Bonus Tracks)

I've been debating about that Wildhearts album.  The songs I've heard have their typical "Ginger moments" of melodic goodness but there's too much that sounds like his heavier projects.  This sounds more in the vein of Renaissance Men which I didn't care for too much.

I am jazzed!

The wife said my package of Charly Patton 78's came in the mail today.
21 in all.  Traded a gas tank from a 66 Shovelhead and headlight assembly for a 51 Indian Warrior.

Working on a trade for 4 Son House and 4 Mamie Smith 78's from same dude.

L.A. Guns - Checkered Past
Coverdale / Page - Coverdale / Page

It's definitely a bit on the heavier, more punk side, like Renaissance Men.

This bonus track (not on the version I bought) comes off like a demo, but it's a great, classic-sounding Wildhearts song. Wish they'd done a proper version of it.

Been nearly 20 years since the last Left Hand Solution album. Until earlier today, I had no idea they'd recently gotten back together, let alone released two EPs. Sadly, digital-only releases, but from the stuff I listened to on YouTube, they're still writing badass doom metal!

Temptations Wings - Marauders Of The Killing Moon

Off from work today so I met up with an old friend at our local used-music vendor for some CD scroungin' and then hit an Irish pub down the road for a few beers. Pulled this stack for just about $25:

Artch - Another Return to Church Hill

Various - We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones
