The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Four
Here are your links for last week’s the Week in Rock Roundtable: Part 1: where we discuss Prism (“the Canadian Toto”) and Tony “Huge in Germany” Carey Part 2: where we discuss Peter “wants to be in the J Geils band” Wolf, even more Robert Plant and Live (“Could Live Get More Punchingly Earnest Than...
The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Three
I got so caught up in my excitement for St. Patrick’s Day that I completely forgot to link out to last week’s Week in Rock Roundtable. Last week, John from Lost in the ’80s joined, along with Gary from Media Hound and Will from Bullz-Eye. Don’t ask me what the current participant count is, because...
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
As someone with red hair, people are often surprised that I’m Irish (actually, I’m not entirely kidding when I say that). What generally does surprise people, though, is that I’m not big on music in the style of the mother country. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never been a fan of that...
The Week in Rock Roundtable: Week Two
There’s been so much Week in Rock Roundtable goodness going on! Firstly, the second installment from last week’s discussion can be read here. On the chopping block: Journey, The Firm, Robert Plant, Aerosmith. Secondly, two more people came on board for this week’s bantering: Dave M. from Bullz-Eye, and Michael from Down with Snark! This...
Lost MP3 of the Week: Tupac, “So Many Tears”
When it comes to the battle of great rappers of the ’90s, I don’t like to take sides in the Biggie vs. Tupac argument. As a West Coaster, I grew up being much more familiar with Tupac’s music, but can certainly appreciate Notorious B.I.G. A couple weeks ago, I saw an amazing documentary called Bastards...
Week in Rock Roundtable: Week One

Are we all so busy competing for readers that we can’t be bothered to come together in the name of what it is we’re doing all of this...

Athena / I Had No Idea How Much I’d Need Her
I’ve wanted a tattoo since I was in high school. I came up with new ideas every month, desperately searching for the perfect image to get emblazoned on my skin. I never got anything, though, because despite my longing to decorate my body with ink, I knew that I hadn’t come across anything that I...
The Fruit Stand Outside My Window.
When I was a bit younger, probably about Middle School age, I used to think of a music video for almost every song I listened to. I knew I’d never have a future in the music video concept business, though, because my idea for each music video usually consisted of exactly what I was doing...
2s-day
I wish I had a deep, intriguing reason for writing about “Fools Fall In Love” (not to be confused with “Why Do Fools Fall In Love?”), but I don’t. A couple days ago I was thinking about how movies and books about long, tumultuous romances almost always end badly, and for whatever reason, this song...
