Thoughts On Original:
From the first time we talked about a cover version of this song:
Well the classics just keep coming in this series, now here is "Simple Twist of Fate" what a gem of a song.  Impeccable lyrics, gorgeous phrasing, just a great great song that is hard not to enjoy even if people are not fans of Dylan.

Album Review: Bullseye - Bullseye EP

Bullseye

S/T

***and1/2 out of *****

Expanding from a lo-fi/bedroom pop project from Jake Barczak into a full fledge band, Bullseye's self-titled EP is a winning mix of fuzzy indie rock that flirts with a host of genres but manages to make its own way.

Happy Anniversary to Angels & Vagabonds Anyways... EP

RtBE not only writes about music, but I also create some. Angels & Vagabonds (mostly) acoustic EP titled Anyways... celebrated an anniversary recently.

It is exciting to go from critic/reviewer of music, to creator of tunes. Special thanks goes out to friends and bandmates who helped with this one. While it has been quite a few years since a release from the group, more music is actually on the way...
