The Thursday Rock Show: A Quiet Night In

 

It's time for The Thursday Rock Show again, and this week we're featuring the 1981 Bronze Records compilation "A Quiet Night In". Sadly a couple of the songs weren't on Spotify, but there's still fourteen great songs here for you to enjoy.

The Frustrations of Going Live on TikTok

 

I've got over 3,500 followers on TikTok. It would be great if some of them could help me out and push my lives a bit more. 

Or maybe people could stay around more than a few seconds and watch more of my shows.

Julian's Social Media Discoveries Episode 13: Gandalf's Fist, Electric Enemy, Jo-Jo & The Teeth, Dominic Gebhardt and more!

 

We've reached episode 13 of Julian's Social Media Discoveries series. Unlucky for some, eh? We've got our usual mix of music featuring artists from all over the world that I've discovered on the various social media platforms over the past few years.

The Thursday Rock Show: 20 Rock Legends

 

The Thursday Rock Show is back, and this week we're taking a look at another compilation album that I owned back in the day, originally released by Ronco Records in 1979 and purchased from a second-hand establishment in the early 1990's, this is "20 Rock Legends".

Julian's Social Media Discoveries Episode 12: Hayseed Dixie, 2Cellos, Ksenia Lewis, Violet Blend and more!

We've reached episode 12 of Julian's Social Media Discoveries show. Doesn't seem like I've been doing this for three months! I thought I'd lose interest to be honest.

Anyway, if you missed this live on TikTok then you can catch-up now with this mixture of blue grass covers, cello duets, metalcore, punk and a bit of rock 'n' soul.

Oh, and one of these songs contains naughty words, so you should probably put granny to bed before you start watching. 

What If.....Hulk Hogan Joined Metallica?

I’ve been having a play-around with Meta’s AI system. It’s been fun making pictures and wot not, coming up with unique images, but after a while I decided to try my hand at storytelling, suggesting a few scenarios that probably won’t see the light of day on this blog. 

Then I began to think of a way to test the system as it were, by using the stories of that great spinner of tales, former WWE and WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan. He’s certainly told a few tales about his life and career over the past few years, so I decided to use my new AI to create this tale from an alternate universe. I’ll borrow a title from Marvel Comics as I present to you: What if…..Hulk Hogan joined Metallica?

The Thursday Rock Show: Heavy Metal

 

Did you miss The Thursday Night Rock Show on TikTok? Why not catch-up here now with another album that I owned back in the day, the 1974 compilation "Heavy Metal", although in truth only a handful of the bands on this album can be considered heavy metal.

Social Media Discoveries jumps into the way back when machine for this week's episode as we take a look at some of the older tracks that fall into the scope of this series.

It Was Twenty-Five Years Ago This Month.....

So.....

Twenty-five years ago this month (sometime in June 2000, I can't remember exactly when), the first ever Two Sheds Review wrestling column was published in an e-mail newsletter called The Wrasslin' Analysis. The last wrestling-related piece was posted in January 1st, 2017. Various things led to the end of the articles, mainly a general loss of interest in the wrestling world.

There were various reasons why I stopped writing about wrestling, including a loss of interest, finding other forms of entertainment, and work commitments among them. Not even the Covid lockdown and a huge amount of time on my hands could tempt me back.
