It has been a while since I have really gotten excited for a record release. In fact when I was asked to make a list of my favorite records of 2008, I put Against Me! at the top of that list even though New Wave came out in 2007. I don't know if I have become more selective in my old age, but it seems there has not been an album this year to really grab my ear to make me listen. I was excited f...

He was last seen coming home today from work, and after that his where abouts remain a mystery. He was last seen wearing a tee-shirt, grey shorts and tan flip flops. Rawkkiddoh is 5'10", has brown hair, brown eyes and seems to be drawn to any sort of store that sells music. Here is a ...

A lot of things have been put on the shelf as of late, and heading out to see live music seems to have really taken a hit. Tonight Alkaline Trio was playing a free show, a fr...

Sorry, this is a slight deviation from the norm for me and the dance/electro scene but I feel like I should mention it. For anyone that knows me well enough, I am and have been a big fan of Alkaline Trio for about 8/9 years now. I have to admit to preferring their older releases [...]
