Not to long ago this headline appeared in my local news paper."Formerly Pork Chop, the mascot's new name is Ferrous":http://www.mcall.com/news/local/all-a1_5porkchopbox.6167205dec04,0,6269719.storyThe Ironpigs are a local farm league based in the Lehigh valley.

I cut my concertgoing teeth at First Avenue in Minneapolis, from 82-90. A lot of my favorite bands were established in that place and my top 10 shows of all time are almost all from 1rst Ave. I heard there was a huge storm in the twin cities this week and that reminded me of a Fishbone show I caught, on a Sunday night, in the winter of '86.I was thinking of not going to the show because of a co...

One of my favorite Christmas stories revolves around the time I had to do a late night shift at "WMUH":http://www.muhlenberg.edu/cultural/wmuh/ .As a DJ we had to cover our own shows or find a replacement to do them for us, and one year nobody was going to take my 2am to 6am Christmas Day slot. The night started like any other show night, I had my smokes a gallon of wine and 2 crates to go thro...

No joke, that's Bethlehem, Pennsylvania's tagline.This time of year the downtown area is nuts with shoppers and parties. Who would have thought that those austere Moravians would tap into the biggest seasonal shopping spree of the year just by naming my hometown Bethlehem. That's the economic view but there is another view that gets mentioned less by the tourists (yeah, tourist. People actually...

...I spoke on this band the other day and it reminded me of a post I'd thought of a while back but never punched up, so, I'll remedy that right now with a little funk rock action...check this Fishbone LP that dropped right around the time I'd moved from Atlanta to LA...the Bone, however, were going in the other direction as the went to Atlanta to work with the producer Dallas Austin on their LP...

While trying to decide what to write about tonite, I was thinking about my past. Dig this then get back to me.If I was going to identify with anyone in that skit, it would be the professor (Yes that's Tom Kenny, the voice of Spongebob Squarepants).Hindsight being 20/20, I love my past. Really it was the friends who made those memories great. Case in point. I was at a bar in Allentown with 2 bud...

Right now my MacBook has turned on me, well kinda sorta. The other day my "y" key on my Mac burnt out. mind you, I'd been warned by my girlfriend to NEVER use a lot of water when washing it and I never have, so when I hit her up with my grousing...

...like a Fishbone, it is I tells ya..and I think that group's ska tune "Love and Bullshit" speaks to what I'm about to lay on you...but, still, I think this hard-edged cover of Parliament Funkadelic's classic is more apropos...it captures what I felt on the day I did what I did..."so what the fuck did you do this time, boyo?", you ask? Well, not to get all "Linus-and-his-security-blanket" o...

...As a college freshman I began to gravitate away from the hip hop sounds that were quickly attaining the regular-old-crackers taste – give or take acts like Public Enemy and X-Clan. At the same time the standard issue R&B fare was going through a super-saccharine stage of pop overkill unlike anything I’d witnessed before – something like now, touché Hegel. It appeared that my only repriev

Hey Mog, what's new? You lookin' California but feelin' Minnesota like yours truly? Well here's some attitude adjustment to stir into your coffee...it's the first jam I ever heard Fishbone play live...they were as tight on stage as they were on record which made it easy to see why (in their original configuration) they were called the baddest live band in the world... I'm just glad "*I got to s...
