What we’re listening to right now.
I’m a little Grinchy when it comes to Christmas songs. I prefer originals to covers. And I prefer rock ‘n roll Christmas songs to the classics. Although I do love me some “Little Drummer Boy”. That song rocks. A few years back I wrote a post that listed what I thought to be the Top [...]

I was just thinking the other day about songs that would be considered signature songs of a respective decade. It’s hard to boil these type of things down to one song but here are mine (click on the highlighted song titles to view/listen to the songs/videos): 50′s – “Rock Around the Clock” – Bill Haley [...]

With the release of the remastered version of the Rolling Stones “Exile on Mainstreet”, the making of documentary, and all of the surrounding media attention around it, I thought it would be a good idea to throw in my two cents about “Exile on Main Street”. Now, let me preface this argument by saying I [...]

I know I’ll get a lot of grief from my fellow rock purists, and my business partner and co-author of our blog here will probably ban me from posting ever again, but I’ll admit it , I love synthesizers.

Last night I was watching a great program on the History channel called “The Beatles: On Record“. It’s a facinating introspective on The Beatles and their recording process, starting with their first single “Love Me Do” through their first album, “Please , Please Me” on to “Abbey Road” (their last recorded album, although ”Let It Be” was released [...]

Man, the pickings were slim for this one. Dad’s are just as good as mom’s. Why doesn’t anyone write songs about dad’s. And most of the song’s about dad don’t paint him in a very glowing light. But we, being dads, here at Arizona Premiere Music, like dads. So we did our best to scratch [...]

They’ve been a part of the American Rock n’Roll heritage for almost the entire history of Rock’n Roll. They’ve added a bit of spice to our heritage and a bit of salsa to our music. So in honor of the upcoming Cinco de Mayo holiday I thought would list my Top 5 Mexican American Rock [...]

The punk rockers in my high school (including my sister and some of her friends) used to crack me up. Punk rock was born out of rebellion. Anti-establishment. The punk that became famous, ie. The Sex Pistols, Clash, and The Ramones was born out of economic distress and lack of opportunity and a backlash against [...]

Sometimes here at Arizona Premiere Music we comprise lists, sometimes we write about favorite albums, or critique albums, or post helpful links to sites we think you might enjoy. But I believe this is the first post written entirely about one band. This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for a while now. [...]
