Update 01/24/11

I realize the group's moving at a turtle's pace, but you know the story of the turtle and the hare right? Don't worry, soon enough this blog is going to kick even more ass than it already does.

Trip Loon is going to be posting his first article any time now. This guy has some serious insights on rock 'n' roll. If you don't know who he is, get acquainted.

I've been listening to Leaf Hound's first album "Growers of Mushrooms." I'm going to put up a review in the next week or two, so stick around. And if you wanna know what's going on with the blog, and the inevitable migration to a full-on website sometime this year, then follow me on Twitter. I'm always rambling on about what's happening.

If you've got any music we should be aware of, let me know on Twitter, or post the artist and album in a comment here.

Here's a bitchin' tune to keep you going until the next post.

Guts by Budgie


Rock 'n' roll you sick animals!

Upcoming Reviews

Dear rock 'n' fuckin' rollers,

It's been a great start. The review of Taste's first album got around 500 hits so far - not bad for a blog that's just kickin' through the door.

I've been jamming Cactus' One Way... Or Another everywhere. The review's coming together. I realize I'm moving at a turtle's pace, where I should've had at least three reviews up by now. But that's 'cause I'm working with the designers and coming up with ideas to get this blog looking good. I'm also organizing all my music to plan out for the next few weeks.

Here are some of the bands you might read about on The Dead Notes in the next few weeks:

• Cactus
• Mountain
• Leaf Hound
• Dust
• Captain Beyond
• Frijid Pink
• West, Bruce & Laing
• Road (Noel Redding's post-Hendrix band)
• Trapeze

I've been talking to a few of the boys, and we've been thinking about pushing The Dead Notes to include sub-culture commentary and criticisms of modern music. I know a lot of people would be interested, but I'm guessing not too many of you are patient enough to read through a 2,000 word article. (Which is why I'm also cutting down the length of the reviews). Anyway, you might see some posts by my buddy Trip Loon sometime in the near future.

Rock 'n' roll!
