I’m so terribly delayed at keeping up with my TRBX posts. So bad, there’s already a new logo and site up for Rock Boat Eleven. For shame. I’ll blame my cat. In keeping the spirit of “Things That Mel are INCREDIBLY bad with,” I cannot retain the names of singular band members. I know I […]

Waxing Nostalgic & something to enjoy with your morning coffee.
Remember when MTV not only played MUSIC VIDEOS but there were two crazy VJs named Julie Brown running around set? Wubba Wubba Wubba. Last night at Edison’s Pub in Tremont, “The Homecoming Queen’s Gotta Gun” by the redheaded, wackier Julie Brown played at closing time. Of course, I was the only person who actually remembered […]
Where all the white women at? The women of TRBX.
White or not, there is a deficiency of women artists on the rock boat. I’m not looking for the next Lilith Fair on water, as I’m only half gay and then I would complain about penises, but seriously, how awesome would THAT cruise be? Moving on, I think the boat could use a little more […]
TRBX!
Like many, I’m an old fan of the band Sister Hazel. Certainly, you’re a Hazelnut too if you remember and enjoy the great 90s hit “All For You.” And along with every other 90s-era favorite, they seemed to fade into some metaphorical musical sunset. Upon first hearing of The Rock Boat adventure from my boyfriend […]
Silver Bullet Bucket List & All I Want For Christmas is for Michael McDonald to not sing any Christmas songs.
You can all give me shit later for ignoring you on ATV for so long. It’s the holidays, so let’s wait until after New Year’s, mmm-kay? And it’s OK, I know you miss me… I see it on my stats every time you Google me. Thanks to Jukebox 65 for musically inspiring a post from […]
My Trip Hop Days
Most of you were were probably enjoying my ATV hiatus. One of you even thought I wouldn’t get out of that basement you locked me in… never! Screw you, I’m back. I’m out and proud too, but that’s an entirely different matter. Speaking of basements, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the summer release from Basement Jaxx […]
The Airborne Toxic Event – House of Blues, Cleveland – 08.04

Thanks to Radio 92.3‘s Cheap Date night concert Tuesday night at House of Blues, I was in a dream on a cheap date featuring Ohio Sky and The Airborne Toxic Event. Ohio Sky […]

Is it too late, baby? Oh, it’s too late.
There are several negative personality traits to which I possess that I hold my mother accountable (or reasons to which I have nobody else to blame): my selfishness, my hopeless budgeting, my apathy to almost everything, a barely-there want or desire for children, perpetual procrastination and impending boredom and more specifically, my propensity to see […]
