Back in the days of Radiomafia, the list of top 500 songs was the source of quite intense discussion. The presence of Den Glider In in the top ten is easily explained by the first and only finnish world championship victory in ice hockey. Wish You Were Here at #7 cannot be rationalized […]

Back on Halloween ‘05, I lamented the lack of a collected edition of Derek Riggs artwork.
The pleas have been answered, and Run For Cover is available.
At $50 (+ an additional thirty for shipping), the book is not exactly on the cheap side, but would be a nifty addition to the coffeetable-section […]

This time focus firmly on new blogs. Just two of them, in fact - haven’t been that busy picking up any lately.
Sleevage, analyzing classic album covers for hidden and not so hidden treasures.
Magazineer, a blog about, erm… reading magazines, kicks off […]
