    Website content on Boston and B-52's

    Greetings all...Brett here, I'm the guy that writes a lot of the content (DLC previews, blog entries) that go up on the Life page. Just wanted to alert you to a couple of new features that were posted this week:

    There's a neat little feature on the first Boston album, with lots of trivia about how the album came to be. I've had a chance to talk with these guys over the years, and did an interview with singer Brad Delp (about a year before he passed away) where he spilled a lot of detail about the band's early days and the writing of those songs. Want to know where the chord progression in "More Than a Feeling" really came from?

    Also, we got to talk with B-52's lead singer Fred Schneider, who told us some fun things about the band's early days on the Athens party circuit....and about how he sucks at Rock Band.

    We're hoping to keep a lot of fun content coming at you in the months to come. And anyone who wants to swap obsessive music trivia is always welcome!

    Great stuff Brett. I hope the business side of your house never pressures you guys to the point that they drive staff away and kill the golden goose because you guys are awesome.

    Thanks a lot, Muso! I've always enjoyed reading your commentary.

    Plus, it's great to hear that more B-52s DLC is (almost certainly) on the way. Now, if we only knew which songs...
