Who enjoys networking on Twitter? This guy. New and interesting people continue to find their way on to my radar via Twitter. Like recent Yale graduate Hannah Friedman, who is writing her first book Everything Sucks: Losing My Mind and Finding Myself in a High School Quest for Cool, a “teenage memoir” that will land […]

I’m thinkin’ about Tonic
Any Tonic fans in the house? I’ve been listening to Tonic’s second album Sugar a lot this week. It’s probably my favorite from the three albums that they’ve done, (so far?) and I feel like they often got the short end of a stick as a band. Take a look at their three albums, and […]
Nothing says I love you like Keith Richards
Cassette from My Ex has been on my love list for a while now, a site where you can listen to old mix tapes from someone’s ex, and hear the story behind the mix courtesy of the original recipient of the tape. I love the story behind this mix shared by writer Jancee Dunn. How […]
Your Springsteen dose for the day
Dan’s Classic Rock FM blog, a regular stop in my browsing travels, led me to the following Springsteen item today, which comes from my radio friend Jay Philpott. Jay shared the following Springsteen story and audio in a recent blog entry: Here’s a very revealing story about what a great guy Bruce is, and to […]
Empire Records
Kelly @ Popdose is back with another winner in the Soundtrack Saturday series. Last week: Better Off Dead. This week: Empire Records. I love this movie about a Gen X-run independent record store for a few reasons. One is the nostalgia factor. It definitely makes me think of high school — Class of ‘96, in […]
Sarah McLachlan, Broken Headphones, and some other stuff
I’ve been grooving to “U Want Me 2,” one of two new tracks on Closer: The Best of Sarah McLachlan (pre-order regular or deluxe edition,) McLachlan’s first greatest hits collection, set for release on October 7th. It’s been a long time since McLachlan’s last proper studio album Afterglow in 2003, and long enough that hearing […]
Good Listening: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – Live in New York City Volume 2
You’ve got part three already, and now, here is part two: Thanks by the way, to Pete @ Blogness on the Edge of Town for making my day times twelve by mentioning Addicted to Vinyl in this post pointing fellow Bruce-lovin’ folks here. Blogness has become a daily must surf for me, and though I […]
I’m hungry for the green mind
In the midst of an otherwise crazy busy day, I caught a Twitter update from TMZ referencing “Hungry Bloodshot Eyes” and had this sinking feeling that it was Eric Carmen related. Remember that ’80s song “Hungry Eyes”? The guy who recorded it was busted in an epic DUI. Oh man, I’m thinking they must have […]
Put your 90s sunglasses on and rock out with some of these….
Semisonic – Closing Time Welcome to September! My unofficial ’90s weekend drew to a close yesterday with an awesome set from Big Head Todd & The Monsters at Taste of Cleveland. My friend Captain, forever living his life in lower case over @ captains dead was surprised to find out that Big Head Todd are […]
For those that dig old ticket stubs….
I think I’ve met my match – a guy that has been to just as many (or maybe more) concerts as I have. And he’s got the ticket stubs to prove it. Click here to check out Jeff Verseman’s very cool collection of ticket stubs from the 70s to present day!
