Happy New Year. Congratulations on making it to the other side, on surviving what my Dad calls \u201camateur night.\u201d Like (I hope) most of you, I am taking today off. Relatively speaking, we Americans don’t get much in the way of (paid) vacation days, and those among us who are self-employed (like myself) effectively get none.<\/p>\n

These last five and a half years of the Musoscribe blogzine have been a lot of fun; I expect the next five and half (and beyond) to be the same, if not better. I have a lot in store. In the short term, here’s just some of what readers can expect to find here:<\/p>\n

Reviews of New Music by<\/strong>…
\nSid Griffin, John Wetton with District 97, Victor Krummenacher, Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas, Gong, Lloyd Cole, and many artists whose names you might not recognize.<\/p>\n

Reviews of Compilations and Reissues from…<\/strong>
\nLarry Coryell and Eleventh House, Jethro Tull, Old 97’s, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Miles Davis, Stories, Game Theory, and many more.<\/p>\n

Reviews of Books<\/strong> About…<\/strong>
\nLed Zeppelin, the British Invasion (aka Beat Era), The Clash, much more.<\/p>\n

DVDs Featuring…<\/strong>
\nGenesis, Jack Bruce, Frank Zappa, Yes, Queen, Johnny Thunders, DEVO, and many others.<\/p>\n

Interviews With…<\/strong>
\nPugwash’s Thomas Walsh, The Moody Blues’ Ray Thomas, Trip Shakespeare, Jamie Hoover, Dwight Twilley, and quite a few others yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

As This is Spinal Tap<\/em>‘s Marty DiBergi might say, \u201cBut hey: enough of my yakkin’. Let’s boogie!\u201d<\/p>\n
