I was jazzed to see the news about former Michael Stanley Band singer-songwriter Jonah Koslen who recently announced an April 18th date at The Winchester where he will recreate the classic MSB live album Stagepass with his creatively titled band Stage Pass Now.

Some Links To Know About – The Jigsaw, Propaghandi, The Alarm, + Bruce Springsteen
I’ve been ill over the past 24 hours after reading D.X. Ferris’s rundown of the downward spiral of Phil Lara and the Jigsaw Entertainment Group.

Good Listening: Icehouse – Live in Australia 1988
I was having an odd Saturday night at home hanging out on Twitter. Earlier that day I spent the afternoon cleaning house with my new roommate.
