Listening to :

Shortino - Booked,Toured....Released!

Logan/Robertson - Revisited

I've ordered directly from Kivel twice, and each time experienced problems.

The first time I ordered, I never got my CDs, so I contacted them. THANK GOD I had purchased their $1 "insurance" ,or I probably never would have gotten anything. The story was that they had shipped my CDs, but the Postal Service must have lost them, so they would replace them. I eventually(after MANY emails) got my stuff.

Being the brave(or stupid) soul that I am, I ordered from them again when TNA - Branded came out. This time, my order was put on hold, because the TNA disc was taking longer to produce than had been anticipated.I was informed that my credit card would not be billed until my order shipped. BULLSHIT. I went to my online credit card statement, and had already been billed the day following placing my order. After several more emails to their "customer service" inquiring about my order, I finally got my order. I was fine with the entire order being held until all discs were ready to ship, but don't lie to me about how I'm gonna be charged. Piss poor business practice. I will not purchase directly from Kivel again.

Also, they might actually sell a few more CDs if their crappy website was kept up-to-date....jeesh.

On a good note, I've always had excellent service from:

Metal Mayhem Music (although Ryan needs to keep his website updated too!) : Metal Mayhem

NEH Records : NEH Records

Impulse Music : Impulse Music

*These guys will not ship an incomplete order, BUT your credit card IS NOT charged until the day the order ships!

DON'T TELL ME What LOVE Can Do - Van Halen

Don't LIE TO ME - Dokken

Listening to Wishing Well - S/T featuring Greg Leon right now.

Very interesting indy release from Greg,who I believe was very briefly in Dokken in the EARLY 80s. There are a variety of styles presented on this disc(several songs have a southern rock feel to them), but for the most part, it's straight ahead,hard-driving rock ,just how I like it!

For me, Concrete Jungle,Rock Candy, and Sage are all pretty close, BUT the songs from Luv n' Lust just seem to stay with me better than the others.

I know that this is just a sampling of some of the GREAT indy/small label releases to be found, but I think these will give us a good start!

CRAZY MARY Goes Round - Dokken

CAPTAIN of a Ship in a Bottle - American Scream
