Another weekend, another update, another town. Oh, no wait: same town. But definitely another update, and a few interesting things to tell you about, including a brand spanking new journal that's already being talked about!
And it's there indeed that we start, as we welcome the perhaps-unkindly named
Big Ears to the fold, where his journal
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...s-journal.html has already biographies of ELP, Budgie and Golden Earring, as well as reviews of albums by Paris, Simon and Garfunkel and Joe Walsh! Can you spell eclectic?
This guy is working hard, so much so that Unknown Soldier and myself had better pull our collective socks up or we'll be left behind!
As for me, (yeah, I'm second again --- come on, you people with names beginning with C-S!) I've a few little updates of my own, in my main journal
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html where we have reviews of albums from Motorhead, Carbon Based Lifeforms and the new one from Men Without Hats (STOP singing “We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands” this INSTANT! Humph!) There's also a return for “Velvet Fist”, where once again we look at some metal ballads and slower songs from the genre. Meanwhile, in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...i-reviews.html there are review of albums from Nick Cave, the late Dan Fogelberg (look for a full feature on him very soon) and the pride of Ireland, Mary Black.
Finally, you can always rely on
Unknown Soldier. His
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html is in the process of wrapping up his look at 1970, with albums from the iconic, er, Flower Travellin' Band (they're from Japan, does that help? No?), Grand Funk (a live album this time), The Stooges (at the request of his Batlordship), and Atomic Rooster. There are also mentions for bands who missed the cut, as he puts it, for that year, and some cool pictures. It's all there, waiting for you!
And once again, that's sort of it. I believe Janszoon is away, so hopefully we can expect some updates from him soon, but I must give a hearty slap on the wrist to Unrelenting: it's nine days to Halloween! Where

Well, maybe this time next week. But you've got a lot of ground to cover....
Toodles!
