I just want to point out some excellent new music. It's ass-kicking, 70s rock revial Bad Wizard. Check out there album "Free and Easy". It's 28 minutes of meth-induced, Foghat-inspired, AC/DC-rad rock. It's pretty cool. Here's a snippit from a review I found:

As dynamite monster boogie shows go, you’d have to be in some biker metal Valhalla, or at least the wilds of Sweden, to find a more audacious slice of riff rawk pie than Bad Wizard’s 2001 debut, "Free and Easy", an album packed wall to wall with sex-drenched outlaw anthems juiced up to city block torching volume with nary a buzz-killing dip into pussyville in sight. It’s like some long forgotten mid 70’s 8 track that explodes when you press play, a wild mutation that’s equal parts Motorhead, Cactus, and whatever the Symbonese Liberation Army’s house band sounded like. The Wizard are flag wavers of an elite freak force of far flung Super Rockers- bands like Boston’s own Cracktorch, Detroit’s Lanternjack, Hamburg Fucking Germany’s Nixon Now-that are sloughing off the ‘stoner’ tag affixed to every greasy heavy rock band these days, and cracking open the pre- Sabbath vaults of volume for an even purer extract of rockage. Not stoned, these cats, but drunk- on gas fumes, on napalm, on power and Pabst Blue Ribbon, but most importantly, on lethal doses of holy fucking rock and roll. There is some master plan in all this, I’m sure, and I mean to discover it. But first, I think we need to address the band’s Hobbit-baiting moniker...
