The August Infinity: This Is How America ROCKS!
On June 15, 2010 at 2:31 pm
I’ve been in sweat sharing distance from quite a few egos in my day, but I’ve yet to experience anything that remotely compares to being soaked by multiple DNA mixed by pure amazement while trying not to bust a move between speakers in a fifteen by fifteen room with these guys. EPIC!
TAKE THAT Justin Bieber!
On May 27, 2010 at 6:49 am
Critics are mixed. ‘Critics’ meaning each and every internet user with a hashtag obsession or easily triggered gag reflex. Evidently the hyper-exploitation of 16 year old Canadian Poptart Justin Bieber has hit a few sour notes with web surfers culminating in a ban that no doubt required far more devotion than it was worth. Thanks [...]

On March 2, 2010 at 8:22 am
**** (out of 4) Label: Mercury Nashville It’s a great day for country music. Today the self-titled debut album from Easton Corbin is finally released. The album is a consistently easy blend of near perfect vocals and incredibly listenable arrangements that would make anyone fall back in love with country music. Some have even called [...]

JOHN MAYER and NORAH JONES (CD reviews)
On November 24, 2009 at 10:20 amJohn Mayer – “Battle Studies” *** ½ (out of 4) Norah Jones – “Fall” ** ½ (out of 4) What would coffee-houses do without John Mayer and Norah Jones? The laid-back syrupy vocals of both artists are as addictive as caffeine for some, and as inauthentic as a venti-soy-hazlenut-vanilla-cinnamon-white-mocha-with-extra-caramel for others. And let’s face it, [...]
The Torturous Top 40
On October 28, 2009 at 10:20 am
One man’s torture is another man’s iPod. This is nothing new. “The quickest way to a person’s brain is through his eye, but even in the movies the quickest way to his heart and feelings is still through his ear.” –Aaron Copland (New York Times, March 10, 1940) Music has its uses. Using annoying music [...]

On October 21, 2009 at 9:28 am
My kids were crushed. Their recent favorite band, Paramore, has its album whisked off the top of the charts. And for whom – Breaking Benjamin, Mariah, Alice in Chains? No, no and ah, no. Try Barbra Streisand. Yep, she may be as old as dirt, but Mrs. Focker managed to score the number one spot [...]
Guitar Hero – Time to Pull the Plug?
On September 14, 2009 at 2:30 am
As an aspiring guitarist myself, and owner of a six-string acoustic I regularly pluck to tunes such as post-grunge group Collective Soul’s “December,” I greeted the news of a coming addition to the Guitar Hero franchise with more than a spark of interest. Even though I don’t actually have GH5, or a Wii for that [...]
Are the Beatles Irrelevant?
On September 11, 2009 at 1:00 am
The Beatles were responsible for a tektonic shift in the way we view and play music. I think that’s a fair statement. I was faced with another fair statement this week – The Beatles are irrelevant. The words actually hit me in the head like a sack of bricks. As a bass guitarist, I count [...]

Brooke Hogan: FAIL! (VIDEO)
On August 14, 2009 at 1:14 pmYou have NEVER seen anyone want to be famous more than Brooke Hogan. Unfortunately for her, she is not good at anything she does. Her music album only sold 3,500 copies in the first week. That has to be a record or something. Here’s an idea (sit down everyone, this could shock some people who [...]
