Posted on May 2, 2020 by Steve

 With this being May the Fourth be with You weekend, it’s only fitting to show off this guy’s LEGO Droid project I saw via a LEGO rumor site.

RIP Adam Schlesinger

Posted on April 2, 2020 by Steve

I had read earlier Adam was put into a medical coma because he was one of the unlucky few to come down with the full-blown illness caused by CV-19. It totally sucks he passed away. He was such a talented … Continue reading →

RIP Kenny Rogers

Posted on March 21, 2020 by Steve

Such a bummer to hear this on NPR and during this debacle during the Stupid Ages. I hope Kenny was at peace since all the news stories said he had been ill. I had the great opportunity to meet Kenny … Continue reading →

RIP Keith Olsen

Posted on March 13, 2020 by Steve

Keith’s name may not be easily recognizable unless you are a music Nerd like me who reads the liner notes on records/CDs…one thing you can’t see on MP3s/streams. He produced numerous artists you’d know by name though: Santana, Pat Benatar, … Continue reading →

SXSW 2020 is cancelled!!

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Steve

My bitching about SXSW is nothing new but its cancellation this Spring is a dream come true! We taxpaying, non-asshole residents get to enjoy our city for a little while longer. The writing was on the wall anyway. Nazi-sympathizer Jack … Continue reading →

RIP Neil Peart

Posted on January 11, 2020 by Steve

Neil will be greatly missed and I didn’t know that he retired or was sick. Although Rush isn’t a band I’m crazy about, namely due to radio only playing a very small sample of their larger work and much of … Continue reading →

RIP Jack Sheldon

Posted on January 3, 2020 by Steve

The most recognizable singing voice on Schoolhouse Rock (“I’m Just a Bill,” “Conjunction Junction”) passed away before 2019 ended. Jack even provided Bill’s voice for The Simpsons in what was one of their best ever retro jokes…  He also contributed a composite … Continue reading →

More proof demonstrating Gritty’s awesomeness! 12/19 edition

Posted on December 23, 2019 by Steve

A bitchin’ freebie at Waterloo Records promoting the Ramoms, a silly band using that play on words bit, promoting their Philly fandom and proving how Gritty is the best mascot in the NHL! I found other songs covered by the … Continue reading →

1969: The Altamont Festival debacle

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Steve

In an attempt to recapture the “magic” of Woodstock (an overrated event) but on the West Coast, the Rolling Stones ended their tour by having a festival with CSN&Y, Santana, Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead as openers. It wasn’t thought … Continue reading →

The Guardian‘s Top 50 Christmas Song list

Posted on December 5, 2019 by Steve

You can check it out at this link. I will warn you, their selections lean toward what the UK is more familiar with. I also give them credit for having the good taste in not listing super awful ones: Paul … Continue reading →

Phil Lynott once met Mayor McCheese…

Posted on October 27, 2019 by Steve

…and that’s about it. Sometimes random pictures from the Seventies just write themselves when it comes to whacky crap that happened! I think the funnier part is how sober Phil looks. Originally slated for : October 24, 2019 – 8:03 … Continue reading →

RIP: Ginger Baker

Posted on October 7, 2019 by Steve

I may be rather critical of Classic Rock and its icons but Ginger Baker is one of the few who ever received my wrath. Without his incredible drumming skills, Cream wouldn’t have been as impressive and thus, launched that racist … Continue reading →

RIP Kim Shattuck

Posted on October 2, 2019 by Steve

Kim’s name probably doesn’t bring up any particular memories until I mention the band she formed in the early Nineties, the Muffs. Then you’d recall their only “hit,” a cover of Kim Wilde’s “Kids in America” from the Clueless soundtrack. … Continue reading →

October’s usual festivities are suspended for 2019

Posted on October 1, 2019 by Steve

I often look forward to celebrating three of the biggest things happening October which aren’t Halloween: Italian Heritage, Pizza and a silly thing FM AOR stations invented called Rocktober, a new story idea I wanted to cover, more on it … Continue reading →
