Thursday night's party for Instinct Magazine's Leading Men Of 2009 issue was a blast . Editor Mike Wood and publisher JR Pratts were genial hosts, the open bar flowed copiously and the room swelled with bold face names, much to the delight of my loyal companions Dr. Jeff and Father Tony. Jeff intro'd me to some Project Runway dude (Velvet') and Tony positively squealed when Amanda Lepore arrived on...

British 80s power pop lives! You can easily be mistaken into believing that The Rifles' "Great Escape" is some arcane reissue from 1987. Yet this band has only been around for about three years; they have absorbed far more choice rock cuts than their years would suggest. Herein are gleefully sharp riffs and slightly snotty vocals that imply that the band secretly wants to save the world...

White Mice give the people what they want/what they want to give regardless of the people: collages of noise, found speeches and dank, greasy vibes that force you to redefine the word "enjoyable" while listening. As a result, "Ganjahovajdose" will be seen, depending on your constitution, another glorious peek into a band's astute psychosis, or a reason to leave the room and run...

Both Barry and Mike will be displaying a range of exclusive wood turned items created within Lincolnshire. Each piece is unique and totally hand crafted which is what makes it so special. I purchased a really well-made Charm Stand from Barry Windsor at the last...

Welcome to Green Bay, where EVERYBODY gets sacked! Allegedly, coach Mike McCarthy and Lambeau maintenance employee Mike Wood got into a massive brawl that spilled out into the streets and engulfed two square blocks in their flames of rage. Nah, just kidding. Wood said to McCarthy, "Don't lay an egg." At least, McCarthy thinks that's what he said. Regardless, McCarthy asked Wood's supervisor...

The part-time maintenance worker who was fired by the Green Bay Packers, apparently for an offhand comment he directed to Head Coach Mike McCarthy just days before the Packers-Minnesota Vikings game, said Friday that he still loved the franchise. "I love the Packers," said Mike Wood. "I love coach. But this has been the day from hell." Wood was reacting to the media firestorm that...

Mike Wood, a maintenance worker for the Green Bay Packers for more than 20 years, likely didn't think he would see his employment come to an end for, of all things, words of encouragement. But that's what has landed him among the vast ranks of the unemployed. Days before prodigal quarterback Brett Favre returned to Lambeau two weeks ago, Wood spotted Packers head coach Mike McCarthy talking with the...

Boomers self-mythologizing has become literally a new industry. Have you seen the commercial where the guy says "in the 60s, I was all about freedom. In my 60s, why stop now?" Of course, this and most such comparisons seem to omit boomers' ultra-materialistic 20s-50s. but hey, what's 40 years among rebels? Anyway, while "Good Time Music for Hard Times" is, on the surface, another...

Loved by blues fans since his 80s debut, Jeff Healy was a pop culture anomaly. He was a blind musician and not very video friendly; he was an ace guitarist who shredded with his instrument resting in his lap-not the cool pose of a typical guitar hero. Still, Healy's passion, smoky vocals and obvious guitar chops helped him settle in as a less talented, less aggressive, but more approachable Stevie...
