Incubus and others are collecting the hits via new retrospective packages
If your band spent the 90s and 00s kicking out the rock jams, now might be a good time to put out one of those career spanning retrospective thingamabob kinda things. As we sit on the tailgate looking at the end of the 00s, Incubus have done just that with the release of their new […]
The Very Best of Don Henley – In Stores June 16th
How big of a Don Henley fan am I? Well, there was that time a few years ago in 2005 that I drove 3+ hours to Detroit to see Henley, on tour that summer for a limited run of dates with Stevie Nicks. I bought a ticket for 100 bucks in the parking lot, watched […]
Quick Hits – Pearl Jam, Jay Bennett, Dave Brubeck, Cheap Trick + more
Hey kids, I can’t believe it, but Bonnaroo departure time is less than a week away for yours truly. I’ll be making the trip with Brian, new roommate Adam, and well, that’s it. It will be just us, a car full of stuff, and heads that will soon be filled with memories. Cheesy I know, […]

Musical Hangups: The Hooters – All You Zombies
Peter Chakerian and I were trading text messages yesterday about a new double live album from Philly rockers The Hooters. The talk made me pull out my copy of the Hooterization retrospective to provide the soundtrack for my drive to the Beachland Ballroom last night. On the drive over, I became reacquainted with “All You […]
Quick Hits: The Wrestler, The Yayhoos, Mix Tapes, & Lemonheads
Hey kids, I had a “moment” this past week. Occasionally, I’ll lend out music to friends, although if I have my ultra-anal thinking cap on, I’ll often just burn them a copy instead. In this case, I wasn’t thinking straight (not the first time that this has happened.) A couple of weeks later, my co-worker […]
Introducing Joshua Jesty’s “Girl”
I’ve been a bad friend. Speaking in general terms, this is nothing new. Speaking about Joshua Jesty, it deserves a little bit more explanation. Josh is one of those guys that I constantly owe him a phone call. Or an email. He’s calling me to see if I want to hang out. I’m telling him […]
