Some Muppet metal moments you might have missed…
Shhhhhh! Don’t be alarmed if you’ve noticed a bit of silence from Matt over the past couple of days, because it seems that he might have been out enjoying life in the “real world!” Alarming, but true. Somehow I’ve found the time to check in with you all to share the important stuff: More Muppet […]
Spinning vinyl: Prince and Journey
My camera has been AWOL since I moved in about a year ago. I’ll find it someday. In the meantime, I was listening to some vinyl this morning, and snapped the following label pix using my cell phone for your viewing pleasure… Heading out the door now!
Today’s scheduled activities
Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back. It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the […]
Good Listening: Bruce Hornsby – Cleveland Music Hall – 11/20/93
Fifteen years ago, a Cleveland music fan in his late teens walked into Music Hall on the fence about Bruce Hornsby. He’d heard the necessary tunes, but had a couple of albums missing from his Hornsby collection. Yeah, that was me, and I couldn’t have picked a better show to fill in the gaps on […]
How much for that Smiths widget in that there window?

Adventures in fun interview parodies – the Van Halen edition
Yesterday’s Youtube fun brought me an isolated DLR vocal track for “Hot for Teacher” which led me to the following bit of Youtube gold – an Eddie Van Halen *ahem* “interview” Classic. (p.s. – speaking of isolated DLR tracks – surely you’ve heard this one already.) I had to see the John Petrucci video referenced […]
Roy Orbison – The Last Concert (in Cleveland) – Itunes Exclusive Release
I can still remember picking up the morning paper as a kid, and reading that Roy Orbison had died. I cut the article out of the paper, and was stunned that one of my favorite artists was suddenly gone. I was a bit of a late comer to Orbison’s music and while I was aware […]
Documentary, Documentary – Cheech and Chong + Radio Daze on PBS
I had the day off on Monday – something that I really didn’t brag about in advance, because I value my safety….can’t have any of my fellow friends or co-workers after me to kick my ass, ya know? But yes, it was the glorious 5 day weekend that is coming to a very sad conclusion […]
Adventures in Madonna cover songs – The “dude sings a Madonna song” edition
So I’m on Youtube searching to see if there might be any live video of Patti Rothberg performing “Hard Times” from her latest album Double Standards…and I come across some video of Patti performing live at Madonnathon 2007 in New York City. The title alone, makes me want to move to NYC! And then I […]
