The lazy bastards guide to reviews on Zeitgeist

The last twenty records in one sentence - originals are here - http://www.the-rocker.co.uk/

COWBOIS RHOS BOTWNNOG - Dyddiau Du, Dyddiau Gwyn - Cowboys from Hell, no Wales, no really, surprisingly good Welsh country
Singles Bar - Jimmy & The Sounds vs. The Lights vs. Alexandra Legouix & The Sunflowers - shit indie, less shit indie, better Sade soundalike
MusicOnAir - Final Call - pensionable Scandinavians evoke seventies summers sounds.  Sweet.
PHILIP SAYCE - Ruby Electric - he dun got the blues, but with more rock than before.  Good.
JOHNNY ENGSTROM BAND - Magnetic Force - epicus progrockosaurus.  Damn good
Service Station Sweep - Deep Purple vs. Phil Lynott vs. Hard'n'Heavy - ripoff, bargain comp, where did I put me spandex pants
ULTERIOR - Wild In Wildlife - Sisters Of Mercy revisited
NATASHA ENGLAND with Logan - Deeper Reality - eighties popstress goes modern doof-doof
THE SUPREMES - Let Yourself Go: The 70s Albums, Volume 2 1974-1977 The Final Sessions - awesomely awesome roundup of super soul and disco
SANDY DENNY - North Star Grassman and The Ravens - too long by half, but the basics are folk rock manna
WHITESNAKE - Live At Donington 1990 - screech, solo, screech, drum solo, fnaar, fnaar, not arf, oo-err missus, interspersed with a couple of good tunes
BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION - 2 - 21st century rock gods supergroup live up to hype
NEVILLE SKELLY - Poet & The Dreamer - two bad things make good seventies folk album
VICTOR WAINWRIGHT & THE WILDROOTS - Lit Up! - The blooze!  Rockin' stylee.  Great.
MR. BIG - Bitter Streets - the British Romeo ones, not the American girly ones.  With a new version of Romeo.  OK
DIE VORBOTEN - Aufschrei - Baby Rammstein
REECE-KRONLUND - Solid - Former Accept / Bangalore Choir singer gets his eighties bluesy rock on
THE BALLACHULISH HELLHOUNDS - Songs from The Great Atlantic Ocean - Hoots mon! Jigs and reels, bluegrass, laments and a dearth of heedurum hodurum
MOLLY HATCHET - Greatest Hits II - regurgitated Hatchet look back at the "not as good as the original" years.  But still rockin.
THE 44'S - Boogie Disease - They boogie!  They, um, disease.  They've got the rockin' blooze.  Great.


Seeing as how the summer is shite...

Why not stay in and listen to that ever wonderful Mr H, on that there internet radio.

The word* is that his sonsy Scotch tones make the world a more peaceful place, brings families closer together and, FACT ALERT, makes your manjuices more potent.**

The rest of June sees him performing his public duty to fertilise the world as follows;

Every Thursday at 8pm, Her Majestys Great British Time, there be Rockin' The Blues.

Then there be Rock Profiles, on Saturdays at 6pm, HMGBT, repeated, Sundays, 8pm, HMGBT.

Saturday June 18th is Queensryche
Sunday June 19th is Judas Priest
Saturday June 25th sees a repeat of The Priest
Sunday June 26th go metal thrashing mad with Megadeth.

On the last Sunday of each month, it be Rock Profiles, where Mr H gets to play whatever the hell he likes, at 5pm, HMGBT, which this month means it will be broadcast on Sunday 26th June.

Sprinkle your seed at Get Ready To Rock Radio!

* The Word is "liar".
** This is a lie.  See * for more details.
