Sparks Have Gone MAD!!
Introduction Although this should be in BEAT, there is a six-hundred-word minimum in that community, and although I am down as a Top Creator there, I haven't had a Top Story there for years, so I don't feel I am doing anything wrong by putting this in CRITIQUE.

Frippology
Introduction My first encounter with the music of Bob Fripp was on the song "21st Century Schizoid Man" by King Crimson on the sampler album "Nice Enough To Eat", but it was from their album "In The Court Of The Crimson King", a blueprint and initiation of Progressive Rock.

Billy Bootleggers Surf Matinee
Introduction Afternoon gigs are a great idea. They enable you to hear great live bands without the worry of having to leave for the last bus. Although I had to leave this one early, I had a great time talking with the headliners, who are from Toronto, Canada, and Mark's sister is a dental assistant in London.

Kevin Olusola Can Do Everything.
The first time I watched Kevin Olusola, he was beatboxing with the group Pentatonix. I thought it was really cool. He had this calm presence in the group, holding everything together with rhythm and precision while still somehow managing to stand out. I didn’t know much about him beyond that at the time, but he clearly had a lot going on musically.

🧠 Renmakesmusic: The Anti-Algorithmic Truth Bomb We Didn't Know We Needed.
It started the way most things do between me and my brothers: with a link. We don’t really do deep convos. There’s no “hey, how’s your week going?” or long check-ins. That’s not our love language. Ours is pure digital chaos. We speak in Instagram Reels and wild TikToks. The more ridiculous, the better. Dogs chasing their own tails, people falling off hoverboards, weird animations with odd audio. That’s how we stay close—it’s not what we say, it’s what we send.

Song Review: "Favour" (Cover by Godswill Oyor).
From the moment the first note of Favour (cover by Godswill Oyor) washes over you, you know you are not just hearing music—you are encountering a sound from another realm. This is not merely a song; it’s an impartation, a mantle, a spiritual river that runs deep into the prophetic undercurrents of Heaven. While the original version by Lawrence Oyor stands as a powerful song of favour, anointing, and divine timing, the cover by his twin brother, Godswill, ascends into even greater spiritual territory—adding layers of intensity, conviction, and holy fire. One might dare say that Favour has found a second wind, a new breath, through the voice of another vessel who carries the same DNA, both biologically and spiritually.

Does Twelve Inches Satisfy You?
Introduction In the 1970s, the vinyl record industry faced a shortage due to the oil crisis of 1973, which led to increased costs for the raw materials used to produce vinyl records. This resulted in thinner, less durable records being produced and, in some cases, delays or cutbacks in new releases. The shortage also impacted the quality of records, with some labels opting for cheaper pressing materials to reduce costs.

Song Review: No Turning Back II – A Dance Between Devotion and Discomfort.
When I first heard No Turning Back II by Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor, I was instantly intrigued. Part of that attraction came from the nostalgic core of the track—an old Sunday School classic that many of us grew up singing: “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back.” It’s a song that lives in the bones of many Nigerian Christians, a musical thread linking childhood faith with adult conviction. The version presented here, layered with afrobeat energy and spiritual fervor, is undeniably catchy and energizing.
