Read shared stories from Paul and other writers and editors who worked on the original Crawdaddy! (plus our own Denise Sullivan who writes quite eloquently on the Crawdaddy! spirit). As we take time this issue to pay homage to the original, as our own one-year anniversary wouldn’t even be remotely possible without it, we hope you enjoy them as they recount their insightful tales.

The concept album, contemptuously rejected by many critics as the great bore of rock, has returned, and this work of producer Alan Parsons, supported by a cast of hundreds, will doubtlessly meet the same condemnation. But Parsons pleads: "Don't judge this book by its cover."

It’s that time again… Noise Pop time! The best thing about this festival is that when you really begin to dig through the schedule you realize that there are talented, up-and-coming bands to be experienced each and every night. That’s what this festival is all about: the unknown… even if there are a slew of excellent mid-level bands to see.
