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 […]
Category: Thanks That Was Fun
Facebook Fun: So this one time, we were talking about Coldplay and Joe Satriani….
Blogging buddy and occasional Ohio resident Kevin Mason throws me a nice shoutout that documents on video the recent conversation that several of us had on Facebook that started with a simple comment about Kevin’s status update, which had to do with the whole Coldplay/Joe Satriani thing. By the time it was over, the comment […]
Going back in time with Duran Duran’s “Classic Album” Rio on DVD
I got my hands on the recently released Duran Duran – Rio DVD, which gets the documentary treatment from Eagle Vision’s excellent Classic Albums video series. You’ve probably seen Classic Albums on VH-1 Classic featuring Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell, Def Leppard’s Hysteria, Queen’s A Night At The Opera, etc. I first discovered the […]
Friday Youtube Fun: The Great Big Yes + big big rock star hair
The Lemonheads – The Great Big No I know what you’re thinking. Actually, you might be thinking several things: 1. When did Glen Phillips from Toad The Wet Sprocket sing for The Lemonheads? 2. Wow, was this the week that Evan Dando stayed away from drugs? 3. Did I just have a seizure from the […]
Adventures in Madonna cover songs – The “dude sings a Madonna song” edition
So I’m on Youtube searching to see if there might be any live video of Patti Rothberg performing “Hard Times” from her latest album Double Standards…and I come across some video of Patti performing live at Madonnathon 2007 in New York City. The title alone, makes me want to move to NYC! And then I […]
The many faces of Courtney Love
I could probably start a separate blog dedicated to the frequent blog dispatches from everyone’s favorite crazy blonde this side of Anne Heche, Courtney Love. While I’m not sure that Courtney has ever done the naked dazed Anne Heche street walk of shame, I’m pretty sure she’s done everything else, and I love her for […]
Adventures in going to the post office: Special failure edition
Dear readers, I hope this finds you well and stuffed full of Thanksgiving memories. Today, I officially began the beautiful thing that some like to refer to as a “four day weekend.” Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to be semi-productive. For those of you that have been following the limited details of my […]
Dang snow.
I woke up this morning and the weather outside was (a bit) frightful…. Snow on the morning commute is so wrong. I’m guessing that all of the warm weather ATV readers have no idea what I’m talking about. Trust me, it sucks. The city streets were backed up with people who hadn’t seen snow before […]
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 […]
Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
Too soon? Kristen was looking for suggestions for a holiday mix, which sent me digging into my collection to throw a few tunes her way. Around that same time, Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records drops their new holiday release A Blackheart Christmas into my lap. And on A Blackheart Christmas is a cover of one of […]
