You may use these photos on your various websites, but please give due credit to the photographer, Paul Parks, and provide a link to his website

Before getting into my analysis, we have to take care of some business.

First, as I just mentioned, the photographer needs some love. I know some of you have been asking about using the photos for your sites and whatnot. I have spoken with Paul and he said he doesn’t mind, so long as you include a credit to him. If I were you I would also provide a link to his site since he is doing us the great favor of letting us use his work. The name of his company is Paul Parks Photography and this the link to his page http://paulparksphotography.com/v-web/gallery/

Secondly, there is a band change for the May 16 show. Due to changes in their lineup, Radio Junket has withdrawn from the competition and will be replaced by Van Roth.”

Last, we will announce the wildcard winner for Heat 1, tomorrow, probably before noon. It will be announced by both text and blog, so stay tuned

And now, the winner of Ultimate Music Challenge, Week 4… The PettyBreakers!

Congratulations you funky hat wearing, good and groovy performers of one of the greatest American bands. Now go and have some creepy Alice in Wonderland cake to celebrate! Read more ›

Damage Inc.! Congratulations you flawless rocking hard rockers, you! Excellent performance

Yeah people, that was fun! And it was fantastic having Tony San Pietro sit in as a substitute judge. The Big Man did a bangup job last night, and it was fun working beside the man behind the man behind UMC. It was a little nerve racking though. Turns out the sonofagun knows a little bit about music. Also, props to MC Michelle. Great job breaking it down on the chickety-check microphone. And I like the new hairstyle – now get your arse in here and start talking smack! Read more ›
