You Didn’t Know That? The Richard Marx Edition
Late last week, someone made reference to Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh contributing his signature guitar licks to Richard Marx’s rockin’ debut single “Don’t Mean Nothing’.” The tune went Top 5 for Marx – not bad for an opening shot, and as you know now, the track was the first of four massive hits for Marx […]
On Valentine’s Day
This is my first V-Day post, so it’s not quite a tradition yet…but just wait until next year! I’ve got a suspiciously timed dinner with my parents tonight, arranged with an early morning phone call. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps my parents have me on suicide watch on this hallowed chocolate covered day of luv. Or perhaps […]
When We Get to Surf City
My friend Pat sent me a Twitter message, “Dude, I can’t believe you didn’t respond to my Fountains of Wayne reference on Twitter.” “I was READING A BOOK,” I replied. “In no way believes that @addictedtovinyl was reading anything that was not online” was the Twitter reply from Pat.

Spinning vinyl: 38 Special – Tour De Force

After my dinner last night with blogger/Clevo/Nashville buddy Kevin Mason, I was re-inspired and researching a future webcam purchase today. During lunch, I went to Best Buy to see a couple of the options in the flesh. I think I found (thanks […]
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 […]
