Two ATV favorites are celebrating birthdays this week – our first birthday greeting goes out to Moody Blues frontman Justin Hayward, a longtime staple in my musical collection both with the Moodies and solo. My Hayward/Moodies love began when I saw this video as a kid…. Moody Blues Your Wildest Dreams by avajra ….and continued […]
Tag: Good Humor
Do I end every sentence like it’s a question, aye?
Thanks to Rob Smith of Popdose for pointing me towards this hilarious video exchange featuring an “interview” with 80s popster Richard Marx. Billboard’s Bill Werde and Marx kick the traditional interview format out the window while discussing Marx’s latest album Emotional Remains, and have some humorous fun at the expense of some of Marx’s fellow […]
Oates, I forgot how soft your hands were….
We’re just as excited as everybody else about the pending public reunion of J-Stache and John Oates, set to occur live onstage at the American Mustache Institute’s annual Stache Bash happening on October 30th in St. Louis. Presumably, Oates will be there to promote the brand new super-bad ass Hall & Oates box set Do […]
DXism – Tribute Bands
A continuing series of helpful advice, humorous observations, questions about life, and obscure movie quotes and musical references, as posted by Scene Magazine staff writer D.X. Ferris on Twitter. Follow @dxferris for daily doses of the magic. Look out! (The previous MUST be said in the voice of Ronnie James Dio.) We’ve got not one, […]
Fake Albums We’d Like To See: Seether
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen as much hate and general dislike as I’ve witnessed this year on display for Seether’s cover of “Careless Whisper,” which veers pretty far left of the original recording by George Michael. Some might even call it a total car crash with no survivors. With that in mind, […]
Stuff People Buy: Olivia Newton-John
It’s dirty secret reveal time here at ATV: Actually, we might have talked about this before, but my brain is currently frozen from the lemon ice I just ate towards the end of the work day. We’re about to say goodbye to our summer interns (hooray!) as we approach the end of summer, and our […]
There’s a party, but you’re not invited
We’ve got some egg on our face today. It seems we had a party, and forgot to invite a bunch of people. But that’s only because a bunch of people forgot to invite US! Brian from Broken Headphones was there, wearing his trademark Corona visor, while Pat the Producer spun tunes on the wheels of […]
Oh Buddyhead, how we missed thee!
Hey kids! Sorry for the eerie sort of silence here for the past few days. I’ve been a tad busy once again going out to enjoy the occasional moment in the outside world. Night life, I think they call it. Although Brian from Broken Headphones would be quick to tell you that I haven’t been […]
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 […]
