Hell freezes over and in related news, The Oak Ridge Boys cover The White Stripes
Sometimes a new blog post just drops into your lap, like a gift from rock and roll heaven, hurled downward by Rock and Roll Jesus his self. Such is the case with today’s post. I’m sitting here, and an email pops into my box that says “New Release from Oak Ridge Boys – Seven Nation […]
Bruce Springsteen + Mike Ness rockin’ Bad Luck
After the two Los Angeles dates this past week, I think that my anticipation for seeing my own Springsteen shows this year went into complete overdrive.

DXMas….a different kinda holiday mix tape for your listening pleasure
Assuming that you’re not drunkenly passed out from too much of that “special” eggnog, here’s some more special holiday musical cheer for your ears. A few years back, I received a suspiciously labeled package in the mail with my address scratched semi-illegibly on the face of the package. While I would normally mark “return to […]
