I heard the season like the 10-year-old I was, gravitating toward my generation’s answer to the Jonas Brothers or Hannah Montana—the Partridge Family and Dawn. But while [...]

I can’t live If living is without you I can’t live I can’t give anymore I can’t live If living is without you I can’t live I can’t give anymore Almost anytime somebody from my generation—I was born in 1960—or from around my generation gets all sad the topic of Badfinger usually comes up. But it occurred to me that the youngs probably never heard of Badfinger...

Welcome to this weekend's $100 Lottery Project! I'm feeling feisty as ever right now, and thought I'd spice things up a bit by doing something ridiculously stupid. But also fun, exciting, silly, and rewarding all mixed into one. As many of you know, I am a hardcore fan of scratch off lottery tickets. Not only do they pump me full of endorphins, but those lovely pieces of metallic paper allow me to...

Having a lovely discussion in the car on the way to play board games in Hemel Hempstead last night, my pal Richard and myself got to discussing gigs from the past. There was a little bit of stag-like 'facing off' in terms of 'coolest gig' etc, but in general we were good natured and I was not forced to yank the steering wheel from his hands and drive us into the hedge in frustration and/or jealousy....

David Mason: A Bouldering Life. (Free subscription) | 11/06/2009
This place is magical, it has a similar feeling to Fontainbleau. Limestone escarpments peak (no pun intended) out between the trees and moss coversed boulders lie forgotten about in the depths of the forests. Not many people come here solely to boulder and I can see why, you really do need someone in the know how to show you around. Feurzange. 8a+ Luckily we did, Fabian, Mona and Seb made us feel right...

NEW YORK (Reuters) –A major new photography exhibit is built around the idea that the eyes are just as important as the ears for appreciating and understanding rock 'n' roll.

Nearly 200 photographs,

The song that would not leave my head this morning: And the most Beatle-esque thing about that Beatle-wanna-be band performing that very Beatle-like song, in my opinion: the use of the word "Sonny." Something just screams Beatles about that.

I was all prepared to get the attic sorted out today as yesterday I went up to the garage and sorted out stuff. Found some lovely pictures up there from when the children were small. That little thought disappeared in a puff of smoke when Kieran started to say how sad he felt about going to school. I am totally fed up with going to the school and asking them to support Kieran and protect him from the...

Weezer has learned the lesson of many great bands before it: If you want an eye-grabbing album cover, include an animal, preferably in an incongruous setting.
