Quick Hits – One Hit Wonders, Pirate Radio, and Mix Tapes

Greetings from Memorial Day Weekend in Cleveland, where I saw Filter for the second time in a week, last night at the House of Blues. Friday night, found me at the resurrected Euclid Tavern for young up and comers The Suede Brothers, who are currently making lots of noise here on the Clevo scene.

Here are some of the things that are rocking my world right now.

Joshua Jesty points me towards this fascinating look at one hit wonders and pop longevity (or the lack of.)

I found a new favorite sandwich, and it’s right in my backyard. I think I need to move!

Wired Magazine has the step-by-step on how you too, can start your own pirate radio station.

Bob Lefsetz checks in with his opinion on Death Cab’s “I Will Possess Your Heart,” which I also loved.

Next time I’m feeling romantically mopey (which happens a lot,) I’ll be glad that I didn’t go out on this date.

The three principal members of Genesis sit down for a lengthy chat with Rolling Stone. Check it out for the official word on the state of Genesis, and what are the possibilities of that reunion with Peter Gabriel?

TJ @ Viva La Mainstream says that the new 3 Doors Down CD is their best since The Better Life. I agree.

Highlights this week here at Addicted to Vinyl:

I took a look at my favorite tracks that sit at track #1 on the track listing with a rundown of the top 5 album openers (in my opinion.)

Weezer put out a new video, and it’s great.

I discovered a whole new way to skin a….er, make a mix tape.
