Salutations from our as-yet-unnamed band. Here we are jamming. Pretty cool, eh? We’re just getting started on material for our VH-1 Behind the Music special. I don’t think we’ve even decided yet which one of us will become chemically dependent and get thrown out of the band, hit bottom, get through rehab on the third […]

Currently trying out a new on-line music subscription service: Rhapsody – which I picked up at www.listen.com. There’s a free 7-day trial available and two different plans – one is $2.95/mo and the other is $9.95/mo. For the pricier plan you get unlimited play-on-demand access to a fairly large catalogue of music as well as […]
So, I’m becoming concerned by the amount of country music I’ve been listening to lately. Seems like everytime I load up the mp3 player for my bus ride it’s full of Terri Clark and Faith Hill and Alison Krauss and Kelly Willis. Not that country music is a bad thing. It’s just that I used […]

Children in Need: Facts About Pudsey Bear Actually, what children really need are facts about why adults feel compelled to talk trash about the trials of Pudsey (Pudsey!)

Just when you thought there would be no pictures posted from this weekend…hah! This is actually a photo taken in one of our favorite diners: the Golden Nugget. At the Golden Nugget the menu is split between kitchy gambling-theme food items (my favorite breakfast choice is the Dealer’s Special) and an entire section of Huevos […]
A lovely weekend spent with Rob, Courtney, and Tejal. Testing out new places in the never-ending search for Our Favorite Place. A few highlights: We tried the Holiday Club. Er, no. Definitely no. Let’s see…the Cosmos were like watered down purple water. The bar was so dimly lit that we could barely see our food. […]
