Originally released in 1980, this 2006 remastered and expanded release of All Shook Up with bonus tracks including the 4 song ep Found All the Parts previously unavailable on CD is astounding. High Priest of Rhythmic Noise was and is still one of my favorite Cheap Trick tunes and sounds amazingly aw...

It's almost over, finally. After an almost ludicrous amount of time and money spent on this year's American election, it's almost over. What has it been, almost 2 years and billions of dollars spent on this campaign? Mercy me I don't know what the 24 hour news networks are going to do when this elec...

Being that it's the end of October it just wouldn't be right if I didn't post this classic. Mrs. homercat has never seen Rocky Horror in all it's glory at a midnight screening in a theater, so this Halloween we're thinking we're gonna do it. She's a Rocky Horror virgin. In the past homercat has won ...

The last few remaining days of October are upon us. Homercat is entering the homestretch of his month long salute to Halloweenish type tuneage. I wish I had more time in my schedule to have posted an entry every day but this cat's time is limited and I hope no one leaves Rockin' feeling dissatisfied...

The Evil Dead is a 1981 horror film written and directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell. The film was extremely controversial for its graphic violence and gore, being initially turned down by almost all U.S. distributors, until a European company picked it up.

This may not be the creepfest some might be expecting from the homercat, but this is a lost classic from the 70's that I thought should be resurrected here. Nothing creepy here in the music, yet as in the original phantom, this is a sad tale. After all these years and before I thought to bring it he...

A couple of posts ago I was almost lynched because I didn't feature the "zombie" version of Partytime by 45 Grave. I had planned to in this post about this awesome movie. I just wanted to put this one up closer to Halloween. So by popular demand, songs from the soundtrack to The Return of the Living...

Uh oh here comes another Alice Cooper post. Let's face it though, Halloween wouldn't be complete without the ton of creepy songs Alice has recorded over the years. Yes I'm biased because I'm a huge fan of the Coop, but if you missed today's showcased album when it first came around, you should do yo...

This old fart has hosted and attended one or two parties over the years and the best ones have always been the Halloween party. No other type or holiday can come close to an excellent Hallows eve shindig. Being that Halloween is on a Friday this year it will be a good opportunity to host/attend some...

When you get right down to it, zombies are the hip, cool and best of the horror genre. The living dead which all started with that madman Romero. Night of the Living Dead which will be a classic until the end of time. Yep there's yer classic slow moving living dead folk which healthy adults can't se...
