When I decided that this was going to be the year that I did something about my love of rock music and create a podcast, website, Instagram and Spotify account I didn’t expect that the first half of the year would be filled with so much great new music.
As we race past the halfway mark of the year, I thought it would be a great time to review the music released in the first half of the year. -
This episode is about songs with the word ‘night’ in the title and is not a rankings list but a collection of interesting tidbits about songs in this category.

Sometimes this can be due to a serious matter but at times throughout rock’s history this has occurred due to a unique and occasionally humorous reason.
In this edition we’re going to look at some of those reasons in the latter category and along the way we are going to debunk one story that I have been telling friends, family and fellow rock fans for around 30 years…welcome to concert consternation. -
If you could only listen to one musical artist for the rest of your life who would you choose?
