I do not have a Facebook (or any social media) account, so forums remain important to me. Having said that I have not posted here for quite a while, but I continue to lurk. I am a less regular visitor these days because, living in the UK, the cost of mailing stuff to be from the US is now...

But not this one....(Springsteen, of course!!) Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded on this forth of July Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast so shiny so sharp As the...

Senior Citizen's discount tab??!! I could do with one of those, too!! Very impressed with the new site, although unlike others, I have not yet ordered anything.... I think all the hours of hard work has paid off. Yes, you'll have some ongoing issues to sort out, but for such a gargantuan...

Congratulations, Masterworks. Being retired is good (I finished work on 31 December 2010) but I am now busier than ever with voluntary activities and things I really enjoy doing (including being reviews editor at print mag Fireworks and our linked web presence: www.Rocktopia.net ) I was...

My review for Fireworks Magazine: This debut album by this progressive metal band (half of whom used to ply their trade in Sieges Even) was reviewed here by my colleague Dean Pedley in issue 39. His summary suggested it was “sophisticated and accessible” and demonstrated...

Now this is a really fabulous British band. I've not heard the new one yet, but the debut was excellent! Paul

I've got it, and..... ...it's a REALLY interesting listen. I hope you guys like it! Paul
