This Afternoon’s Broadcast is brought to you by…

AC/DC.

RIP, Bon Scott

33 years ago today we lost one of rock’s all-time greatest front-men. Thanks for the brief yet glorious catalog, Bon, and truly hope hell’s as bad a place as you envisioned. What can I say? Some people wanna watch their afterlife burn.

Let there be Threedonia’s AC/DC faves in the Comments section.

One of these things is as awesome as the rest of the album

Only two weeks into the new series and forgetful idjut-fool which I can be (lingering blonde roots) neglected to scan a much-needed article for this week’s entry. Should be good to go tomorrow, so until then my favorite track off the incredibly strong latest album offering from ZZ Top. As with their “three chords and [...]

Monday Night Mashup — Friday Edition

Now to convince the rest of Glorious Disaster to get in on this action, but at the expense of the one below the fold, which has already been semi-rehearsed??? Decisions, decisions …

Hall of Fame, Correct

Forget criticisms of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today. Flawed selection system or not, they’ve actually gotten it right more than a few times and for that I’m thankful. Here’s a few favorites and a Happy Thanksgiving to all Threedonians who visit this little neck of the woods, nape of the neck …

You Are Here, There and Everywhere

Somewhere in America (or around the world), there’s a street (avenue, row, parkway or even an alley) not named after my dad (tip o’ the cap to all four Was (Not Was) fans at this site). Several with music-minded connections, though.

Thank or Blame Toto

Says Christian Toto re. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, “All hail Casear, indeed!” OK, can’t argue with that …

You find it hard if your guitar’s in hock

While I will once again stress to each their own in regards to shows like American Idol, I will also once again add “God bless AC/DC!!!” Brian Johnson, thank you for articulating so well how I feel about the near-instant gratification aspect of the short way to the top.

“There’s only one way to do [...]

If it’s not Sco’ish, it’s crrrrrap!!! (updated)

Happy Tartan Day, Threedonians! All these years of being a Czech/Slovak/English/Welsh/Scots/Irish/German mutt and I inexplicably don’t find out about yet another legit excuse to wreck my liver a day to celebrate a wee bit of my heritage till this week. I really gotta start paying better attention to the Livingstons and Veatches in the family. [...]

Radio Free Threedonia — Jim Florentine, Anthony Bozza & Denise Love

If you like music, today’s your lucky today and RF3D’s for you. In addition to Rolling Stone (and beyond) vet Anthony Bozza and That Metal Show co-host (and beyond) Jim Florentine, HeavyMetalBay’s Denise Love joined the “music-licious” show. To bum a line from Autograph, turn it up for conversations on INXS, AC/DC, Motley Crue, [...]

Turn It Up Tuesday -- Stuck on stupid

When I sat down for this week’s segment, went into a somewhat wordy explanation of how how R.E.M. used to be a kick-ass rock band with one foot rooted in 70s-style Aerosmith and the other in Velvet Underground jangle-pop, who somehow and finally rediscovered their 80s muse in the 21st century. I know, me wordy. [...]

Turn It Up Tuesday -- Who's da Man?

When it comes to AC/DC, Lord knows I’m never bashful about how much I love the boys. Needless to say, I was incredibly jazzed when I heard Jon Favreau tabbed them exclusively for the Iron Man 2 soundtrack. Granted, as someone who owns everything the band’s ever released, with 2-3 AC/DC home-made “best-of” compilations lying [...]

Turn It Up Tuesday -- Masters of Ceremony

While the rock and roll live experience certainly means different things to different people, I see a concert, I want to be entertained. Sounds obvious, right? Well, yes and no. Some people want to hear the hits, exactly as they appear on the albums. Others prefer rarities and/or mixing up the phrasings (that’s me). Others [...]

Ain’t Noise Pollution

AC/DC has just announced AC/DC: Iron Man 2, the official album set to be released April 19th through Columbia Records in support of the upcoming Iron Man 2 film from Marvel Studios. The album will feature 15 classic AC/DC songs, selected from ten of the band’s studio albums, ranging from 1976 to 2008. Included [...]

For Those Who Truly Rock, We Salute You!!!

Let’s see, the charitable angle’s been covered by one of our other resident Catholics (though he brilliantly played guilt card much better in another post since then), another one went the “only in moderation” smutty direction we’re renowned for taking, so while out of traditional Catholic methods, now it’s my turn to rally the [...]

Deep Cuts

Milton “Gummo” Marx….

Most bands of any staying power have a string of well-known songs whether top 10 hits or concert staples…. What are your top 5 deep cuts? For the Beatles example… not “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” or “Eleanor Rigby”, but that unknown — relatively speaking (it is The Beatles after all) [...]

For Eric

It was 30 years ago today…

I’m more of a Powerage guy myself, but hard to deny the greatness of Highway to Hell. Three months to record, too. Not bad for “Mutt” Lange …

“We just want to make the walls cave in and the ceiling collapse. We all have always shared a common belief that music is meant to [...]
