It seems like it’s been forever since I started touting Spotify as THE spot to hear music online. It’s like an on demand version of Pandora and Last FM. You can find practically any song you want to there by virtually every artist or group imaginable. And finally, it’s available in America. Click here to [...]

Celluloid Rock Stars
Posted in Ask the Audience, Movies, Music on June 20, 2011 | 7 Comments »
Everyone knows how much I love music. A close second on that list is my love for movies. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that whenever some rock band graces the silver (or flat) screen with even twenty seconds of their onstage act, the collision of these two elements from my pop culture [...]
No Ukes (For Me)

A few weeks ago, Robin and Lindsey were talking about Eddie Vedder’s Ukulele Music while they gave my woefully underworked leg and arm muscles their weekly once-over. They went on and on about the music so much that the first I did when I got home — after a quick visit to the toilet — [...]
Idol Chatter

My intention going into to Season 10 of American Idol was to catch an episode or two just to see what it would be like without Simon at the judges table and then move on to some other program deserving the attention of my eyeballs. This past season was very forgettable — who the heck [...]
The Playlist Made Me Do It

Some posts that find their way to your eyes have been germinating in my mind for minutes hours days weeks fortnights months years before they finally break through the crazy clutter of my thought process and actualize themselves as words on your screen of choice. And then there are those posts that just seem to [...]
The Best of the Most

Lying in bed yesterday morning, wide awake and waiting for Fehmeen to get caffeinated enough to deal with my typical morning routine, my thoughts turned towards my music collection, specifically to the groups and artists who I have at least three or more cds of and if I was forced to choose just one of [...]

Back when I was a wee lad of eleven, my dad dragged me up to Drum World in San Francisco to attend a drum clinic put on by legendary drummer Louie Bellson. The joint was jam-packed with percussionists so much so that people were sitting on the floor. I remember being seated next to a [...]
Great SCOTS

Southern Culture on the Skids is the coolest band you’ve never heard of. I discovered them by accident when I purchased some compilation CD from (of all places) Hot Topic. It was love at first listen. I even went to see them in San Francisco several years back. Not only are their tunes catchy and [...]

Watching Sesame Street with Emma this morning, we saw this video. Hope you like it as much as we did. Hey Kim M, had you seen that before?

If I could have fifteen minutes of my pre-ALS life back, what would I do? Perhaps a game of catch with my dad. Or maybe keeping score with my mom at a Giants game. Or a lively conversation with Fehmeen over a warm-bread salad at Jardiniere would be the ticket. As tempting as those options [...]
