Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesIn Rotation: The New Zeitgeist
Chicago duo Jen Reilly and Eddy Bluma are The New Zeitgeist. Soaring vocals mix with earthy Rock & Country arrangements to form poetic and driving ballads. Music from the band's new album Myths and Mortals is available by request and in rotation on CHIRP Radio.
Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesIn Rotation: Dream Version
Chicago band Dream Version's second album is out. It's jangly in parts. iI's progressive in other parts. it's also the kind of smart pop that brings to mind Devo or XTC. Tracks from Fight Fair are available In Rotation and by request on CHIRP Radio.
Clarence Ewing: The Million Year Trip writesThe Eternal Question: Beatles or Stones?
1960s England produced arguably the two biggest and most successful Rock and Roll bands in history.
One of them, although they were only together for ten years, created a catalog (28 studio albums) whose influence is still being felt in all corners of music. The other one, after 55 years of performing and 30 studio albums, became Rock’s ultimate survivors while drawing a map of how Blues-based guitar Rock combined with decades of genre experimentation can lead to immortality.
Is it Sgt. Peppers or Exile on Main St.? Let It Bleed or Revolver? The White Album or Some Girls? It’s a simple question, yet one that resonates through the ages - Beatles or Stones? Vote here, and Explain Yourself in the comments.
