The Church will be in town on Saturday night at The Winchester for the Cleveland stop of their 30th anniversary acoustic tour. We’re stoked, and you already know this. Here’s something you might not have seen yet – our pals at Slicing Up Eyeballs spent some time conversing with author Robert Lurie, the man behind […]

Finding The Light in Darkness: A conversation with Springsteen author Lawrence Kirsch
As we break the seal on 2010, I’m looking forward (as so many Springsteen fans are) to the much-discussed commemorative box set for Bruce Springsteen’s classic release, Darkness on the Edge of Town. We don’t know at this point specifically what shows/materials will be incorporated into the bonus elements of the release, but it is […]
Contest: Win a signed copy of “Looking for Calvin and Hobbes”
One of my favorite books that I’ve read this year, is Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Comic Strip by Nevin Martell. (You can check out my review at Popdose right here.) Until and unless Watterson decides to tell the story himself, this book is the most […]
Book Review: The Light in Darkness by Lawrence Kirsch
When I unwrapped the Live: 1975/85 box set, which I received as a Christmas gift from my parents in 1986, I don’t think I truly had a complete idea of exactly how much of an impact Bruce Springsteen would have on my life. As I put in the first cassette, and began thumbing through the […]

Strange but true. You’ll recall a […]
Latest purchases: The holiday weekend edition.
This morning I feel a bit like Jim Carrey hearing the voices and problems of everyone in Bruce Almighty. Except I’m hearing nothing but Duran Duran fans arguing over the band’s most recent album Red Carpet Massacre, which is at least humorous. I’m guessing that like GNR and Journey fans, they can probably keep going […]
More Twitter-related fun – Finding out why everything sucks
Who enjoys networking on Twitter? This guy. New and interesting people continue to find their way on to my radar via Twitter. Like recent Yale graduate Hannah Friedman, who is writing her first book Everything Sucks: Losing My Mind and Finding Myself in a High School Quest for Cool, a “teenage memoir” that will land […]
