Just saw one of my favorite bands, Harem Scarem, released a new single today - Reliving History. Solid, filled with good melodies, lyrics and the same melodic rock sounds I've come to love. Give it a listen!

Bonfire is somewhere between Rock / Hard Rock & Melodic Rock, in genre. Marking the band's 18th studio album (DANG), the last one being released in 2020, shows the band still has an abundance of energy, and have no issues cranking out another album of high octane hits. If you like your music fast, driving and full of fist pumping, then you've come to the right place. Despite having a few troubles back in 2015 when Claus Lessmand left the band, five albums later proves they've been able to work through those troubles, and have been doing a great job ever since. Admittedly, I've only listened to half the album so far, but everything thus far feels like gold - riffs and lyrics are solid, leaving you feeling energized and ready to go. Frontiers Records have perfectly encapsulated the 70s-80s feeling bands, and given them all the room they need to flourish, as you can clearly tell when you try out just about any band in their catalogue. Bonfire is no exception - give them a shot, and you'll be banging your head along with hit after hit.

Purchased a new camera, and made myself a checklist to make sure I don't have dumb technical issues that should be avoided (dual mics, poor lighting, good audio levels, etc.). Last review using my old format will be up ideally by February 4th. Gonna start watching some new shows, and trying a few other types of videos, so once I've got a good feel on how those go, might move up the posting schedule on those shorter videos, so there's plenty of content for a variety of interests. Still gonna do my best to keep everything as family friendly as possible, to keep my audience as broad as possible. If there's stuff you don't enjoy, feedback is always appreciated - likes, subscribing to the YouTube and/or Facebook pages, and anything else, is appreciated. Toodles, J-Bob 1/10/2025 0 Comments Time for a bit of reflection...Haven't really looked too much at my stats on YouTube that much, but decided to do that today.
Thrilled to have 169 subscribers currently - Thank you all! - but the amount of time my videos get watched is pretty low - usually a few seconds to a couple minutes, at most. After re-watching a few, I can understand why, so to those of you who've stuck around this long - I appreciate the loyalty greatly! That being said, I've gotta do something to keep this content interesting and engaging. From some of the feedback I've received on the videos in the comment section, I'm too long winded, too quiet, or do a full movie recap instead of an actual review - which I've tried integrating a bit into the last two movie reviews I've worked on last month. However, still having my videos around 15-20 mins long, somethings got to change. I have a few ideas, so I'll be putting those into practice, and will likely re-do a few of my older videos again in the near future. Again, thanks to everyone who's stuck around this long - I'll do my best to make it worth your time to keep sticking around in the future. Toodles! J-Bob Is driving blindfolded legal? Frank from "Scent of a Woman" would be very disappointed in you, should you try. Also, you're an idiot.

Merry Hallow-mas! (Apologies for the reverb - had two mics running, so that's why that happened.) |
