I was sent a link to this trailer today (hi Mark!), and I must say that “It Might Get Loud“, a documentary by Davis Guggenheim – yes, the “Inconvenient Truth” Davis Guggenheim – looks like it could be very, very cool. The premise? A documentary on the electric guitar, from the point of view [...]
Have you ever had one of those bands that you didn’t realise exactly how much you missed them, until they reformed, and then you realised how happy that made you? No? Well, I’ve just had one of those moments, when @Lenier made me aware that my old favourites, Skunk Anansie, were back.
So, I know it’s been a while. Here, to help you get through, I present an absolute bundle of joy with We Were Promised Jetpacks‘ video for cracking single “Quiet Little Voices”.
I couldn’t put it better than Captain Obvious did: “I haven’t had this much fun screaming along to songs in a long time“. If you [...]
You know, sometimes I’m not the best music blogger in the world. I let emails slip through the cracks. I let this blog take a back seat to my day time job, and to every day life. While that pretty much qualifies me for “a normal person with his priorities right”, it sometimes means my [...]

I’ve mentioned the Playing for Change movement before on this blog. They’ve just released their latest episode, “Change Is Gonna Come”. And really, words aren’t needed to describe the power of this production. Instead, I’ll just quote directly from their site, and embed the video below. Past that, we’ll let the music speak for itself. This [...]
So, recently I’ve been thinking about changing up the look of things here at Burgo’s Music Blog. I’m a bit hesitant to do so for a few reasons though: - One is, quite simply, the old adage of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. The blog has had this current theme for probably around a [...]
Juzzie Smith – The One Man Band that will blow you away Juzzie Smith is one of those happy coincidental discoveries. It just so happened that, while my mother was out in Australia visiting us on holiday, we took her up the Sunshine Coast for the weekend. While up there, we decided to take a trip [...]
Just so that everyone knows, the mp3s posted here are simply for sampling purposes; like giving you your first hit of something for free. If you like the tunes, then buy the CDs, go to concerts, support the music and the artist. As such, all mp3's will only be available for a limited time before being taken down. To all labels who may have a problem with this, I'm giving YOUR clients more exposure. Think about that. That being said, if you represent an artist that is featured on this blog, and would prefer that an mp3 is removed, then please email me at matthew.edward.burgess [at] gmail.com, and I'll be sure to remove the file immediately.
