Let me present to you the best band in the world at this very moment:
On heavy rotation:
An album full of diamonds and diamonds.Movie of the moment:
«Midnight in Paris» is not only the best Woody Allen movie in quite some time (although I must say that I loved «Matchpoint» for its cold bourgeois-brutality) – it can also be seen as a witty comment on the current retro-trend. And it's pure cinematic joy!Book of the moment:
It's a paradox: Blogs like this one disenchant the music that enchants their makers. The obscure, the magic, the mystery that was an integral part of popular music until a few years ago, has now been shattered completely. The internet and all its effect has torn down the boundary that used to separate the past from the present in the cultural production: Everything is only a few mouseclicks away, from music to art, fashion, design - you name it. The downside: Popular culture finally eats itself, is obsessed with its own past and thus creates nothing new. This is one of the main thesis of renowned music journalist Simon Reynolds' in his excellent book «Retromania. Pop culture's addiction to its own past». Reynold goes one step further and makes an interesting point saying that Punk itself was a reactionary cultural movement, dreaming of a world "without the Sgt Peppers album". A sometimes pretty academic, well written, resourceful and very much recommended book!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! The link above goes to the shittiest band I have ever heart. Hahaha.
BLACK SABBATH were so fucking unreal in 1970. No other band came close to this. So evil sounding!!!!!!!

Sparks v. Black Sabbath? Tough call, Erich, but I’ll go with Sabbath 9 times out of 10.

You are all false, this is the best band in the world at the moment. And this is a band that has released good albums since 1973.

False? I wasn´t writing about anti-Manowar. I was to write wrong, nothing else.

This is so much better than Sparks. Nothing, mean nothing sounds as powerful as early Sabbath. Thanks Erich!

GBM > KBD

That’s stupid Sean. GBM = KBD. Best blogs on the net. Both of them in their own way! But Black Sabbath >>>>>> Sparks LOL

Thought I’d hit you up here as I wasn’t sure about getting involved in the Screwdriver mess for now. Not to steer away from controversy but to head straight for the best band ever in Black Sabbath. I wasn’t too sure what you and Peter were up to and I guess I rarely “get it” with you guys. No controversy in early Sabbath, that was the shit and still is. Sabbath without Ozzy and vice versa never came even close to this even though I think Dio is technically the better singer but his place was with Rainbow. By the way I wanted to congratulate you on doing this thing now for three years. I could suck your ass, toss your salad and go on and on about how great this thing you’ve got going here, but I just wanted instead to thank you for the music, your inspiration, opinions and virtual friendship.
