    WHAT I LEARNED FROM Z-ROCK 50

    White Pigs – Songs Of Sin (1989)

    Every Saturday afternoon, circa 1993/95, I religiously listened to Z-Rock 50, a rock chart where you could check out all the biggest new releases. I really liked the Z-Rock 50 closing theme …

    THE COLOUR OF SPRING

    Jeniferever – Spring Tides (2009)

    THE TOP 3 JAZZ PLAYERS FROM CARTOONS

    The long-standing flirtation between jazz and animation goes way back. Rather than compiling yet another list of jazz musicians who did cartoons, we decided to flip the perspective: here are three animated characters who paid their dues to jazz …

    ALICE IN NIGHTMARELAND

    Alice Cooper – Rome, October 12 2011

    ABOUT ME

    When I started this website back in 2013, my record collection was unsorted, and all these years later, I still haven’t gotten around to it. That somehow reflects the nature of these pages, which cover, in a somewhat random fashion, music genres quite different from each other. That’s just what I like. And it’s not going to change, even on the day I finally put some order into that chaos.

    This space is just intended to share some nice stories about records or music with whoever may be interested. As an avid music fan, I was fond of reading stories about music and records on blogs written by fellow music lovers, hence the idea of sharing mine.
