Confessions of a Fanboy

Thank God for R.E.M.  I have been trying to come up with something to write about all day long and the mind has just not been willing, people.  I’ve got work to do and nothing left to say… for the moment.  I did go on a shopping spree this weekend and that should be discussed [...]

I’ve always liked that bit in the Foo Fighters’ song “All My Life” where Dave Grohl screams “On to the next one.”  I tend to be that way too much with my musical listening.  I’ll obsess over an album or a song or an artist and then I’ll either lose interest or be drawn to [...]

After watching No Bull on DVD, I looked at my CD towers and realized there are only two AC/DC albums in my library: Back In Black and the 2-CD Live, which is the closest thing to a career-spanning retrospective in their catalog.

I want pepper in my coffee every night.  “Circus Envy,” boys and girls!  This is a strong set, but unfortunately “She Just Wants To Be” is still part of it.  One loyal reader has told me this one is better live than I might think and that may be, but it’s still not a real [...]

Look out, boys and girls, they’ve found one they like. This is funny. Starting with “At My Most Beautiful,” R.E.M. found a song they hadn’t played all tour and then played it multiple nights in a row. We can now add to that “Just A Touch,” “I Took Your Name,” and “She Just Wants To [...]

Tonight’s B-Sides Concept Album program is being cancelled owing to exhaustion from events of yesterday.  My apologies.  There are many things I look forward to discussing with you all in the coming weeks.

After a tough day yesterday, I went wandering the streets trying to busy my mind.  It was risky going in to Satan Best Buy.  Surely they had a copy of the Best Buy Exclusive package of David Gilmour’s Live in Gdansk.  It’s a Best Buy Exclusive.  Of course they’d have it in stock by Wednesday, [...]

I guess I’m having a maudlin moment today.  It’s well-earned, if you ask me.  It just so happens we had a little sadness enter our lives yesterday, at the same time I’ve been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd and David Gilmour.
Today’s song of the day is “Wish You Were Here.”  Most of the [...]

I have a lot of topics out there I need to get to around here and I just haven’t had the time to explore them all in the depth and at the speed with which I’d like.  I want to continue re-visiting Tom Petty’s Echo.  I also want to continue with the Pink Floyd discussion [...]
