HOT KARL ACTION

HOT KARL ACTION – KICK ARSE ROCK MUSIC FROM THIS CENTURY

 HAS THERE BEEN ANY KICK ARSE ROCK MUSIC SINCE 2010?

Following on from my HOT BABOON ACTION CD compilation, and still armed with my trusty CD burner, I made my last compilation CD back in 2009.

It was called “HOT KARL ACTION” (2004 - 2008)

Several times since I’ve had a crack at doing another one, but I’ve never found enough awesome tracks to do a full CD’s worth, so I haven’t ended up doing any more compilation CD's.

The last time I was inspired to have a serious crack at it was 2016, and my 2016 compilation was going to be called “HOT FART ACTION” (AKA. Am I just a boring old fart?) and only contain tracks from 2016. But I didn't manage to find a CD’s worth of tracks even ranging from 2008 to 2016, so "HOT KARL" ended up being my last compilation CD.

Here it is, my final compilation from the tail end of the great era of rock music (1967 to 2007). HOT KARL ACTION 2004-2008:
