Just Below the Attitude Level

Another collection of videos for you, from the collection entitled "Just Below the Attitude Level", named because all of the songs here were used by WWE wrestlers before the Attitude era really took hold. All of the songs have been remixed into a nu metal style using the Suno AI music generator.

Dead/Hand-Me-Down Heroes

Two singles releases for you from last December, one of them a couple of cover versions from a band you've probably never heard of, and one featuring two original songs.

"Dead" and "Nobody There" were original songs by Queen tribute band Ga Ga. I saw the band play on Cromer Pier many years ago, but they've seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet over the past few years, and there's very little trace of them online, apart from a couple of videos on a YouTube channel. Both tracks have been remixed into a nu metal style using the Suno music app.

The Wrestling Diaries: Special Features Available to Stream & Buy!

Have you been listening to The Wrestling Diaries?

Well, there were three tracks that my AI assistant and I produced that didn't fit in with the overall flow of the concept album. So I put these to one side, until now.

The Wrestling Diaries: Special Features is now available to stream on the various streaming platforms. You can also buy it in physical form.

Who knows, if this goes well I may use AI to turn other old blogs into song. Who wants to hear a ballad documenting the rivalry between Ricky Knight and Jimmy Ocean? Or a rocker telling the story of the first encounter between Big Dave and The Kraft? Or a sad song in which I bid a tearful goodbye to Detroit?

Music To Grow Up To VII

A new selection of videos for you, the seventh in the Music To Grow Up To series.

Hold One's Beer!

An interesting article about the World Cup caught my eye the other day. It was about the Dutch royal family, and how they attended two games while they were in America on June 20^th. They first went to the Netherlands’s 5-1 drubbing of Sweden in Houston, before they went over to Kansas City to watch Curacao take on Ecuador.

The Superhero Suites

Some more new videos for you. The Superhero Suites were originally released as individual EPs, with five or six tracks on each, featuring various themes from shows and films from the 1960s to the 1990s, but for the transfer to YouTube and TikTok I've changed things up a little, so instead of individual tracks I've now got four tracks ranging from twelve to fifteen minutes in length.

So What's Happened To All Your Music Then?

Some of you may have noticed a few changes around here in recent times, things vanishing, while a whole load of other things of a certain type suddenly appearing. Some of you may even find yourselves wanting to ask me “so what’s happened to all of your music then?” and “why has some of it gone?” If truth be known I’ve been having a bit of trouble with the distributor (turns to camera and waves while saying “hi D*******d, how you doing?”

Music To Grow Up To VI

Fancy listening to some old Hanna Barbera themes, remixed into hard rock and nu metal? There's probably some you've forgotten about from my collection Music To Grow Up To VI.

Music To Grow Up To V

Today's videos, a fifth collection of Songs To Grow Up To.....

The Thursday Rock Show: The Wrestling Diaries

It's time for The Thursday Rock Show once again, and we're doing things a little differently this week, because this week's show is all about shameless self promotion as we listen to my AI-generated concept album, The Wrestling Diaries.

More Slammin', More Jammin'

Some new videos for you, nu metal remixes from the heady days of World Championship Wrestling.

Comedy Themes Rock II

Some more new videos for you featuring comedy themes put through a hard rock grinder:

Social Media Discoveries 68: Bad Touch, Puddles Pity Party, Karla Hill, Anthony Vincent and More!

Episode 68 of Social Media Discoveries is here, and as well as featuring some fellow good old Norfolk boys, as well as a clown, it also asks a few questions, such as what do you get if you cross the Spice Girls with System of a Down? You'll have to listen to this one to find out.

Comedy Themes Rock

New videos for you, music from some of our beloved comedy shows turned into rock classics.

Frustrations

Would you like to know what’s really frustrating?

I’ve been dealing with health issues for three years now. From what was diagnosed as sciatica, through a cancer scare, through what was misdiagnosed as a chest infection, through pneumonia and a damaged diaphragm, through dealing with deep internal scare tissue reacting with nerve endings, though to an enlarged heart.

The most frustrating thing of all isn’t the constant pain, or the regular visits to medical facilities, or the copious amounts of medication I have to take morning, noon and night. No, the most frustrating thing is that I can’t do the things I used to do.

The Thursday Rock Show: World Cup Special

It's time for The Thursday Rock Show once again, and unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks you'll know that today sees the start of the greatest sporting event known to mankind, even better than that thing where the cheese rolls down the hill. Yep, it's the World Cup, and to celebrate the occasion we've got a whole show filled with football-related songs for you. Nothing from Paul Gascoigne though. Fortunately.

If You Like The Blog, Why Not Stream (Or Buy) The Music?

Unless you've been living in a cave in recent times you'll know that I've been making a bit of music as of late, with a little bit of help from the Mozart and Suno AI music generator apps. However, I've been a bit remiss in not promoting them here on my blog, which is why I've spent the past few days creating a new page listing all of my releases, which you can access either on the menu section on the left of your screen, or by clicking or tapping here!

The new page contains direct links to the release's Spotify page, mainly because that's the service I use, but if you use another service, such as Amazon or Apple, I've also included links to my artist page on those streaming services as well, which you'll find at the top of the screen. 

Some of the older releases, originally made on the Mozart app, will be deleted in the next few days, which is why they haven't been included on the list. I'm hoping to remix them on Suno sometime, whenever I get round to it that is.

Hopefully you'll find something to enjoy there. 

Social Media Discoveries 67: Sapattivuosi, Wrestling Heroes, Dan Vasc, City of the Weak and More!

We've reached episode 67 of the Social Media Discoveries series, and this week we've got a nice mixture of cover versions and original songs for you, featuring an all-female Deep Purple tribute band, a Finnish Black Sabbath tribute band, and a band inspired by one of Starfleet's greatest physicians.

Neon Gravel Horizon Epilogue

            Two years later, the world had mostly forgotten the scandal of the missing actress and the British kidnapper. New stars had risen, new scandals had broken, and the digital cycle had moved on to fresher meat.

            In a small bookstore in a quiet corner of London, a man sat at a wooden table, signing copies of a photography book. The book was titled 'The Loneliest Road', and it contained no photos of celebrities, no titles of fame. It was a collection of landscapes—salt flats, desert diners, and the way the light looks when it hits a 1969 Mustang at dawn.
