Whoa. Guest blog, what? Former Cleveland morning radio goddess, roller girl, and all-around viciously cool chick Cristi Cantle received an assignment from Scene Magazine to pen a list of things that she misses about Cleveland for their annual Best of Cleveland issue which is hitting the streets today. She shared it with me, and I […]

Good Listening: Ryan Adams – 9/30/08 – Cleveland, OH
I think Burgo’s gonna get mad at me for this one. I had the opportunity to go see Ryan Adams and the Cardinals here in Cleveland last week at the Palace Theatre, and I didn’t go. The Burg-meister has written quite a bit about Ryan Adams, including this posting on some of the new material […]
Because I don’t have enough CDs, inevitably I must buy more…
The opening line is a lil bit of a joke, and I’ve actually been working on thinning out my musical collection lately, which is something I need to focus more on, actually. But I love music, and I love acquiring new music…what’s a boy to do? As you might notice, I’ve been slacking on the […]
I think it might be NKOTB Day in Cleveland
Today’s post was inspired by Twitter conversation that I saw last night from G.W.T.T.M. (G.irls W.ho T.alk T.o M.e,) talking about tonight’s New Kids on the Block show happening at Quicken Loans Arena here in Cleveland. Check out the Twitter conversation search results for NKOTB – kids are stokin like it’s 1991 all over again. […]
A love letter to the music supervisors for Californication
Finally watched the season premiere of Californication, and I have to give serious props to Budd Carr and Nora Felder, who are listed in the credits as the music supervisors for the show. Californication spent all of the last season really impressing me with excellently placed and timed musical selections, particularly midway through the first […]
So you’re going to get fired from that radio station, huh?
Some of you might remember shock jock Greaseman, who achieved quite a bit of notoriety for all of the wrong reasons in the 90s. He’s back on the air in Jacksonville, FL with a new afternoon gig starting today on the classic rock station WFYV (Rock 105.) Of course WFYV had to make room by […]
No tricks, only treats – gimme J. Geils Band for Halloween please!
Cleveland peeps, pay attention to this one: Last year, I found myself at the Beachland Ballroom for their Halloween shindig, featuring a ton of local bands reborn (some in costume) to each play a tribute set of tunes from their favorite musical influences. I was there with my friend Amy to see our two favorite […]
Now that I see Daphne Zuniga’s picture, I’m kind of sorry we never met…
My co-worker Michael brought up the name of actress Daphne Zuniga yesterday, which met with a few blank stares and then my reaction, “Who’s that?” A funny bit of conversation followed that, and then things moved on, until later in the day when Michael and I had the following conversation via IM: M – Dude, […]
Bruce Springsteen + Super Bowl confirmed + related Boss items
This post is a little bit late going up tonight, but I have a good explanation for that that I’ll share before we get to the main subject matter. I was wrapping up work last week, when I saw a Twitter update from acmaurer about bacon cinnamon rolls! I immediately jumped to the link, and […]
