Hey Lonely by Megan Johns

  It’s official! I am now a Megan Johns fan. Not only is it pretty awesome when a chick rocks out an acoustic guitar… but how much sweeter is it when you can classify her as an acoustic-doowop-goth-metal songstress? Something like Trent Reznor taking over the Smashing Pumpkins and replacing Corgan with Tori Amos… On […]

[editor’s note: Knowing Bill, I expected a couple pages for this review. I was stunned when I saw four short paragraphs, but then I read what he had to say and other than adding that I dig every song on the record, I couldn’t find a better way to say any of it.] Sitting down […]
