My post from yesterday got the imagination rolling, and the desire to pen to paper. In the same vein of THE SEASONS OF KISS post, I might soon start sprinkling in…
THE ITSALLFORYOUDEMON BAR GUIDE
(Nightcaps for the Kings of the Night Time World)
Avoiding obvious choices like, “Cold Gin”, and being more of a beer boy myself, this should be interesting, challenging, and fun. Most of all fun…

Uploaded a new video to my YouTube Channel…Conjuring the good vibes of Spring by celebrating all that is fun with one of the greatest ‘Spring’ releases of the non-makeup years, ASYLUM.
Happy a good week everyone. Spring will be here before we know it…
For another round of NEVER BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT AN ALBUM THE SAME WAY AGAIN…
A few weeks ago, my friend Gery commented that upon seeing the LOVE GUN album for the first time at K-Mart in 1977, the album motif struck him as having a strong Southwestern influence. Peter’s bandolier, Ace’s semi-bandoliered-space suit, the lounging exotic women, the steps, the pillars, the color scheme…it all adds up. Now, I cannot stop NOT-seeing it that way. The LOVE GUN album is my favorite album cover of all time. Adding one more way to view it, only makes it that much better.
Combining it’s beauty with some Southwestern cuisine and a cold Trooper, only adds to the fun…

My freshman year of high school, there was a video store in town that sold SUPER SAVER CD’s for $9.99. They came in super cheap packaging, clear plastic long boxes, with the compact disc at the bottom, and the CD artwork / booklet on top. My friends and I thought we hit the jackpot, when we noticed that someone at the store had mis-marked the KISS ALIVE’s for $9.99, when most double CD’s were $19.99. Both sets of ALIVE! were purchased before the store became any wiser. I remember falling in love with ALIVE! almost immediately, particularity “She” and “Watching You”. Around the same time I had a $99 JcPenny Harmony electric guitar, that I couldn’t play a lick of, but spent many nights wearing it around my neck, make believing I was in a rock and roll band to the strains of KISS ALIVE! Pretty cool to imagine, what I was doing in 1990, had been done by kids 15 years prior upon it’s release. Dreaming big dreams to the sounds of the greatest ‘live’ rock record ever.

Over the weekend, my friend Mike mentioned that he loved the DRESSED TO KILL album cover for the cover’s “Gangster” tie-in. I have NEVER in all my life looked at this album cover through that lens. I have always seen the album from the Clark Kent / Superman photo shoot the band did for Cream Magazine. But, his view makes sense, especially tied in with the album title. And now, I will never look at it the same again…and that is awesome. Trading insights with fans and learning something new everyday. It’s fun to be a KISS Fan.
(Although per yesterday’s trademark, the end is nigh?)

Uploaded a new episode of DEVEREAUX’S LABORATORY. Changing things a bit from the first episode, dropping the Podcast and going for a straight up Vlog. In this episode, Dan, Todd, Mike and myself wax the first three records and try to decide what constitutes CLASSIC KISS.
Enjoy…
Why is it, K-TEL Records are a little more fun when KISS appears on them?
Very K-MART, 1979.
GLORY.

A comment was made on my Valentines Vlog, “The Season of KISS 3 - The Best Love Songs of KISS”, that “A Million To One” was one of the strongest KISS Ballads in the bands catalog. Having never looked at it this way, I decided to give it a spin last night, and listening via new ears, must completely agree. Although, I still cast my vote for “Reason To Live”…“A Million To One” wins the ballad war hands down over “I Still Love You”.
Now, the ultimate post Valentine Day question…which do you love more…CREATURES OF THE NIGHT or LICK IT UP?
PS - Anyone reading this who may be coming off of a day of depressed, anxious, or lonely thoughts about yesterday’s holiday….STOP. It’s a stupid day. You are perfect the way you are. And you don’t need anyone in your life to prove that. Go be you. Go enjoy your records. (Preferably LICK IT UP….per my answer above).
Have a good day everyone.

I have been really digging the HOW THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORLD documentary on Netflix. Around the time I was 13, I dove headfirst into the Beatles. They were the first band I ever considered “collecting”. That stint of soaking in every ounce of music and every bit of information I could get my hands on, while eyeballing every antique store corner, certainly paved the way to my becoming a KISS fan.
Here are some similar looking album covers, each with the first piece of merchandise I ever added to my collection for both of the greatest bands in music history. (IMHO)
