She Who Shall Not Be Named and I were in Whole Foods earlier today, searching for these GFCF vanilla sandwich cookies that apparently only exist at this one store in Tampa, and this older WF employee in the act of stocking shelves started singing a familiar song: So ya Thought ya Might like to Go to the show. To feel that warm thrill of confusion, That space cadet glow. I've got some bad news for...

This is one of the most offensive things I’ve ever seen. These people are truly riddled with every kind of psychological disorder under the sun. These parents should be jailed for child abuse. And the flute player? Death penalty. Jethro Tull is rolling over in his grave.

Ohhh no not a boring north american heavy rock band again! You think, but I think you should give this band a chance. They mix some kind of Heavy rock with a slightley Jethro Tull feeling one some tracks. I get a feeling that they didn't know what kind of music they wanted to play. Some tracks have flute and saxophone and some have riffing guitars. How ever a really good album my favourit tracks are...

After reading Paul’s post below, I became very concerned that The Volokh Conspiracy might surpass this blog in vacant chatter, so I’ve decided to quickly add some more here so that we (like the Minnesota Twins last night) can once again take a half-game lead. Here at Oklahoma City University School of Law, one of our great strengths over the past few years has been in law and rock music. Alex Long,...

The nominees for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Class of 2009 were released today: Jeff Beck, Chic, Wanda Jackson, The Stooges, Run-D.M.C., Little Anthony & The Imperials, Metallica, WAR and Bobby Womack are under consideration; only five will make the cut. The Stooges are probably the only lock in that group but there's a valid case to be made for each of the nominees, even if Wanda Jackson makes

Rituals are important to me. My Psyche needs ritual to herald the arrival of new states of being. So I do certain things at specific times of the year. Besides the major things like decorating the house at Christmas, I have several minor things to mark the passing of time. My rituals are even more vital since I [...]

I recently got a record in the mail by a UK band named Blood Ceremony. It’s not terrible; it kinda sounds like the first Black Sabbath album, with a little bit of Uriah Heep organ and some Jethro Tull flute-tooting. The lyrics are all about Satanic rituals and the occult, and the achingly retro sound would make Witchcraft drool with envy. The band has one major weak point, though: the vocalist. She’s...
