Well kids, here we are! After making my way through seemingly insurmountable amounts of work on Monday and Tuesday, I was finally ready and able to step out the door for Bonnaroo. At this point, I need to stop down and give huge amounts of thanks to my co-worker and fantastic friend Rebecca for being […]
Flight 666 now departing….
I wore out Piece of Mind, I mean I WORE THAT OUT! I listened to it all day, and then when it got to be night time, I put the headphones on… Tom Morello Rage Against The Machine “Flight 666 is now taking off,” “F*ckin’ Maiden,” and “Up The Irons” were just a few of […]
Old 97s frontman Rhett Miller releases new solo CD via Shout! Factory
Rhett Miller is a busy guy. Just looking at the promotional blitz for his brand new self-titled solo album (out today via Shout! Factory) would make you tired.

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 […]
