#songoftheday = ACE FREHLEY FEAT. PAUL STANLEY: “FIRE AND WATER”
This is the first Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley collaboration in years. In over a decade, I believe. In any case, they still sound great together. More importantly, Ace can still fucking shred. His long solo here is fantastic. It’s no wonder there’s lots of smoke — the legend is on fire!

#albumoftheday / REVIEW = SCHAMMASCH: TRIANGLE
There are albums that are difficult to wrap your head around and there are albums that are impossible to wrap your head around. I thought the album Triangle by Switzerland’s Schammasch was going to be the latter after reading the press release, which points out that it’s 100 minutes long, a triple album in three…

#songoftheday = PANIC! AT THE DISCO: “VICTORIOUS” (RAC MIX)
RAC has been one of my favorite remixers for ages now. His versions of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do” are easily as good as the originals. His version of Foster The People’s “Houdini” is better than the original. I could go on and on. Well, now we…

#songoftheday = Abstract – “Neverland” Featuring Ruth B
You never know where you’ll find a good song. I went to Youtube to check out a video by a rapper a record label sent me the link for. Well, to be perfectly honest, it was rubbish. But then this one came on and immediately grabbed me. First, I was just impressed by Ruth B’s…

#songoftheday = SLUMBERJACK: OPEN FIRE (FEAT. DANIEL JOHNS)
Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year’s Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack’s latest, “Open Fire,” and it’s a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be in the R&B/neo-soul vein, albeit with some dubstep…

KILLER AUDIO: GARBAGE: “EMPTY”
Amazing, amazing, amazing. Yes, Garbage’s new single, “Empty,” is so amazing that it deserves it being said three times. Well, OK, I’ve just used it four times. Do I need to say it again? Seriously though, Garbage’s pop sensibilities remain in tact as do their massive guitar hooks and Shirley Manson’s ever intoxicating voice. The…

interview by Michael “Ant Man” McCarthy Any self-respecting fan of ’80s metal will surely recall Ted Poley as the charismatic lead singer of Danger Danger, the band with the similarly titled big singles “Naughty Naughty” and “Bang Bang.” Perhaps I should remind you that he had the best blonde hair of the era?

I felt the ending was terrible.
