  1. Very good guess friend. I thought it's B'z because based on Google search, B'z did contribute a song to this movie, but after lookin' up the song, it's different. T.M Revolution makes sense too, but sadly I don't have any CDs of them and also quite hard to look for samples. and I don't have any idea about the movie and other songs since I haven't watch the drama yet Yeah the opening them is a totally different song, but it would make sense if one or more of those guys contributed other background music. Np - Michael Stanley Band - 'North Coast'
  2. It might be B'z (Tak Matsumoto and Koshi Inaba), or maybe Tak M. with Takanori Nishikawa (aka T.M. Revolution) who was also one of the actors on the show (so that would make sense). B'z did the opening theme for that show 'Beautiful Life'. There's a soundtrack for the show, but it's all incidental/instrumental music. Very cool song though. I wonder if there are more songs like that in other episodes??? Np - Le Roux - 'Last Safe Place'
  3. I've been seriously collecting records since I was 8 years old (back in 1974). There's nothing like putting on a record, popping a cold one and going through the liner notes. The older stuff brings back so many good memories. I'm always on the hunt for vinyl for myself while I'm out searching for Wishing Well. This weekend I scored some really cool things for me: Queensryche - Original indie "206 Records" pressing of their first ep - The record's beat, but cool just to have this pressing. Waves - self-titled (1977/Polydor) - Terrific mix of Pomp and Firefall style 70's AOR. I wonder if this was ever on cd in Japan? Awesome harmonies and melodies. Spoons - Bridges Over Borders (Canadian issue with different cover art from the U.S. pressing) Moxy - Under The Lights (with Mike Reno on vocals) Strange Advance - 2wo (Canadian pressing) FM (Canada) - Black Noise (underrated Progressive Rock group) Paul Korda - Dancing In The Aisles (1978/Janus) - Westcoast vocalist kind of like Boz Scaggs, David Roberts and Stephen Bishop Lords Of The New Church - Methods To Our Madness Various - Metal Warriors - Ebony Records comp. from the 80's with indie UK bands. Includes a Shy track Lastly, a bunch of promo 12-inch singles from Steel Breeze, Le Roux, Lisa Dalbello, Chilliwack, Rodway, One2 Many, Martha & The Muffins and Gary O'Connor Overall a really good score for the weekend. It's cool to shop for cds, but for me there's nothing like hunting for vinyl. Np - Scandal - 'We Are The 80's'
  4. Sincere condolences to you and your friend's family Bernd. I went through a similar situation years ago, so I know there's a lot of things going though your head. I'm sure everyone on here wants you to know that you have our support and friendship.
  5. Hey everybody, There are now three mp3 audio samples from the new Reason cd 'The Darkest Star' up on the Wishing Well web site. If you dig bands like Balance Of Power, Ten, Saracen and Rainbow then definitely check these guys out. The track 'Rise' was mixed by Beau Hill. 'Rise' 'The All Seeing Eye' 'Forever' Np - Airplay - self-titled
  6. IMO Eonian is right up there with the best "reissue" or "archive" labels. The quality of their packaging is consistently great. I'm really looking forward to their 2012 releases. Np - Higher Power 'Cast A Light'
  7. Although I can't really argue against any of the artists that got in (except maybe Donovan...that's pushing it for sure) I'm so disappointed that Heart didn't get it. Their influence is way beyond the AOR or "Commercial" music realm. Joan Jett should be in there too. Pretty silly. Maybe they thought that Laura Nyro filled their quota of women (have there ever been two or more female acts inducted in the same year?). Actually The Cure not getting in is more of a surprise to me. Regardless of what everyone thinks of them they had a heavy influence on two decades of Alternative music (hey, even Gothic Metal owes a little bit to them). Really funny that I found out about the inductions on Yahoo, but nowhere in their story did they mention that The Small Faces got in. I guess the writer didn't realize about the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart connection. Damn young punks. Np - Mozart (the band!) - self-titled
  8. We have a soda brand out here in Arizona called Shasta (they're based in southern California) that's really good for an "indie" brand. Been drinking their stuff since the early 70's. They have a bunch of out of the ordinary flavors, and their cola is better than RC IMO. Np - Plunge - 'Hometown Hero'
  9. Hey everyone, When you get a chance check out the band Reason. They're from the UK, and play classy Hard Rock and Melodic Metal with a bit of AOR mixed in. They remind me of Ten, Balance Of Power, Saracen and even CITA/Guild Of Ages. Their cd 'The Darkest Star' will be released in December 21st. www.reason-music.com Np - Firewolfe - self-titled
  10. We got in our shipment today at Wishing Well. I wasn't a fan of 'Gimme Gimme' but I've got to say I really dig this. Yeah the sound is a little heavier, but it works. There's also a cover of the Axe song 'Rock 'N' Roll Part In The Streets' and 2 bonus tracks. The production is great. AOR Boulevard did a nice job on the packaging too. It's a digi-pack, but also has a full color fold-out booklet with lyrics and liner notes. Good stuff. Np - Angel City - 'Face To Face'
  11. Wishing Well will be selling the cd too. We've been taking pre-orders for about 3 weeks now. We should have the discs in stock and ready to ship by the end of the week. Np - Starship - 'Love Among The Cannibals'.
  12. Nice one Dave. Best of luck with them. Very good score. Np - Bachelors - 'Love In America'
  13. Not spectacular but decent songs. I dig 'Run' the most. Looking forward to hearing the whole album. Np - Barren Cross - 'State Of Control'
  14. I've never been to Amoeba but after seeing it on TV several times (once in the "Lemmy" documentary and also in one of Rachael Ray's "Travel" specials on the Food Network, of all places!) I have sworn that I will make a pilgrimage to this store at least once before I die. Even if I have to sell one of my kidneys to finance the trip. I never been there myself either Keef, but I did buy a c.d. from them online (The Binges). I still get e-mail from them too. Yeah everyone needs to check out Amoeba at least once. There are sale bins with literally thousands of cds for $4.99 and less, and thousands of records for $1.00. We always find some cool indie stuff in there (especially the Hollywood store). The last time there we even found some vintage 80's concert shirts for $1.00 each. One other really great store that's kind of out of the way is Boo Boo Records in San Luis Obispo, California. Definitely worth the stop. Np - Icon 'An Even More Perfect Union'
