Great to see my review from @echoesanddust.bsky.social being mentioned in Gazpacho new album from Kscope.

Out now: King Crimson’s In The Wake Of Poseidon and Lizard. Both feature new stereo and Atmos mixes by Steven Wilson and new Elemental mixes by David Singleton. I’m pleased to have provided the 2000-word essays accompanying these transitional releases from the mighty Crim.

RIP Space Ace. Say what you want about KISS, but they were the comic-book superhero group that came out of nowhere with mixtures of Hard Rock, blended in with Glam, and pure theatrics, explosives, and mind-blowing sounds. Alive, say what you want, you can't deny the power and the beauty behind it.

RIP Space Ace. Thanks for the memories. While I wasn't the massive KISS fan, he was a true force. I always prefer from KISS to Love Gun, their golden-era. And then, there were three. Peter, Gene, and Paul. Say what you want about them, the four were dynamic in the '70s.

My favorite episode

Today would've been my Mom's 78th Birthday. Happy heavenly Birthday Mom, see you on the other side.

If you don't believe me, here's a video of Anika, then decide.

Now its been ten years since Rush had come full circle when they completed the R40 tour, this'll be a new circle with Anika. People are jumping to conclusions about this, criticism. My response, see the show, then decide. Yes it won't be the same, but let's see how she does.

When I heard they were touring again yesterday, my first thought was "Are you sure about this?" It wasn't until I watched YouTube clips of Anika and she brought the fire and has my stamp of approval. She has the sounds of Rock, Jazz, Fusion, and the Progressive realms in her back-bone.

I was very fortunate to have seen Rush twice, one for their Snakes & Arrows tour, and the Clockwork Angels tour, which was the last time I saw Neil live. When we lost Neil five years ago, its almost we lost a part of our childhood when he passed in January of 2020.

My take on the new drummer for Rush named Anika Nilles. I welcome it. Yes, it won't be the same without the Professor in the realm, but it is a way for them to honor their friend, their brother, and the man who brought power and energy on those albums that we grew up on.

Review | The Utopia Strong - Doperider by @zmnathanson.bsky.social

"You feel as if you’re inside this surreal western, revealing the past and the present unfolding in front of your very eyes with electronic and ambient arrangements."

The first semester was originally going to be into filmmaking, but that didn't go according to plan when I started originally. So Music in Performance I took in the fall, and the rest as they say is history.

After watching Superman. I give it a 7 to 8 out of 10. It's an okay movie, not perfect, but okay, it dragged a bit. But it's not bad. If you enjoyed it, that's wonderful, and I hope you had a great time.

And yes, Krypto steals the show. I've always been a DC guy and will be until the day I die.

Review | Faust - Faust (2025 Reissue) by @zivljub1.bsky.social

"50+ years after its original release back in 1971, it still sounds as timeless as it did then, with the new remaster extracting some additional nuances that might've been missed the 1st time around."

I just remembered something. 20 years ago I started the fall semester during my nine year run at Houston Community College which is now Houston City College. The start of me doing reviews was when I did Commercial Music Forum. Kaminari Taiko, Randy Newman, Avishai Cohen, McCartney & Stones.

Give Dead Space to Bloober team.

Where's Hunter S. Thompson when you need him?
