I Love Rock and Roll: rocking out with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

Miranda Ljung-Baruth, Staff Writer October 22, 2021

We’ve all heard the iconic title track to Joan Jett's second solo record, I Love Rock and Roll. The memorable stomps and claps in the chorus immediately transport you to a dingy dive bar in the 80s. But I think it's high time people recognize all of...

Classic records we recommend: Fleetwood Mac – Tusk

Ayden Flanigan February 6, 2020

I was on a little Fleetwood Mac kick this week. I’ve always kind of written the genre-shifting band a pass, especially their famous mid-70s hits. They came off as milk toast music made for middle-aged moms and I never really gave them the time of...
