    AS THE CROW FLIES

    Crowhead – Frozen (2002)

    Some records, revisited in hindsight years after their release, may sound like unfinished business. Not half-baked, but in the sense of possibility: albums that seem to point toward something larger …

    TRANE OF THE CENTURY

    There are so many musicians, legendary and not, that I deeply admire and who are gone. I don’t remember the birthdate of most of them, if I ever knew it. For some reason, this doesn’t happen with John Coltrane …

    Nu Creative Methods – Superstitions (1984)

    FLY ME TO THE MOON

    The Moon – The Moon (1998)

    The press release boldly billed them as ‘The Who Meets The Beatles’. Behind the claim was The Moon, a band of Dutch rockers who’d traded leather and swagger for a more classic touch. Indeed, they were not rookies …

    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.
