Brian from Broken Headphones emailed me the other day and noted that it’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Tesla. I took this email as a cry for help, and decided to completely ignore his obvious request for a Tesla update. Instead, I’m posting this live video of Sebastian Bach performing the Skid […]

Too Much Evan Dando is Never Enough and Other 90s Misadventures Retold and Redrawn
As you’ll know from reading the stuff that shows up here, 90s nostalgia is everlasting and ongoing in my world. It never goes out of style. Today I joined a Facebook group for music fans that “grew up listening” to 107.9 The End, the legendary Cleveland alternative station in the 90s. The End was the […]
Review: Jason and the Scorchers – Beachland Ballroom – 12/31/08
Well hello vinyl citizens! So it seems that I’ve been away for a little bit. I’m so behind the blogging 8 ball, I don’t know where to begin! Real life has been hogging up large amounts of my precious free time of late. Mother Nature also kindly decided to dump a hella-ton of snow on […]
Trent Reznor got mad, and now he’s getting even
Thanks to Burgo for the Twitter heads up on this: UPDATED 1/12/08 (see below): Remember the plans that Trent Reznor had for a 3-D concert film documenting the recent Nine Inch Nails Lights in the Sky tour? As you’ll recall, the project fell through, allegedly due to Reznor’s former label Interscope declining to fund the […]
Latest purchases: The holiday weekend edition.
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 […]
More laserdiscs – Bon Jovi – Keep The Faith: An Evening with Bon Jovi
Still ‘lovin this holiday weekend! On today’s agenda, I’m meeting up with a friend of mine who will be driving me to an eye exam where I’ll finally get new glasses. Getting new glasses has been on my agenda for about a year now, and I decided to have her come along to be my […]
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: 38 Special – Tour De Force
This “being social in the real world” thing really cramps my blogging style! After my dinner last night with blogger/Clevo/Nashville buddy Kevin Mason, I was re-inspired and researching a future webcam purchase today. During lunch, I went to Best Buy to see a couple of the options in the flesh. I think I found (thanks […]
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.
