Confessions of a Fanboy

‘Tis the season for mental retardation.
Twas the week of Black Friday and I went out

And then it hits me: it’s hopeless. Resistance if futile. I am powerless to resist.
I went to Satan Best Buy tonight to buy some new music. I planned on buying R.E.M.’s deluxe edition Murmur, Coldplay’s Prospekt’s March, and Scott Weiland’s Happy in Galoshes. I told myself I was not going to buy Guns [...]

Okay, I’ve streamed the first single to Guns ‘N’ Roses cultural phenomenon online. Let’s talk.
For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, it doesn’t begin to describe it to call Chinese Democracy the long awaited, much delayed follow up to GNR’s last album of original material. Anyway, Axl Rose’s [...]

Today’s working vacation is off to a good start.  I wrote and published my review of AC/DC’s No Bull DVD for BC Magazine and I’m getting ready to start writing my review David Gilmour Live in Gdansk.  A quick word on the AC/DC before we move on.  Even though the No Bull set didn’t light [...]

Best Buy is going to be the exclusive retailer for the official live souvenir of The Police’s (likely) final tour ever; one more nail in the coffin of consumer choice. This is one more step down the path of destruction as foretold in the Book of Revelations. Good. Let’s hit something hard and get it [...]

Where to begin, where to begin? I made the trek to Satan Best Buy and bought my copy of Buddy Guy’s Skin Deep. As much as I loathe that place I have to give them credit for this: they‘re treating Buddy’s new album like a major release. They got a few copies [...]
