So here we are Sunday night, and MOG is back up and running. Almost a whole day without our beloved MOG, and you are still trying to say you are not addicted. I have a feeling many of you have been spending a better part of your day staring at a little hamster by the name of Schloopy. I can say for myself that I had tried numerous times to get on, and was disappointed everytime I was denied. I ...

I saw the Buzzcocks 3 or 4 times in the late 70's and then last Friday when they played cover-to-cover performances of March 1978 debut "Another Music in a Different Kitchen" and that year's September follow-up "Love Bites." Both albums, along with 1979's "A Different Kind of Tension," where reissued in the UK as two-disc editions with bonus tracks, demos and live cuts in 2008..The tour, which ...

So here's the deal. A few years back I wrote a novel entitled Long Way Back. It's the story of a guy who has a profound religious experience as a child and a profound tragedy as an adult, and how punk rock helps bring him back to life again. The ending of this book is the best thing I've ever written, and I'm really proud of the whole thing. It's a quick, easy read, and, I think, fun and upli...

I've fielded a number of notes in the last couple of days from friends, well-wishers and regular readers expressing their concern about the last couple of posts on my weblog (to say nothing of the overall tone of my entries for the last six months). Let me assure you all, I'm absolutely fine. Sure, I'm down in the mouth about my current circumstances, but fret not. I'm bloodied but unbowed. Mor...

I always have mixed feelings when I hear a commercial using a song by one of my old favorite artists. On the one hand, I get the smug, superior "I knew this song before it was cool and before it was ever used for marketing" feeling; but on the other hand, I also get the sick, depressed "Oh god, this great song is being used to sell [whatever]" feeling. (Sometimes the choices are just laughabl...

Sad but true, my friends. The Buzzcocks, known in their prime for their brash youthfulness, are now own a retirement ad. The spot features "Everybody's Happy Nowadays." What does that tell us? You tell me.
