    John Dissed is guitarist with the punk band Bull Lee whom I've reviewed here before. His solo EP is entirely acoustic and reflects a more sensitive side than you'd find with his regular band. "Future's Bright" is downright optimistic and sweet. "Sundown Sometime" is more strident and offers some neat guitar playing. Dissed has a battle-scarred but distinctive voice that comes across well here. "Next to you" ends the EP on a high note, Dissed singing of missing his love. It's a very nice little EP and an interesting change of pace for Dissed. Let's hope he explores it further sometime. Copyright © 2008 Anna Maria Stjärnell (www.lunakafe.com)

    This new Boston bombing "evidence" is so ridiculous. Shot while confessing? Is anyone falling for this? http://t.co/M1SFVq82YZ

    Mick Taylor on "Sway", "Can You Hear Me Knocking" and a few others. Awesome. Ron Wood did things on the guitar that don't sound possible
