Greetings kids! I know I’ve been a tad silent in the past couple of days, and I’ve got a good explanation for that. Assuming that I start getting mail again someday (long story,) I decided to go ahead and finish up Andy Taylor’s Duran Duran book, so that I can start to power through some […]

Adventures with people that shouldn’t be allowed to comment in press releases
I chuckled when I got an article in my email with the following quote: “Z104 is leading in the country when it comes to video and digital content,” said Program Director Tias Schuster, explaining why Z104 was chosen first. “We get so many hits in this market, and with so much content on our site, […]
A look back at the week that was
Hey kids, This is one of those recap kinda posts. Some music related stuff, some personal stuff, and all of the other stuff that you typically find in a recap kinda post. When we last left my personal life, I was rocking out at the Gin Blossoms…..and a lot has happened since then, so let’s […]

Good Listening: Hall and Oates – Acoustic Power (1991)
Hall and Oates – Starting All Over Again (live on Aussie TV in 1991) Hall and Oates acoustic. I know you like the sound of that. So here’s the deal – Daryl Hall and John Oates went back to their roots in 1991 with the release of their album Change of Season, and had the […]
And tomorrow will make a day since we’ve met
I wrapped up the week freshly reunited with an old friend. Gregor over at captain’s dead caught my eye with MP3s of one of my favorite KFOG-FM/ San Francisco broadcasts, a 1996 session with Paul Westerberg recorded at Fantasy Studios. This particular broadcast is a nice little one hour Westerberg career rundown that held a […]
Everything old is new again
It was 1993, and I was head over heels in love with Sarah McLachlan and her album Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. Did I mention I was in love with Sarah? In 2008, Sarah might be finally paying attention to the important “don’t cut your hair EVER” rule for girls, having gone from looking like Lilith Fair […]
