The evolution of the Foo Fighters discography has been an interesting one.
The band’s self-titled debut featured only Dave Grohl, in an attempt to establish himself as a new force in the music world. The band’s follow up, The Colour and the Shape became an instant classic. Their third album, There Is Nothing Left To Lose, was […]

It’s hard to believe that it’s taken Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder so long to release an entire non-Pearl Jam album. Afterall, Stone Gossard has Brad and one solo album, Jeff Ament with Three Fish, Matt Cameron has Wellwater Conspiracy and Mike McCready had Mad Season and The Rockfords.
That’s not to say that Vedder hasn’t […]

It’s that time of year when the dreaded school year begins, but who said it can’t be fun?
I’m sure that many of us at some point saw a Schoolhouse Rock short, whether you were around in the 70’s or not. But, if you had never heard of Schoolhouse Rock, you certainly had to in […]

If you have ever seen the spectacle that is a Flaming Lips concert, then you know that this band is one of the best live shows around. Imagine their already famous show, but at a zoo in their hometown. That’s exactly what U.F.O’s at the Zoo delivers.
Filmed on September 15, 2006 at the Zoo Amphitheater in […]

So last week I wrote an FYI post about Alice in Chains and another B5 blogger, Jennifer who writes some great stuff at Hippie Sounds, reminded me of Mad Season’s Above.
Mad Season was a Seattle supergroup consisting of AIC frontman Layne Staley, Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready, Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin and […]

This was STP’s third, and in my opinion, their best album from 1996. While Core was a decent debut and Purple remains a classic; Tiny Music established STP as one of the best bands from the 90’s. The album was, and still is, incomparable to the rest of STP’s catalog.
