I'm not sure why I'm so riled up about the situation with the Conan/Jay Tonight Show situation. I just feel really sorry for Conan. He is totally getting screwed by NBC and Jay Leno. NBC didn't give Conan any chance at all to be successful. Financially, the Jay Leno Show ...

Thank goodness for Guitar Hero World Tour. Ever since I got that game, my son's interest in songs with subjects about fruit salad, cold spaghetti, etc. has certainly waned. Barney beget The Wiggles beget Imagination Movers beget The White Stripes. Long car rides are now tolerable, however, making sure my ...

The date in the title of the post is correct. I didn't get the year wrong.
Thirteen months ago, I saw King's X and Extreme at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore. I just found this draft post with just the setlists from the evening that I meant to expand upon, but ...

Way back in August 2008, I wrote about a new show called Better Off Ted. It finally premiered about a month or so ago. Before it premiered, ABC was showing commercials for it non-stop. The commercials reminded me a bit of Scrubs, which I found interesting, since they are paired ...

Apparently, I'm not supposed to watch TV this week. It's National Turn Off Week. I came home from work on Monday and my wife told me about it. I had literally just come through the door. I think if I had taken a drink of water when my wife told ...

Nine Inch Nails and a reunited Jane's Addiction are touring this summer. The name of the tour is cleverly titled NIN|JA 2009.
Trent Reznor was so generous selling Ghosts for $5 and giving away The Slip for free. He (and Jane's Addiction) is graciously continuing his genorosity by giving away a ...

If I were to describe my favorite kind of music, I would always say that Van Halen is my favorite kind of music. But, aren't they a band that plays music? Are they a kind of music? For me, Van Halen is and they are a genre unto themselves.
