    Russ

    This week’s Flashback Friday features the incomparable How Airplanes Fly!! Some recent posts on Tumblr had me over at Abril’s old YouTube channel listening to the few videos that are there.

  • Question Tuesday

    Russ

    There have been plenty of wrock songs that have covered or mentioned nearly every character, and situation, in the Potter books. Sometimes certain plot elements were used numerous times by bands as inspiration – Chapter 34, or the Final Battle, for instance.

  • Flashback Friday – Afraid for the future of Pop?

    Russ

  • Question Tuesday

    Russ

    I have to thank my kids for this week’s Question Tuesday inspiration!

Naturally, this led to my idea to ask all of you: What’s your favorite wizard rock song…
