Re: Look at the great comments (Not That You Even Tried reviews)

Not That You Even Tried (In order of appearance) James Owens - Very Clint Eastwood western music stuff….I love this. You have such a wonderful-to-listen-to voice. Not to mention the lyrics.

Re: Watch this, guys (Bunny Hop reviews)

Bunny Hop reviews I know, title not much to work with here…. Everybody gets a trophy just for submitting… WreckdoM. The vocals remind me of Blondie in the snarky kind of way. She is really good at that. Backing rhythm is cool. Sometimes the vocals get lost in the music. Not a bad thing, just hard to...

Actually, the title appears in the last line of the bridge….and, thanks !!!!

Re: Road-rash is a badge of honor (Thrasher reviews)

Thrasher reviews….. The Magnetic Letters - This is a really good song and story. Reminds me of Lightfoot’s ‘Edmund Fitzgerald’ song. Good lyrics and vocals are really nice. Paco del Stinko - OK, I finally know you’re lineage, Paco….you are the thrashing spawn of an AC/DC and Van Halen hook-up….In th...
