Contest: Win tickets to see Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers at the Beachland on Sunday!
Several years ago, my friend Rebecca and I were in Minneapolis for work. The annual Aquatennial celebration was going on during the time that we were there, and for those of you that are unfamiliar, the Aquatennial is basically a really huge block party that takes over the entire downtown area of Minneapolis for 10 […]
Setlist: Queensryche @ House of Blues 5-6-09
Wednesday’s night with Queensryche at the House of Blues was destined to be a tough sell for some in attendance. In fact, it had been a few years since I had seen Queensryche, because in my mind, I had already seen THE show. A few years ago, Chris Akin and I saw a tour opening […]
Queensryche @ House of Blues 5-6-09 – An alternate take
Here’s a guest review of last week’s Queensryche show at the House of Blues, from my good friend Chris Akin of Pitriff. Check out my own review of the night, right here. Queensryche is one of those bands that always works hard to give the fans what they want. Rarely in the last few years […]
Clutch reveal 2009 plans for world domination
My buddy Brian and I are big Clutch fans. In fact, did we ever tell you about the time that we were supposed to go see Clutch at the House of Blues during the Thanksgiving holiday break? We showed up, and our names were not on the guest list. Despite being kind of a big […]

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 […]
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
Ever wanted to hear Eddie Money cover Train, the Beatles, AC/DC, and the Four Tops? No? Well, he doesn’t care. That’s the snarky message that I read from my friend Jeff this morning on Twitter. There is no faster way to get me to buy music than to drop the name of one of my […]
