80s Throwback: Katrina & the Waves - Walking on Sunshine
Whenever I hear “Walking on Sunshine” by the Katrina & the Waves, it makes me smile and brings back some good memories. For some reason, I also think of the scene in “Look Who’s Talking” when John Travolta is playing with the baby.

Web Site Outages
If you’ve tried to visit the Reverb or even UTF for that matter, you probably encountered some “file not found” pages in addition to a sluggish (slow) site and other issues. I apologize for that. My host was having some major issues, and my site, along with hundreds (if not thousands) of other customers got knocked off line. The issue seems to be resolved for the most part; however, my host is still having issues. I can’t guarantee that Reverb or UTF won’t go back out again. Paying for true 99% uptime is a bit more expensive.
UTF Version 5
Prior to the outages, I was able to make a large amount of progress on UTF version 5. The site is 98% complete. I would have been closer to finishing and launching sooner, but I’m nearly three days behind schedule thanks to intermittent site outages. I still have some backend work to complete, but UTF v5 will launch really soon. Timmy has seen the new site and thinks it’s great. Everyone else will soon see that it’s a vast improvement over the current version of the site. Stay tuned to Reverb to find out when the new site (and very much improved) launches.

“Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol always gets me pumped whenever this song rotates on my Zune’s playlist. I remember first hearing this song when I was a little kid in the mall chase scene in the 80s classic , “The Legend of Billie Jean.”
This video has a lot of energy that you don’t see in music videos today. Plus it has Steve Stevens, one of the guitar greats from an era that sadly no longer exists with today’s music.
No commentsClassic Hair Bands: Def Leppard - Women
The Def Leppard song “Women” is a gem that is often overlooked, but it’s a classic rock song that’s one of the band’s best efforts in my opinion. The guitar riffs, drums, and vocals are amazing. This is a great effort from the band. Check it out.

Effective immediately, the Official UTF Newsletter will no longer be delivered to subscribers via email. Between this blog and the new version of UTF (which really is coming soon), I no longer see the need to maintain the newsletter. You can subscribe to the latest UTF news here on Reverb by subscribing to the RSS feed. The new version of UTF will also have RSS, so you will get the news and updates instantly in your favorite RSS reader.
