These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. They are relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!

Billy Joel Not Retiring, Mulling Complete Album Concerts:
"I'm putting my toe back into the water to see how performing feels.

I don't know if I'll go an extended tour like Bruce Springsteen, hammering away for two years, though." -Joel

Junius To Release New EP This Year:
“We have new EP due out. It’s going to be part of Martrydom, kind of a side story from that album. It’s taking the actual catastrophe that Immanuel obsessed about and kind of just pretending that it did happen. Each song Is going to talk about impending doom and destruction. So essentially we are just going to do that. Its going to be a four song EP maybe five or six tracks. After that possibly another Europe run, then not sure. Hopefully start working on the new album and get that to start to take shape.” -Joe Martinez
