Thanks to Rob Smith of Popdose for pointing me towards this hilarious video exchange featuring an “interview” with 80s popster Richard Marx.

Welcome to Quick Hits, the periodic time of the month where I go through my Google Reader, and share with you all of the cool news that’s been rocking my world. According to a quick search, it’s allegedly been two months since we’ve done this. I’m pretty sure that I did one in October, but […]

First, an update to the Westerberg entry I posted yesterday – it seems like you might have to wait a bit longer to plunk down 49 cents for 49 minutes of new Paul Westerberg. The new music is supposed to be available today, and might be still – but it’s more likely that the download […]

Quick Hits – One Hit Wonders, Pirate Radio, and Mix Tapes
Greetings from Memorial Day Weekend in Cleveland, where I saw Filter for the second time in a week, last night at the House of Blues.

Quick Hits – Dave Grohl, Stone Temple Pilots, Rick Astley, and more
Here are just a few things that have been rocking my world over the past couple of weeks. Stone Temple Pilots delivered a rockin’ performance on Jimmy Kimmel that might not have been perfect, and definitely had a bit of rust – but man, it was good to see the DeLeo brothers back on stage […]
