Halloween is right around the corner, so it’s time to start planning your sweet Halloween costume. If you’re a single girl, you’re probably already trying to parlay this into tricking guys into thinking you’re hot. Halloween is your one opportunity of the year to dress like a complete hooker without anyone thinking less of you.

Someone commented on my last post saying that the Bridge School Benefit 2007 was a let down. It’s hard to make that admission when it’s a benefit concert for such a good cause, but I am in complete agreement. I’m piss poor at writing concert reviews, so let’s just treat these as notes from the […]

I just read this article in the San Jose paper and realized that this is an all acoustic show. That means Metallica also. Should be interesting to say the least.
I’m really only going to see MMJ, Tom Waits and Neil Young. There’s also a rumor that Bruce Springsteen may shock everyone and walk […]

That’s where I’ll be tomorrow so if you’re in the bay area, let’s get together and drink some $6 beers. It’s for a good cause.
Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert at Shoreline Amphitheater is going on Saturday and Sunday this weekend in Mountain View, CA. I haven’t been at an amphitheater for a show […]

We’ve recorded yet another session that’ll be posted soon. Here’s a quick teaser to show you what’s in store.
Dusty Rhodes and the River Band - “Dear Honey”

And here’s the original Dusty Rhodes. The American Dream, indeed.

Tulsa, named after a book of photography and not the Oklahoma city, just put out their second EP entitled I was Submerged on the excellent Park The Van record label. I had picked up their first EP earlier this year and, although it was good, I wasn’t particularly blown away. After a few weeks it […]

Band of Horses - Live on KEXP

The film is scheduled to open on November 21st in the US and Dylan is played by six different actors: Marcus Carl Franklin, Ben Whishaw, Heath […]

Radiohead kicked the middleman to the curb indeed. They released their new album, In Rainbows, directly to fans and just asked for donations. Fans ultimately decided on the fate of the album’s value, which turned out to be about $8.00.
I’m sure that’s just fine by Radiohead because they made $10 million in profit and […]
