Oh internet friends of mine, it’s been a looooong time since we’ve done one of these Quick Hits type of posts. I’m getting ready to point my car towards Michigan for night #2 of the J. Geils Band reunion shows in Detroit, happening Saturday night. The band are reuniting for a pair of shows in […]

Wow, what a weekend. Guitar extravaganza closes out the Rock Hall inductions with, from left, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Joe Perry, Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield. photo by Joshua Gunter / The Plain Dealer I seriously had every intention of merely “swiping” and linking to Brian’s overview of the event.

Nine Inch Nails are currently on tour in Australia, and NIN mainman Trent Reznor gave a rare in-person interview yesterday (2/22) to Triple J Radio.

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. Am I a music slut too? The Music Slut led me to an article at FemaleFirst featuring a short interview with Carnie […]
