The Metal/Punk Continuum: Bye Bye Pleasant Street Video
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2011/06/bye-bye-pleasant-street-video.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Thursday, June 30, 2011. Bye Bye Pleasant Street Video. Much ink has been spilled (figuratively) in recent years about how the doldrums of the music industry have meant the veritable death knell of the local record store. Thing is, in the peculiar place where I reside, you'd hardly know it. Sure, we lost one longstanding member of the record store fraternity in recent years - Dynamite Records, RIP.

The Metal/Punk Continuum: November 2010
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Monday, November 22, 2010. Keith Richards' Race Thing. My book on the history of the electric guitar, Instruments of Desire. I'm now in the midst of reading Keith Richards' new autobiography, Life. All of which is mere prelude to a more extended riff by Richards concerning the wonders of a Mississippi juke joint for a group of white, blues-worshiping Brits. Richards' words here are worth quoting at length:. Links to this post. Links to this post.

Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Monday, October 25, 2010. Here's the thing - because there's gotta be a thing right? Wind ensemble, and the many a capella singing groups. So where did I fit in? Does this sound as weird as I think it does? Boston · Long Time. Explore more music videos. Links to this post. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. The State of the Record Industry.

The Metal/Punk Continuum
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2009/08/its-been-month-since-my-last-post.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Saturday, August 8, 2009. It's been a month since my last post, during which time I've been to Liverpool and back, and have been working on way too many little projects that have forced me to put the blog on the backburner for a while. August 13, 2009 at 11:19 PM. I cant believe Dynamite Records is closing.that seriously sucks. I try to patronize record stores whenever I can - hopefully the other record stores in the area wont go the way of Dynamite.

Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Tuesday, April 26, 2011. I just checked my blogroll for the first time all day and saw the bad news, posted by Brian at This Ain't the Summer of Love. Stop reading and go find a copy to listen to now. You won't regret it. Meanwhile, in memory, here's a rockin' video performance of the band playing their pivotal first single, "Oh Bondage Up Yours! An anthem for female rockers everywhere. Links to this post.

The Metal/Punk Continuum: On the Origin of Heavy Metal
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2011/07/on-origin-of-heavy-metal.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Sunday, July 31, 2011. On the Origin of Heavy Metal. A few days ago I got an email from Brian Hickam, a librarian/archivist who is a very active figure in the heavy metal studies wing of academia. Brian asked me for some clarification of a passage from my book, This Ain't the Summer of Love. And upon responding I thought that our exchange would make a good blog post. So, with Brian's permission. Brian wrote to me asking the following:. 05/18/16 TAT...

The Metal/Punk Continuum: January 2011
http://themetalpunkcontinuum.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Fragmented thoughts on rock, reading and other delights. Wednesday, January 26, 2011. Metal, Punk, and an Ambulance that Burns. A few months after my newer book came out - This Ain't the Summer of Love. For the uninitiated - in summer 2009, I got an email from a writer named Phil Freeman asking if he could interview me about the book for the Cleveland Scene. And more recent tome, Enter Naomi. The latter of which I reviewed myself. On this very blog - Daniel Ekeroth's Swedish Death Metal. Magazine. Fr...
