Something else to look forward to in 2009…..STOKED!! Hey Rob, you’d better be going to the show in March at the Key Club, or we’re no longer friends!!! 🙂 From the band’s Myspace page: Due to the nature of vague speculation albeit created by your authors here, Armored Saint are officially announcing that they’ve begun […]

More Twitter-related fun – Finding out why everything sucks
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 […]
New album available now from Jules Shear!
So I’m sitting around tonight, and I had a thought that has come around occasionally in recent months: What the heck is Jules Shear up to? If you’re asking me who Jules is – here’s a couple of stats – As a songwriter, he wrote “All Through The Night” for Cyndi Lauper, and “If She […]
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 […]
Today’s scheduled activities
Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back. It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the […]
Documentary, Documentary – Cheech and Chong + Radio Daze on PBS
I had the day off on Monday – something that I really didn’t brag about in advance, because I value my safety….can’t have any of my fellow friends or co-workers after me to kick my ass, ya know? But yes, it was the glorious 5 day weekend that is coming to a very sad conclusion […]
Spending another Sunday morning with the Counting Crows
I’d like to start this particular post off with a plug for Mel, who takes a look at the pros and cons of long distance relationships via a two-parter post on her blog. Oh, the paragraphs I could dedicate to the subject…. We’re going to talk some Counting Crows in a second, but here’s a […]
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 […]
A new reason to hope that ex-Zeppelin members find new hobbies + the new GNR album
Greetings kids! I know I’ve been a tad silent in the past couple of days, and I’ve got a good explanation for that. Assuming that I start getting mail again someday (long story,) I decided to go ahead and finish up Andy Taylor’s Duran Duran book, so that I can start to power through some […]
A look back at the week that was
Hey kids, This is one of those recap kinda posts. Some music related stuff, some personal stuff, and all of the other stuff that you typically find in a recap kinda post. When we last left my personal life, I was rocking out at the Gin Blossoms…..and a lot has happened since then, so let’s […]
