Nothing but nicely written music today. We start off with a shiny new song from Dinosaur JR, possibly the shiniest one J wrote since Take A Run At The Sun. Alice Cooper recorded a tribute to Detroit and we check out a cover of an Outrageous Cherry song. Rat Columns and Cool Ghouls are back […]

Today we start off with a track from the new album for Alaicia Bognano’s Bully. Then we introduce Tough Age from Toronto. Also, new to us are Manarays from Brisbane and Beans from Melbourne. Australians, of course. Then. We have two solo musicians hiding between the band names. Tommy Marolda is The Toms and Dishelved […]

Today at the lighthouse we have nothing but the heavyweight legends of rock’n’roll, all mostly with the new material. We start off with Bob Dylan and Neil Young. Bob has a new record and Neil released unpublished recordings from 1975. We also have two ex members of Green on Red with new records for each […]

Happy new year, everyone. Today we finish the list of best albums in 2019 (top 13). In my opinion, Danny and the Doorknobs return album Jukebox in the LA River stands out in it’s playful quality among the rest of this year’s production. The band also released another digital only album as Trotsky Icepick this […]

Remember when a couple of weeks ago we announced Danny and The Doorknobs phenomenal comeback album? That band is perhaps much better known in the rock’n’roll history books as Trotsky Icepick. Only two months after the return with Juebox in LA River, Trotsky Icepick is back with an album with the moniker they are much better […]

Chris Butler and Ralph Carney recorded an album about odd holidays, shortly prior to Carney’s death. […]
