How’s your falsetto voice holding up these days? Because if you’re like me, it’s very likely that you’ll be singing the chorus of Dan Hartman’s “I Can Dream About You” as soon as you start reading this interview. And of course, the next logical step after that is to listen to “I Can Dream About […]

Richard Marx – ‘Hold On To The Nights’
In a perfect world, I’d have all day everyday to sit around and watch the album “making of” documentaries and videos featuring the “stories behind the songs,” but too often, I see something of interest, bookmark it to watch it later and then never get around to it. But when I saw that Richard Marx […]
The Muppets….Yaaaaaaay!
I had a chance to go see ‘The Muppets’ over the weekend and how cool is it that we can have a Muppet movie in 2011 that actually doesn’t suck? It’s pretty great to see the positive reception to this movie and whether or not it’s something that your kids will enjoy, I guess that’s […]
Daryl Hall, John Oates and a Fiero
This one’s near and dear to my heart for a couple of reasons. 1) I love Hall & Oates and 2) there was that one time that (in my mind) I almost had a Fiero. It was the ’80s (of course it was) and KWES (my local radio station) was giving away a Fiero. I […]
CD Review: The Outfield, ‘Replay’
Has it really been 25 years since ‘Play Deep,’ the debut album from British power pop trio, The Outfield? Or 22 years since the last new material that founding members John Spinks (guitars), Tony Lewis (bass) and Alan Jackman (drums) have recorded together—the buoyant ‘Voices of Babylon?’ It has. And while I feel old typing […]
Albums I’d Pay To See: The Steve Winwood Edition
Driving home tonight, I was listening to the new ‘Icon’ hits compilation from Steve Winwood and it put my thoughts off into an interesting direction. One of the things that continually bugs me somewhat silently (except for when I’m writing posts like this) is the shift that Steve Winwood made that took him away from […]
CD Review: The Cars – Move Like This
Our friend Matt Rowe from MusicTAP takes a break from bringing us awesome news about things like the recently announced 30th anniversary edition of Hi Infidelity by REO Speedwagon to ponder Move Like This, the first new studio album from The Cars in 24 years… One has to ask the question. Why had the original […]
Random Youtube: Richard Marx – A career rewind
The other day in the office, we discovered with horror that a couple of our younger co-workers were unfamiliar with “No Reply At All” by Genesis. This is hardly a new thing – a few years ago, I went to see Howard Jones with a friend and her boyfriend and at the conclusion, we walked […]
Random Youtube: Whitesnake – Love Will Set You Free
Arguably, Whitesnake made some of the most kick ass videos during the ’80s. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Cryptkeeper, er, David Coverdale is back to let you know that “Love Will Set You Free.” The track comes off of the band’s new album Forevermore, which will be in stores on March 29th. With […]
Random Youtube: Duran Duran – All You Need Is Now
All You Need Is Now is seriously the great Duran Duran album that a lot of Duran fans probably never thought they’d hear again, but they’ve certainly done right with their latest album, produced by Mark Ronson. The album has been available as an Itunes exclusive since late last year and will drop in CD […]
