Rock and Roll Globe

Every few months, a rock and roll trend goes viral on Facebook, such as "Ten Records That Have Influenced You Most" or "An 80s Song a Day." If you have friends who are passionate about music and skilled writers, these trends can lead to some truly captivating and thought-provoking music discussions. The person who starts these conversations enjoys the thrill of likes and lively comments, but they often miss out on earning money or sharing their insights with anyone outside their friend circle. Rock and Roll Globe was created to give writers a space to express their personal musical thoughts and experiences to a wider audience. I am confident in the effectiveness of this idea. During my nearly five years as editor of the New York Observer, my talented team and I, all musicians ourselves, discovered remarkable writers and allowed them the freedom to express their views. We successfully built a community of fans, critics, musicians, and industry professionals who regularly visited the Observer's music section for fresh and intriguing perspectives on all kinds of music. That’s the vision behind Rock and Roll Globe. Thank you for your attention.

Rock and Roll Globe

Most art is about the passage of time. The rest is about the passages of time: The trails, rails, tunnels and skyways through, under and above the pastures of experience and the cities of memory, from the baby blanket to the burial shroud. Time — and our strange and ordinary, dramatic, and mundane transit through this life — is also the subject of Beauty’s Pride, the new, extraordinary, moving, vibrating, surprising, interstellar, emotional, light and heavy new studio album from Born Ruffians.

Wormburner Talk New Album

3 weeks ago | rockandrollglobe.com | Ron Hart

Based upon their name alone, its OK to see a band with a handle like Wormburner and assume it’s a raging, full-on death metal band on Relapse Records or Profound Lore. But in reality, this Brooklyn outfit crafts music akin to a jangly throwback to groups like Guadalcanal Diary and Let’s Active in their approach to songwriting.

As reported last week in our feature on Kevin Cronin, the one time REO Speedwagon frontman is no longer with the band after over 50 years in their ranks. “That’s some of the problems that have led to what I refer to as ‘irreconcilable differences’ between [REO Speedwagon bassist] Bruce Hall and myself — which, I never in a million years expected that to happen,” he told us.
