Top Music of 2009

It's time for my top albums of 2009. I didn't have a whole lot of time to listen to full albums this year, so my second half of this post will be dedicated to singles I like. It's not how I would prefer to listen to music but hey, it's an iTunes world and we're all just living in...

Quick Thoughts on SB.43

Great game. I was a little sad that the Cards lost, but really I was rooting for a good game more than anything and that's what I got. Some thoughts: Warner was mostly great. Clearly outplayed Roethlisberger, but was done in by a myriad of penalties and his offensive line. (Hi, Mike Gandy!) When...

The Super Bowl and The Boss

Last year around this time I gave some predictions on what Tom Petty might perform at halftime of the Super Bowl. This year, Bruce Springsteen is playing and I have to say -- I don't get it. Sure, I think he's a perfectly fine choice and understand why he was picked, and I appreciate his musical...

Top Albums of 2008

This might be a few days late but who's counting? Here's my top albums for 2008. Rather than rank everything and do a simple "top ten", I'm just going to throw a bunch of albums into three bins. Also, I'm going to list these alphabetically because sometimes I want Fuji Apples...

Review: 'Death Magnetic', Metallica

Perry said I could write whatever the hell I want on this site so long as I write at least one post a week and I don't say anything that might get him sued. So I figured with the modest success of my Lollapalooza review, I might as well whip out the occasional musing on the music I'm listening...

Lollapalooza 2008 Review

This past weekend, I went to the massive Lollapalooza festival in Grant Park. Three long days and dozens of bands later, I am completely and utterly wiped out. No matter, it was a great time. What follows is a recap of my virtually sports-free experience. Before I went to the show, I went over the schedule...

Stuff I Like: Podcasts

I love my iPod. I held out for the longest time in getting one. I used to be an "early adopter" with new technology, but that sort of fell by the wayside as I moved into my late 20s. This also coincides with the time that iPods started taking off. When they came out, I thought they were kind...

Super Predictions

The 42nd edition of the Big Game is Sunday, and I'm going to state right now that this game is a win-win for me. My reasoning is simple. If the Patriots win, they'll shut up the New York Giants -- a team I despise. They'll also shut up the '72 Dolphins -- a team that I'm sick of....
