Month: June 2009
Goodnight, BC
While waiting to meet a friend for lunch at Melt on Saturday afternoon, I was enjoying looking at the many pieces of Cleveland memorabilia on the walls – old concert posters, and sports memorabilia that I hadn’t noticed during previous visits. One item that caught my eye in particular was a WMMS “Buzzard Next Generation” […]
The Boss in Black and White
I just realized thanks to Pete at Blogness, that last weekend’s Bruce show at Bonnaroo woulda been a helluva lot more awesome if I would have been watching the entire show in black and white! Awesome picture above courtesy of I Was Bombed Bruce makes looking cool so easy. I wish I could look half […]
Slacking…
Just this past week I considered something I never, ever thought I would: eliminating the iPod from my life. Well, maybe not entirely, as I do use it a lot for games and watching videos. I’m talking more as my primary music player. I’ve come to realize in my life that I just don’t have […]
Incubus and others are collecting the hits via new retrospective packages
If your band spent the 90s and 00s kicking out the rock jams, now might be a good time to put out one of those career spanning retrospective thingamabob kinda things. As we sit on the tailgate looking at the end of the 00s, Incubus have done just that with the release of their new […]

Cage Match: Jon vs. John
I look at this week’s battle as a battle between two songs with two of the most awesome song openings of all time. The subject matter of Jon Bon Jovi (and his rock band conveniently named Bon Jovi) and John Cougar, John Cougar Mellencamp, and John Mellencamp (take your pick depending on the year) was […]

Bonnaroo Day Four: A View From The Hotel Room
Coheed and Cambria were on stage at Bonnaroo on Sunday evening running through a mesmerizing setlist that included covers of “Red Rain” by Peter Gabriel,” and “Under The Milky Way” by The Church. Despite what you might think, the Gabriel cover wasn’t a direct response to any rain on the day – there had been […]
Bonnaroo Day Three: Santa Bruce Comes To Bonnaroo
Today’s post had the original title of The Chair That Saved The Trip. I had my initial moment of chair lacking regret on Thursday night at the B-52’s show, and the feeling intensified when I got to Bonnaroo on Friday afternoon and saw tons of people relaxing in folding chairs while I was baking in […]
