Zero To 99

(soon)


Well, fuck. The 'Ships turn in something a little different this time, but with all the rock intact. These tunes circle in my head all day. The little solo from Radical Amazement pops in my head when I turn corners into hallways. The amazing melody from the chorus on Let It Rest For A Little While almost brings tears to my eyes. And, Meddle... Holy shit, Meddle.

Jar of Jam Ton of Bricks

(picture coming)


A lovely side project by the name of Cosmos. This one was a real grower, but it has delivered quite nicely. Fantastic melodies on this one.

I made a trip up to the Southgate House last week and visited the famed Shake It Records in Cincinnati. Thanks to them, I have filled some (two) gaps in my collection. The Cincinnati/Newport area is beautiful and I see myself living there sooner than later.

This album is quite possibly Bob's best ever. Never stop listening to it.

Only one thing to say...

Alien Lanes



In these sad times, when I don't understand where my life is supposed to go or what I'm supposed to be and my days get darker and darker, finally having Alien Lanes on vinyl offers a small glimpse of light. Maybe things will be OK one day.

Gringo



This album is a motherfucking monster. The Circus Devils have really hit their stride in the last few albums and it seems they've found their sound. This record has everything you could ever want from a CD LP. It's haunting, creepy, epic, dark, and more than anything it fucking rocks real fucking hard. Bob's melody-making is absolute tops and the Tobias bros only know how to out-do themselves. Six stars.
