Music reviews
As far as I am concerned, one of the worst bands that became inexplicably popular is The Judds. I’ve never been able to tolerate their music — the performances are terrible, the session musicians always sound like they want to die, and…
[Purchase CD] This is the first of what will, hopefully, be a series of reviews of excellent records lost to the mists of time. Some were later found again, like this particular record, the self-titled debut by Polyrock. Polyrock was a post-punk/new…
