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 […]
Good Listening: The Lemonheads – Live in Chicago – 7/4/94
When Beth and I had our little vinyl meetup the other day, we spent a good amount of time talking about Evan Dando and The Lemonheads. It’s A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads are two of my 90s desert island discs from my teenage years. If it was possible to wear […]
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. Another […]
The Smithereens live DVD – 5 full-length video clips online now
As mentioned in a previous update, The Smithereens (a.k.a. world’s greatest band/one of ’em anyway) will release a DVD companion to their 2008 live release on January 15th. Smithereens frontman Pat Dinizio recently put up a post with 6 full length videos from Live in Concert. You can click through on each video link to […]
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 […]
Scattered Musical Thoughts: GNR, Supermint and Dog Society
I couldn’t exactly think of a subject line that was completely appropriate, and the above seemed to at least cover it, although there are probably some that would argue (myself included!) that this blog is ALL about “scattered musical thoughts!” Anyway. Friday night, I got together with my buddy Corey for a long overdue hangout […]
