Happy Anniversary Social Media Discoveries!

Today marks the first anniversary of the Social Media Discoveries show, and to celebrate this event we're going to do something a little different in the form of the first ever Social Media Video Discoveries show.

Album Listen-Along: Comedy Rocks

My latest album listen-along features a collection originally released on streaming services in February entitled Comedy Rocks.

Tutti Frutti

A nu metal version of Tutti Frutti, created with the aid of the Suno AI music generator. Originally released in 1995 by Little Richard, and written by Little Richard and Dorothy LaBostrie, this version was created when I sampled the version recorded by "Mean" Gene Okerlund for the WWF release The Wrestling Album in 1985. I had originally intended to release this on my album The Wrestling Album Reimagined, but copyright restrictions meant that I couldn't include it when it was released to the streaming services, which is why I've released it here.

Social Media Discoveries 56: Snow Ghosts, John Zay, The Iron Maidens, Mark Lettieri & More!

We're up to episode 56 of our Social Media Discoveries series, and this week we've got some video game music, some heavy metal maidens, a Grammy-nominated guitarist, some rather aggressive Swiss chaps, and the continuing story of Major Tom, as well as a special announcement about our special first anniversary show.

Land of a Thousand Dances

A nu metal version of Land of a Thousand Dances, created with the aid of the Suno AI music generator. The original version was originally written and recorded by Chris Kenner in October 1962. This version came about by accident. I was originally creating a version of the song based on the recording made by the WWF superstars on The Wrestling Album, which was originally released in 1985. I basically took that version and added the original lyrics, coming up with this version.

Album Listen-Along: Making Bad Songs Better

We've got another AI-generated album listen-along for you, and this time around we're Making Bad Songs Better, turning awful songs from the likes of Toasters & Moose, Sonseed, Little Jimmy Osmond, Dana, the St. Winifred Schools Choir, Brotherhood of Man and Black Lace into hard rocking heavy metal classics.

The Thursday Rock Show: St. Patrick's Day Special

It's time for another edition of The Thursday Rock Show, and in the week where people around the world claimed Irish ancestry we're going to give you our St. Patrick's Day special. 

Album Listen-Along: The Soul of a Rainbow II

The next album listen-along sees us returning to the world of Ritchie Blackmore once again, putting a soulful tint to some classic hard rock songs with The Soul of a Rainbow II.

Album Listen-along: Chloe in the Morning Light

Another album listen-along for you, and this time around we've got the five track collection entitled "Chloe in the Morning Light".

Game Night: Sniper Agent/Sniper Siege on Android

I haven't done any of these for nearly a year, so I thought I'd share a game I've been playing on my tablet recently, Sniper Agent. There's countless other games like this doing the rounds on the Google Play Store at the moment, but this is the one I'm really getting into. Here's a few brief highlights for you, but be warned, the images are a little graphic. In other words, don't eat your supper while you watch this.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 7: Unseen Hands

The rejection of their petition had pushed the Romulan delegation to a new level of covert activity. While their official Warbird had departed, the disguised scout ship maintained its silent vigil beyond Babylon 5's immediate sensor range. From its hidden perch, Subcommander T'Vix oversaw a sophisticated network of probes and long-range scanners, meticulously documenting every anomalous energy signature, every unexplainable delay in station systems, every whisper of discontent among the resident aliens.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 6: Seeds of Discord

The rejection of the Romulan petition sent a distinct chill through the Council Chamber, more palpable than the standard air conditioning. Commander Tomalok's departure was abrupt, his customary controlled demeanor cracking just enough to reveal a flicker of bitter disappointment and frustration. The other ambassadors, despite their varied reasons for the denial, shared a collective exhale of tension, believing they had deftly navigated a potential Romulan snare.

Social Media Discoveries 55: Is That Metallica?

It's time for episode 55 of Social Media Discoveries, and we've got something a little different for you this week. All of the songs here are cover versions in the style of heavy metal legends Metallica. Most of them, on paper, shouldn't work, but they do, in a strange and very compelling way.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 5: The Distant Echo

The Council Chamber, still humming with the lingering tension from the previous day's debates, had assembled for the formal vote on the Romulan Star Empire's petition for full ambassadorial status. Commander Tomalok, representing the Romulan delegation, stood before the dais, his usual guarded demeanor replaced by a striking, almost desperate sincerity.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 4: Whispers in the Corridors

The days leading up to the formal Council vote on Romulan ambassadorial status were a tense ballet of diplomacy and suspicion. Sinclair found himself sleeping even less than usual, his mind racing through the myriad implications of the Romulan presence and the unsettling undercurrents of the station.

The Thursday Rock Show: War, What Is It Good For?

It's time for The Thursday Rock Show once again, and this episode is a little different, so if you don't like a show that has a few political comments, or one that is openly critical of Donald Trump and his war in the Middle East then this show isn't for you.

Social Media Discoveries 54: David Cassell, Dead Jackals, Chris Yerinidges & the Rough Edges, Manu Meyer and More!

We're up to episode 54 of our Social Media Discoveries series as we give you a slightly harder-edged show, with some nu-blues, some modern day grunge, and quite a bit of the hard and heavy stuff.

The Thursday Rock Show: 90s Rock Anthems

We've reached the month of March. How the hell did we get to March so quickly? Anyway, it's time for The Thursday Rock Show once again, and this week's we've got some nineties vibes here for you with some classic rock, grunge, metal, Britpop and punk.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 3: The Weight of Ancient Grudges

The Council Chamber, usually a place of strained diplomacy, was buzzing with a barely concealed hostility. Ambassador Londo Mollari of the Centauri Republic, his elaborate purple robes shimmering under the chamber lights, was engaged in a particularly theatrical tirade, his voice booming across the room.

Civil War Multiverse: The Romulan Incident (Version Two): Chapter 2: Echoes and Arrivals

The arrival of the Romulan Warbird had sent ripples throughout Babylon 5, palpable even in the bustling Zocalo. Security patrols, comprised entirely of Starfleet officers, were subtly augmented, their gazes lingering on any Romulan staff moving through the corridors. Chief Garibaldi’s eyes were everywhere, a constant presence that was both reassuring and a little unnerving.
