Remembering John Hughes
I’ll offer apologies in advance for the tardiness of this particular item, with a slight bit of reasoning and explanation for the lateness to follow later in this piece. As a child of the 80s, I’ve spent quite a few moments deep in thought since John Hughes passed away. When Hughes passed, I had plenty […]

Ooooh we belong together, like traffic and weather, traffic and weather!
I loved the Fountains of Wayne album Traffic & Weather, and in my opinion, they didn’t perform the title track nearly enough. I think I saw them play it one time when they played the House of Blues here in Cleveland, and then alas, when I saw them later on that same tour, they didn’t […]

New Otis Redding best of due from Shout! Factory on October 20th
In my list of classic R&B / soul performers, Otis Redding easily lands in my top 5. It’s criminal after all of these years of enjoying Redding’s music, my overall knowledge of his complete output is still woefully incomplete. I definitely need to dig further into his catalog, and one of these days, I will […]
