My Failed Blog Posts

Why a free monthly newsletter will soon replace all this and serve everyone's needs better.

After trying Facebook posts, Instagram posts, and this blog, I FINALLY REALIZED that a free monthly newsletter best fits what I'm trying to do. I have info to share, both old and new, and for reasons I go into later, this just wasn't cutting it.

My newsletter will come to you; you only read what interests you based on how muc time you have.

Not much to talk about this month, I'll make it short, and nobody has their time wasted. This will be coming down to be replace in June with something much more fun and flexible.

He has seen shows in 2008, 2009, 2013, and 2018. (He missed the warm-up show on Nov. 19th, as he wasn't even in the country yet, and it was announced at the last minute.) Here is the POP UP MERCH STORE for MBV. I didn't ask him to take a pic with my book, but it was certainly done with the best intentions, and not necessari

Shields and Company (MBV) are not done. Not by a long shot.

Look at those relaxed yet confident faces; they know what's in store for us. Here's what the clues tell me. If you've read my book, which will come out in America on December 16th, you may remember Shields saying at the Mojo Honors List Awards Ceremony in 2008 - in which Loveless was given the Classic Album Award - the band's first real recognition - that the band only got as far as Revolver with Loveless . Like so many others, he views his catalog through the lens of the
