Music mogul Pete Waterman has managed some stellar acts in the past. Kylie Minogue and Rick Astley to name just a couple. He knows music. Before X-Factor was even called X-Factor , it was called Pop Idol , and lo and behold, Pete was a judge on the show. Sure, he walked out when he claimed it was not "about the music" anymore, but he makes a good point. In the fabulous rag trash that is The...

I am not saying that Charlie and Wandering Coyote have nothing to say. No no, they are always the epitome of pithy wisdom. And sometimes they are torch...

Thanks so much to Simon from Sweeping The Nation for reminding me how good 'All Men Are Liars' by Nick Lowe is; I just love that wonderful, Andy Partridge-esque descending line in the chorus. And the lyrics elsewhere, of course: "Well do you remember Rick Astley? He had a big fat hit, it was ghastly. He said i'm never gonna give-a you up or let you down. Well, i'm here to tell you that dick's...

I can't say that Boyzone ever factored into my music collection, but I'm sad to hear of Stephen Gately passing away at the all-too-young age of 33. When I first moved to L.A. in 1999, Stephen Gately came out a month later. I used to buy Smash Hits on import at the Virgin Megastore on Sunset Blvd., and it was the tail-end days of Boyzone. Everyone was all atwitter over his relationship at the time with...

So I recently had a request from some IRC patrons to write up a certain type of ... adventure involving the recently released emergent puzzler Scribblenauts. As I'm trying to build my writing skills, I've decided to take it on. I promise that there will be no slash or anything too weird, but it will be a little suggestive. Bearing down on him faster, the Behemoth was most obviously out for blood. That's...
