’83 To The Bone:Billboard Top 100 Part 3
It’s been a while, but I’m back at it. This was an interesting crop of tracks, that’s for sure. 49.Michael Jackson(ft Paul McCartney)- The Girl Is Mine One of the duds from Thriller. It’s just so dog gone corny. It’s amusing to picture the type of girl who would be interested in the both of…

’83 To The Bone: Billboard Top 100 Pt 2
I’m back again to explore more of the year’s popular music. Another interesting bunch of tracks here. 79.Sammy Hagar-Your Love Is Driving Me Crazy I kinda like this one. It’s got a nice little riff driving(Heh.)it. A suprise,for sure, I’ve never been a big Hagar fan. 78.Debarge-All The Love This is a pretty swinging R&B…

Picking 1983 To The Bone: Billboard Top 100 Part One

New Fifty-Screwed Part 3
Back again. This time with 5 titles. I’ll be honest here, with some of these books being 16 issues long, this has been the hardest wave of books yet. With some of these books, I was just begging for them to be over. Still I press on. Blue Beetle by Tony Bedard, Ig Guara Jamie…

DC’s New Fifty-Screwed Part 2
Hey, I’m back! This second wave of books to be canceled was only four books deep. They are all 12 issue(plus an issue #0) runs, so maybe the extra issues helped this lot to develop into better books. Let’s get right to it! Captain Atom by J.T Krul and Freddie E. Williams Captain Nathaniel Adam…

Yo Jo Jo: A Jonathan Richman Primer
Yo Jo-Jo: A Jonathan Richman Primer Jonathan Richman,rock n’ roll’s biggest sweetheart. Perhaps one of the funniest and most sincere musicians to come out of the 70’s burgeoning punk scene. Throughout his career he’s never catered to the sound of the times and has always produced albums that are uniquely Jonathan(For better and for worse.).He…

DC’s NEW Fifty-Screwed Part 1
In 2011, following the events of Flashpoint, DC wiped their continuity (With some exceptions) and relaunched with the New 52. I’ve been long interested in this period of DC history. It seems like a period filled with risks and interesting creative decisions. Some of them paid off, but a lot of them failed. I’m here…

Reading Guide To Waid’s Flash
After the death of Barry Allen, The Flash was in a bit of a holding pattern. The Mike Baron/Butch Guice run established a rooted in reality take on the character that was just terribly depressing at times (Wally is such a self-centered prick in these issues and his mother is the worst.). Following that was…
