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.

When Retards Attack: Heaven & Hell CA In-Store
I believe that my pal Brian would file this in category “The Dumb.” Thanks to Chris Akin for sharing this with the following comment: As if Metal fans needed help looking like idiots, this jagoff comes along to keep the retard image going! This reminds me humorously of some of the metal in-stores that Chris […]
Eddie Money – The Covers EP – Volume 1

Billy Sheehan – Holy Cow!
Some of the most talented musicians on the planet seem to get lost sometimes in the liner notes, next to the more recognizable “star” power. Billy Sheehan has luckily gotten more notice than some of his peers, and maybe a little bit of that has something to do with the fact that he’s so frikkin’ […]
