Vault of Fame's the name of the game

It's been a while for the vaunted Vault of Fame. Sorry about that, chief.

Spent several hours today poring over reference books and my own CD/vinyl collection for a new batch of songs and albums to induct.

The selection, as usual, is eclectic (from Bread to Primal Scream) ... but also pretty mainstream. It's all easy on the ears. Enjoy.

New (and old) discoveries

One of the few pleasures left in music (c'mon, admit it, things just aren't the same anymore) is discovering new/old music for the first time. Here are some great things new to my ears:

OK, we're back ...

Three months since my last posting? Sheesh. That's what happens when you have a full-time job AND maintain a Web site.

Here's the kind of stuff that has kept me busy lately:

Hometown rules for We the Kings

For Trapt, newfound freedom

Less Than Jake: Based on solid rock

Eric Hutchinson: His dues are paid in full

So, what's up with the blog?

Why so few posts since December/January? Easily answered. Since then, I've been working very hard at my "real" job, as entertainment editor for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune in Florida. "Real," as in it pays the bills.

Here's some of my music-related handiwork lately ...

Dennis Lambert: Hitmaker finds a fan base in Philippines

Davy Jones enjoys his fame

The Jimmies' sound pops for children

Vibes good again for Mike Love

Juice Newton: Still the queen in fans' hearts

The Moody Blues - Livin' on the Edge

New singer revives Blind Melon

It's ... it's ... it's the Vault!

Pause & Play opens up the Vault of Fame again to add new best-song and best-album entries.

This is a pretty impressive batch of songs and albums, if you ask me - ranging from Bee Gees to Rage Against the Machine, from Little Richard to Mary J. Blige.

Check 'em out here!

Return of the P&P blog ... this time for sure!

Finally, more Vault entries!

So sorry for the lack of activity on this so-called blog. A full-time job away from P&P is taking more and more time away from what I truly enjoy doing ... like adding more songs and albums to our Vault of Fame.

This time, there are eight songs and eight albums to induct ... to make up for a few missed months of new entries.

Hope you enjoy this bunch - from Shania Twain and Naked Eyes to The Cars and Tom Petty.
