2008-04-21 21:34:42 by Mike Mineo in Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog
When a new band crafts a handful of tracks that they consider to be of the utmost quality, they are often faced with one of the first major decisions that they will make as a band. They could either hold on to the allegedly successful tracks and simply throw them onto their debuting album, or they could release them in EP form immediately and...

BLACK SABBATH - Paranoid (1970)

The Article has images
2008-05-28 05:34:57 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
While the debut contained one song that I would call metal, the rest of that album was really an electic mix of blues, hard rock and jazz elements, but always via hell. Paranoid is a somewhat different beast and arguably just as influential, if perhaps even more so than the debut. If the debut contained the one song that defined heavy metal,...

2007-11-20 21:08:00 by Steve in The Lonely Note
Spiral Frog is a new music service that aims to give Internet users access to downloadable music for free. With nearly 800,000 songs available, the service would seem too good to be true. So, what's the catch As with anything poised to be free on the Internet these days, the service is subsidized massively by advertising. What does this mean?...

2007-10-05 02:58:00 by Beth in lonesome music

BBBD Best Undiscovered Tracks of 2007 (Part 1 of 5)

2007-12-26 09:21:30 by HASH0x8473a8c in BiBaBiDi
 
I feel as though I sold myself short with my statistical sum-up of the year . It was a little bit too straightforward and was only an indication of what I most frequently listened to over the course of the year rather than what I really liked in the end. There is a difference I now present to you the first installation of BBBD's Best...
