Kiss rips off Poison on their Sonic Boom album
I was giving the new Kiss album, Sonic Boom a good listen to this weekend while freezing my ass off and I got to the third track, “Never Enough” and thought, “Hmm, this sounds very familiar” and then before I knew it I was singing along to Poison’s “Nothing But A Good Time”. Not just [...]

Old Interview with Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, RE File Sharing
I just ran across this Wired interview from a little post in a blog. I hadn’t read it before but Mr. Jeff Tweedy from Wilco makes some pretty good arguments for not suing music fans who are downloading music. Strangely enough, he states “Music is not a loaf of bread”.
Wired: What if the efforts to [...]

Vinyl – Yay, or Nay?
Dave Barry once said, “The four building blocks of the universe are fire, water, gravel and vinyl.” However, Joshua Homme also said, “Vinyl has gotten to the point where it’s exclusively for the collector, I guess.” Now, I know that loads of bands, including independant artists, release their stuff on vinyl, but what does the general MusicEmissions community think of vinyls?
INDIE CLASSIC #24 – Write Off; Sinist3r_Punk vs hstisgod
Let’s foil the suspense…Every now and then the staff misses an album and two reviewers (user or staff) must battle it out. Word for word…A write off settles who gets published as the editorial review… the loser posts their review lower on the page as a user review. It’s been a while since we’ve [...]
