Throwback Thursday: “Counting Blue Cars” by Dishwalla

May 12, 2022 — Leave a comment

This is another thing I’d love to do weekly, but I know who I am as a human being and I know I’ll forget. Lol.

So, each of my managers has a preferred type of music (s)he puts on when at work, and the main boss man is a 90’s alternative kind of guy. Almost every day he’s there Dishwalla’s “Counting Blue Cars” plays, and I have rediscovered my appreciation for it. Ergo, I had to share it for my first Throwback Thursday post.

Alter Bridge Announce New Album Title + Release Date

May 5, 2022 — Leave a comment

Despite what guitarist Mark Tremonti said in a not-so-long-ago interview, Alter Bridge’s much anticipated seventh album – entitled Pawns & Kings – will not be out in September. The official release date is October 14th.

I’m willing to wait, because I love them and I’m sure the record will be amazing, but… Can we at least get a single soon? Haha. Throw us a bone, guys!!! 😆 I guess we’ll just have to be satisfied with Mark Tremonti’s album of Sinatra covers (out May 27th, in case you didn’t know).

Here’s a new promo photo, though.
