I have never bought an Iron Maiden album in my life, but I think Michael Butler is selling me one. Here is his track by track of the album, Part 1 and Part 2. I really love this and in fact where he gave Disk 1 a 5.5 out of 6, I would have given it 6/6 because I like the song "Speed of...

I just listened to the episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show where he interviewed Inger Lorre about the rise and fall of her band the Nymphs. He got to the end and said "I'm going to play one more song, I don't even know what it is." Following that, I heard the opening notes of Black...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR35pRz7JQ8 Yesterday I listened to Michael Butler do a track by track of the new Darkness album Last of Our Kind. I liked it, I like the Darkness in general.

Back in January, my friend Michael Butler was a guest on Sonic Subversion, a program on Radio Valencia. I'm finally getting around to listening it today. I heard my own name mentioned in the first few minutes, so I think that counts as a great show. Rock...
read articleRock and Roll Geek Scoring System
By and large, I really like Michael Butler's Rock and Roll Geek album scoring system. He gives each song a 0, 1/2 or 1 and then adds it up and it almost always comes up with something sensible. However... I am listening to this episode where he is scoring both the new Scorpions album "Return...

Dear Len Peralta and Brian Ibbot, re your discussion on Geek A Week about long-running podcats: You were correct about Dawn and Drew's show being older than Coverville, however you missed a few. Both my podcast and Michael Butler's Rock and Roll Geek Show are still going and older than Coverville....

Yesterday was a big day in my intersection of rock and roll and Twitter. First, I listened to Rock and Roll Geek Show episode in which he did a track by track of the Steve Conte NYC album.

Before we get too far from the holiday season, let me put in a pointer for my single favorite modern Xmas song. The title of this post is not my editorial postion, it's actually the title: "The Greatest Xmas Song Ever Written" by American Heartbreak. This is the sadly defunct band of my...

Here is some of the shows that have recently jumped out at me from my podcast listening. I'm about 6 weeks behind in my listening. I wrote a script to add up the running time of my queue and it currently is hovering around 9 days worth of listening. I'm in no danger of catching up. I recently...

read articleEGC Six Year Podiversary is Tomorrow
Tomorrow I'm going to do something I very rarely do. I'm going to sit down and record an episode of the EGC Podcast before I go to work, crackly morning voice and all. This is because I got a wild hair up my ass on August 20, 2004 and recorded the first episode of what became my podcast. I referred...

I very seldom put external files in the feed here. In fact I'm not sure if I've ever done it before. I want to for this one. As far as I'm concerned this was part of the EGC canon. I really enjoyed being on Good Clean Fun with Butler and Jasper. Balls were busted, jokes told, people were ragged on...

I listened to all three of Michael Butler recent interviews with geezer rockers. I tally them as going two for three. I loved the interview with Howard Kaylan of the Turtles and Flo and Eddie fame, and I loved the interview with Tommy James. Both of those guys were really nice to Mike, very candid...

In the last few days, I've listened to several interesting interviews. The first has to be my favorite episode of the Rock and Roll Geek Show so far.

Tonight via Skype I got to be the guest co-host of The Rock and Roll Geek Show. It was a blast and I just hope I sounded more sensible than I felt.
