This morning I feel a bit like Jim Carrey hearing the voices and problems of everyone in Bruce Almighty. Except I’m hearing nothing but Duran Duran fans arguing over the band’s most recent album Red Carpet Massacre, which is at least humorous. I’m guessing that like GNR and Journey fans, they can probably keep going […]

Laserdiscs and a vinyl-loaded trip to Detroit
Here we are at the beginning of another holiday weekend!! Happy new year to you all!! But let’s talk about the previous holiday weekend, which I’ll sum up in one word: Productive. I went to the thrift store to drop off a couple of boxes of CDs, and while I was there, I picked up […]
Spinning vinyl: The Go-Go’s
Winding down tonight after a busy day of work, and an evening of fellowship and food with Kevin Mason, I found myself back at home “spinning the black circle.” Tonight’s selections – the Mudcrutch Extended Play Live EP release that I just got in the mail, and after that, Talk Show by The Go-Go’s. Another […]
DXMas….a different kinda holiday mix tape for your listening pleasure
Assuming that you’re not drunkenly passed out from too much of that “special” eggnog, here’s some more special holiday musical cheer for your ears. A few years back, I received a suspiciously labeled package in the mail with my address scratched semi-illegibly on the face of the package. While I would normally mark “return to […]
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 […]
Roy Orbison – The Last Concert (in Cleveland) – Itunes Exclusive Release
I can still remember picking up the morning paper as a kid, and reading that Roy Orbison had died. I cut the article out of the paper, and was stunned that one of my favorite artists was suddenly gone. I was a bit of a late comer to Orbison’s music and while I was aware […]
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 […]
Good Listening: Hall and Oates – Acoustic Power (1991)
Hall and Oates – Starting All Over Again (live on Aussie TV in 1991) Hall and Oates acoustic. I know you like the sound of that. So here’s the deal – Daryl Hall and John Oates went back to their roots in 1991 with the release of their album Change of Season, and had the […]
Vintage Sounds: Jackson Browne and David Lindley – March 1st, 1974
You know, I sympathize with Ringo Starr just a little bit. I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of mail that a Beatle receives. Actually, I think I can visualize it though – the word “voluminous” comes to mind. I get a decent amount of site-related email, and a good percentage lately of that […]
