"There's a message to this music for you radio heads. This isn't the first time the Red Hot wild card has taken a left turn. But it's his most personal and profound yet. Bass to trumpet, in your honour, this is the best Flea market." @Flea333 #Honora... ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/03/review…

"Hillel would journal like a beat poet and even scrawl sublime sketches that will remind you of the art of John Lennon...all in his own style, mind you. He had such an inspired impact on others." REVIEW #TheRiseOfTheRedHotChiliPeppers #OurBrotherHillel... ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/03/docume…

"Let it ring out as the bell tolls. 'Arirang' is a traditional, Korean folk song, passed down through generations of longing, separation and resilience. Found in translation to the devotion of a "beloved one." In-Yun, 8,000 past lives."@BTS_twt #ARIRANG... ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/03/review…

"Disco ain't dead, at least not occasionally, on the brand-new album from @Harry_Styles, #KissAllTheTimeDiscoOccasionally, released this New Music Friday. One that you actually will listen to all the time for its pure pop, popping candy of compelling hits."ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/03/review…

"The confidence and empowerment are now at epic levels. And they can't come down. They won't come down. The comeback is complete. Forget about the man in the arena. These are the #NationalMuseumOfKorea women in your area. Born again." @BLACKPINK #DEADLINE ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"Earth to Mars. It's crazy to believe that it's been ten years since his last album, #24KMagic, and the Sin City anthem of the same name, but Bruno is back, ladies and gentlemen! Returning to his roots and extending the love."REVIEW @BrunoMars #TheRomantic ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"Resilient. This band just being a microphone for the people with the megaphones. We know where the real courage for freedom lies. Hate has no home here in heart. Lend your hand in art. Don't play your part in scars. Ashes to ashes."REVIEW @U2 #DaysOfAshEP ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"Despite the American apparel, this still feels fondly familiar to Mumford and all the sons. And despite the big budget guest features, it's still one of the band's most personal projects to date. This fighter will floor you." @MumfordAndSons #Prizefighter ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"It's been 11 years since the one and only @MissJillScott graced our speakers and headphones with her most personal and intimate music. Yet the words and sounds of the real thing are an integral part of music like another Gil Scott." #ToWhomThisMayConcern ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"2026 is already going to be a big one, just one week into the second month. Fayetteville's finest signs off with his last sports adjacent album. The Friday night lights are shut off, but the sideline story will still be told." J. Cole @JColeNC #TheFallOff ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/02/review…

"Right now, nobody mixes the Saturday night fight with Sunday sacrament quite like this Tim. We can't wait until he acts again in this opera. There's a hidden yearn that burns here. Like the prelude, this is just an overture." @Labrinth #CosmicOperaActI... ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/01/review…

"Kono being a kinetic stage presence, having audience members hold the mic as she sang into it and kept her energy effervescent, just like Yayoi's eyes and Asami's hands." LIVE REVIEW #TsuShiMaMiRe (@TSMMR_JP) @ @TOPBEATCLUB, #Tokyo🗼, #Japan 🇯🇵 (12/01/26) ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2026/01/live-r…

"If you've been crying for some new music from @Aerosmith, then the pleasure and pain has been one and the same. From @YUNGBLUD's trademark open shirt, to the scarfs hanging from @IAmSteven's microphone, the skull fits perfectly on the wings." #OneMoreTime ampsand808s.blogspot.com/2025/11/review…
