Chicago’s own 2019 Blues Music Award winners Nick Moss and Dennis Gruenling are at it again. On Lucky Guy!, Gruenling’s harp, along with the Midwestern intensity of Moss’ blues guitar, is pure ecstasy. Produced by Kid Andersen and Moss, the album embraces traditional Chicago blues and severe West Coast jump. The shuffle “312 Blood” launches the album with killer harp and guitar solos without a smidgeon of blues-rock.


A real bang-for-your-buck recording, it also features killer rhythm guitar courtesy of Kid Andersen on the title track and “Me And My Friends.” He solos like a boss on the swinging “Movin’ On My Way.” Guitarist “Monster” Mike Welch is featured on the captivating Mike Ledbetter tribute “The Comet.” Moss’ hollow body stings like a bee on the minor-key march of “Sanctified, Holy And Hateful,” while the rhythm section swings with the fire of a bygone era.

The love song “Ugly Woman” was initially recorded by Johnny O’Neal, but the band adds its own sauce with the accented upbeats. In all, Moss is an expressive guitar strangler of the highest order and Lucky Guy! percolates from start to finish. – OJ

I once managed to take down the leaderboard’s #1 player in Slither io by trapping them while pretending to be harmless. The chat went wild afterward, and I sat there grinning, feeling like an underdog legend.

Geometry Dash has an amazing soundtrack that elevates every level. The music isn’t just catchy — it’s integral to the gameplay. Each beat aligns perfectly with the obstacles, so playing becomes a rhythmic dance between precision and timing.

Die Review hat mich direkt zurück in die Zeit versetzt, als Musik noch richtig „gearbeitet“ hat – handgemacht, ehrlich, emotional. Diese Leidenschaft erinnert mich an mein eigenes Bedürfnis, nicht nur gut zu klingen, sondern mich auch gut zu fühlen. Gerade beim Älterwerden frage ich mich öfter: Wieviel Kollagen pro Tag brauche ich eigentlich, um Energie und Ausstrahlung zu behalten? Auf der Seite vom Kollagen Institut habe ich dazu endlich hilfreiche Infos und alltagstaugliche Empfehlungen gefunden. Musik und Gesundheit haben für mich eine Gemeinsamkeit – beides berührt und stärkt von innen heraus, wenn man den richtigen Rhythmus findet.
