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!

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 […]
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 […]
Random Journey
This came up in my recommended Youtube videos….as if Youtube somehow knows how much I love this song. I’ll agree with the description, it IS a strange video! I don’t know that I ever saw this video prior to now! This is the (rather strange) video for After The Fall from Journey’s 1983 album Frontiers. […]
Guest Blog: New Kids on the Block at Quicken Loans Arena 10-3-08
Today’s guest blog comes courtesy of my rock and roll bro Corey at Rabble Rousin’ Since ’77. Last Thursday night, I had a vision and realized that I needed to get in touch with Corey to have him blog his experiences as a lifelong New Kids on the Block fan in attendance for the NKOTB […]
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. […]
Four weeks. 20 papers. That’s two dollars. Plus tip.
See, the problem here is that my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and, and uh, my grandmother dropped acid, and she freaked out and hijacked a school bus full of penguins, so it’s kind of a family crisis, so, come back later? Great. As an uber-fan of Better Off […]
The Gospel According To Molly Ringwald…er, John Hughes?
via Stuck in the ’80s: A small American Baptist congregation outside Chicago is getting weekly lessons in “The Gospel of John Hughes,” according to the Chicago Sun-Times. For example, with “The Breakfast Club,” Hudgins’ message is this, according to the Sun-Times: ” ”Don’t You Forget About Me’ says we are not forgotten. … But everyone’s […]
Vinyl Record Day: A couple of cool things to read
Mark it down – I’m pointing you all towards something from The Plain Dealer that is not authored by John Soeder. That’s right folks, it happens on rare occasion. Speaking of that, one of these days, I’m going to ask John if “Soeder” is pronounced in such a way that rhymes with Loder….as in Kurt […]
A Saturday song with Saturday in the title
And I’m not talking about “Saturday in the Park,” or “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” or even “Saturday Night” by Bay City Rollers. And I’m not talking about the version of “Saturday Night” by Ned’s Atomic Dustbin. But come to think of it, I should be. Anyway. Retro Music Snob featured my post regarding the […]
