No, mass chaos did not ensue, there is no zombie apocalypse, and I saw no signs of Hell freezing over…despite the header I added to this blog.
First of all, we need to figure out what this DOESN’T mean for the WiiU. It doesn’t mean that the...

The semi-annual Boston Calling Music Festival held at Government Center this past weekend was a celebration of not only music, but the human spirit.

Seymour Duncan and Aristides Announce the 010 Red Rising Sun Giveaway
The 010 isn't just your standard copy of a traditional design, one of the primary ways this guitar sets itself apart is the material that makes up the body. Called Arium, this Aristides-designed material increases the resonance and sustain of the instrument. Unlike traditional instruments made from a block of wood, the 010 has an inner coat, outer coat,...
CD Review – Tsunami of Sound: Wet Sounds
Drenched in the reverb of guitarist Dave Esposito, the classic "Mr Moto" gets the whammy bar and lots of love and care opening up this dynamic and authentic perspective on instrumental surf rock.

CD Review – Blake Morgan: Diamonds in the Dark
You can hear the songs mentioned in the Blake Morgan: Diamonds in the Dark CD review below on AMG.
"Water Water Everywhere" opens with a drifting acoustic guitar, perhaps an other-worldly take on Yoko Ono's classic "We're All Water.," a hint that Blake Morgan's Diamonds in the Dark album is rich with songwriter introspection, as with 70s artists Seals &...
Review: The MOOG MF Drive – Cool Vintage Character and Voice
The MOOG MF Drive is a pedal with its own vibe and personality. It is definitely plug and play but if you take the time and bond with this pedal the variations of tone are limitless.
