Elm Treason Latest…

Two FREE CD promotions happening now. If you’re willing to cover postage, we’ve got the goods for you.  If you know anyone who’d like some FREE ELM TREASON music… or you haven’t indulged in these two titles yet, check them out:

Why do we do a FREE CD promotion? What’s the point? 

Is it a scam?

Is there a trick?

We posted this on Facebook earlier this week. This literally explains how and why in the FULLEST DISCLOSURE available –> Check it out

Classic Albums… BAD Reviews

Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin (1969)

“[Jimmy Page is] a very limited producer and a writer of weak, unimaginative songs… …if [Led Zep are] to help fill the void created by the demise of Cream, they will have to find a producer (and editor) and some material worthy of their collective attention.” 
-John Mendelsohn, Rolling Stone.
 

The Beatles, Abbey Road (1969)

“An unmitigated disaster.” 
-Nik Cohn, The New York Times.
 

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Déjà vu (1970)

“The heralded leather cover turns out to be nothing more than crimpled cardboard. What a milestone – fake leatherette!” 
-Langdon Winner, Rolling Stone.
 

Simon And Garfunkel, Bridge Over Troubled Water (1970)

“…nearly all of [the] songs [are] hopelessly mediocre.” 
-Gregg Mitchell, Rolling Stone.
 

AC DC, High Voltage (1976)

“Those concerned with the future of hard rock may take solace in knowing that with the release of the first U.S. album by these Austalian gross-out champions, the genre has unquestionably hit its all-time low. ” 
-Billy Altman, Rolling Stone.

Your Input: Open Thread! Your call!

This week, anything goes…it’s all yours. Whatever you want!

A word. A sentence. A question. A greeting. A missive. A rant. Whatever.

Got something to say about the rock and roll hall of fame nominees? Joe Rogan vs Neil Young? Need to talk about a favorite guitar solo? Your favorite album? Your teenage rock n roll crush? How much you love Elm Treason (*cough* how did THAT get in there?)?

Want to ask us a personal question? Share a family milestone? Say hello? Anything at all?

Please. PLEASE! PLEASE! Have at it.

It’s not what happens but how we choose to think/feel/act that matters.
I’m learning this (and, apparently have been for some time now LoLoL).
Just thought it may be timely or helpful. 😊

I don’t think our life flashes before us when we die. As more of my musical heroes pass on, When they die my life with their music passes before my eyes.

All the trucker in Ottawa were talking about maybe doing a concert to get more people out to see how peaceful it is and to get more good media attention.
I told them to get yoka Ono if the want it to end quickly

Phil

Am furious. The guy who plays the tambourine, triangle, shakers, Tom Tom drums, marakers, has left the band. There will be re-percussions

What can i say,how much we love ET, how long is a piece of string, all quiet here in OZ, our borders are closed, we cant go anywhere, but we are safe, the virus is only just entering our state now.

Congrats Andy and daughter on the birth announcement! We are expecting our first Grandchild (a boy) due March 3rd and we are over the moon! I told my daughter that when I hold him for the very first time I’m going to cry like a baby. She replied, “Great! A big crying baby holding a small crying baby!” It will be a nice Kodak moment. Get your camera ready!

Mark Caro

You can wear pants if you want to.
You can leave your pants behind.
But if you dance without any pants,
Then you’re no friend of mine.
(Or best friend of mine depending on who you are.)

The “Medley” thing was the most dreadful Beatles thing ever. I love The Beatles. They are allowed to string a few dreadful songs together.
