"Although musically different, they are actually quite similar, with the message that we will overcome these anxious and burden-laden emotions that grip us now (and did in the ’90s, too). We can defeat this feeling of dread and come out on the other side as better people..."

"Brimming with abundant fist-pumping cowbell and heart-stopping arena rock keyboards, and fueled by the high-octane tag team lead vocals of Huston and John Schlitt, “Never Been Any Reason” remains one of the 1970s' most iconic FM rock staples. But wait, there’s more!"
Read Christopher Long's 80th Garage Sale Vinyl column at Ink 19, the glass bottom boat of the musical press since 1991.

This week, the UPS kid came-a-bangin’ on Christopher Long’s front door with a love package filled with FREE vintage vinyl. Among the bounty of bangers contained in that massive shipment was a seasoned copy of Flat As A Pancake, the 1975 classic from the Illinois-based brigade Head East.

"Jimmy Wang Yu is not about technical precision or flamboyant stunt work. Wang Yu’s fighting style and screen persona are all about being a super-cool badass..." -- Phil Bailey

Cult favorite Jimmy Wang Yu, with two arms this time, takes on a nefarious gambling racket in Golden Harvest’s 1973 kung fu film, The Tattooed Dragon.

"Despite all the chrome and leather, the film at its core is just a samurai tale in modern dress, the same way that the American biker film is an analog for the cowboys of the old West. What sets this film apart is the charisma of its leads and the anarchic style of its director..." -- Phil Bailey

Teruo Ishii’s influential biker gang film, Detonation! Violent Riders, absolutely crackles with energy.

"Not exactly bedroom pop, too restlessly creative to settle into back-porch Americana, Dog Eyes’ minimalist melding of sterling acoustic guitar picking, electronica, and purposeful, varied instrumentation... gracefully drifts from space to space in its rather spare home..." -- Peter Lindblad

"And now comes a two-disc set of 1993-1995 Green Apple Quick Step recordings, housing their two LPs... and 13 extra tracks that reintroduce their strong brew of rugged, classic-rock dynamism, psychedelic wonder, and early ‘90s alternative-rock edge to curious visitors and old, forgotten friends..."

"Departing from the layered harmonies that defined his work with sibling duo Hudson Taylor, this new solo effort trades polish for presence. It’s just Harry, a notebook, and the ambient drift of lo-fi hip-hop beats bleeding through a café speaker..." -- Danielle Holian
