15 Albums That Changed My Life – Super-Sized Edition
The following post is ripped straight from my Facebook page…..kind of. I’ve been amused recently by the people that are irritated by the rising amount of Top 5/10/15/25 “chain letter” posts on Facebook. “Don’t turn Facebook into Myspace,” is one of the pleas that I read from one person. I actually enjoy reading this kind […]

As you’ll know from reading the stuff that shows up here, 90s nostalgia is everlasting and ongoing in my world. It never goes out of style. Today I joined a Facebook group for music fans that “grew up listening” to 107.9 The End, the legendary Cleveland alternative station in the 90s. The End was the […]
Hold On….Wilson Phillips is coming back
In 1990, I don’t think that I could have predicted that one day I’d be reading about a Wilson Phillips reunion via something called “the internet” on a website called The Music Slut.

This “being social in the real world” thing really cramps my blogging style! After my dinner last night with blogger/Clevo/Nashville buddy Kevin Mason, I was re-inspired and researching a future webcam purchase today. During lunch, I went to Best Buy to see a couple of the options in the flesh. I think I found (thanks […]

Another […]

The Meaning of Life according to Clint Eastwood and Little Steven
I picked up Esquire Magazine’s 8th annual Meaning of Life issue over the weekend. Fifty interviews, one person from each state. I was sucked in by Clint Eastwood on the cover, and also seeing the names of Little Steven…..and Chloë Sevigny? Inside the table of contents, Mickey Rourke. Sold. Side note: I kinda have a […]
