Blogging buddy and occasional Ohio resident Kevin Mason throws me a nice shoutout that documents on video the recent conversation that several of us had on Facebook that started with a simple comment about Kevin’s status update, which had to do with the whole Coldplay/Joe Satriani thing.

Going back in time with Duran Duran’s “Classic Album” Rio on DVD
I got my hands on the recently released Duran Duran – Rio DVD, which gets the documentary treatment from Eagle Vision’s excellent Classic Albums video series.
