I’d like to start this particular post off with a plug for Mel, who takes a look at the pros and cons of long distance relationships via a two-parter post on her blog. Oh, the paragraphs I could dedicate to the subject…. We’re going to talk some Counting Crows in a second, but here’s a […]

Siskel and Ebert review Better Off Dead
While assembling my next post, I came across video on Youtube of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert reviewing Savage Steve Holland’s Better Off Dead at the time of it’s original release in 1985. I guess I’m not surprised that they hated it, and it’s entertaining to watch them bash a movie that is now considered […]
The many faces of Courtney Love
I could probably start a separate blog dedicated to the frequent blog dispatches from everyone’s favorite crazy blonde this side of Anne Heche, Courtney Love. While I’m not sure that Courtney has ever done the naked dazed Anne Heche street walk of shame, I’m pretty sure she’s done everything else, and I love her for […]
Thanksgiving gets Rick Rolled
Thanks to my boy, Corey, King of the Rabble Rouser Kingdom for pointing me towards video of this – I had heard about this “very special moment” on this year’s edition of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, but I hadn’t had a chance to Youtube it. Enjoy it for yourselves – you know what I’m […]
Adventures in going to the post office: Special failure edition
Dear readers, I hope this finds you well and stuffed full of Thanksgiving memories. Today, I officially began the beautiful thing that some like to refer to as a “four day weekend.” Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to be semi-productive. For those of you that have been following the limited details of my […]
Thanksgiving pre-game action to keep your ears busy
My mom asks me what I’m looking forward to about the family Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I quickly replied that I was looking forward to arriving at 4pm, and being back home before 6pm. The response on the other end of the phone line as you can probably guess, was silence. Of course I was being […]
Speaking of Girl In A Coma…plus more GNR
That first official day of fierce in your face winter with lots of snow, snow, and more snow, accessorized with wind, really took it out of me yesterday. It was snowing pretty good as I left the west side yesterday morning to drive to the east side for work. While at work, it snowed all […]
Dang snow.
I woke up this morning and the weather outside was (a bit) frightful…. Snow on the morning commute is so wrong. I’m guessing that all of the warm weather ATV readers have no idea what I’m talking about. Trust me, it sucks. The city streets were backed up with people who hadn’t seen snow before […]
I’m thinkin’ about Tonic
Any Tonic fans in the house? I’ve been listening to Tonic’s second album Sugar a lot this week. It’s probably my favorite from the three albums that they’ve done, (so far?) and I feel like they often got the short end of a stick as a band. Take a look at their three albums, and […]
Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
Too soon? Kristen was looking for suggestions for a holiday mix, which sent me digging into my collection to throw a few tunes her way. Around that same time, Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records drops their new holiday release A Blackheart Christmas into my lap. And on A Blackheart Christmas is a cover of one of […]
