The Skinny:
This morning I was listening to Hype Machine team’s “love feed” and I got the urge to drop something. Since I was at work, it was important that I could easily find some new tracks, which the Hype Machine took care of, and more importantly be able to get them back to my home […]

The Dandy’s are back! I am definitely in for the Boston show. I am a bit surprised they are going to the Wilbur Theater. If Avalon wasn’t recently dismantled, I would guess they would have played there instead.
There is a pre-sale via Ticket Master on Thursday June 19th at 10am. You can only buy tickets […]

I am tempted to head out to the Paradise Rock Club for this Breeders show. Maybe Frank Black will make an appearance.
Enjoy.

I am on quite a roll as of late and am lovin’ it! The Orpheum Theater in downtown Boston is spoiling me. First it was 2nd row at the Dresden Dolls last month and last night it was the 3rd row for Editors. I would like to give props to my buddy Shermadelic who was […]

First off I would like to thank my friends Tyler and Angie for the invite to this show. I have not been a big listener of the Dresden Dolls but after sitting in the 2nd row of Boston’s Orpheum Theater the other night, I can now appreciate what they offer.

The Skinny:
Getting through the last month of every year is tough for many reasons. Whether it is hitting a last minute deadline (or many deadlines) at work, figuring out what to buy for that secret santa who you know nothing about, finding time to shop for gifts incrementally instead of at the last minute, or […]

Last night, after a long week of fighting a cold and slogging through an even tougher work week, my tired cortex needed something more soothing than just tea and honey. After staring blankly at the stack of new cd’s sitting on desk, I closed my eyes and picked one from the middle of the stack. […]

About a year ago Brett Tieman of The Mugs got in touch with me via MySpace. I get a bunch of requests each week about posting new tracks for bands but unfortunately most are just not ready for general listening and should just stick to their Jack Johnson covers. The Mugs were not one of […]
