If you've been hanging around here long enough you probably realize that I rarely, if ever, get excited for modern rap or hip hop. Hopefully that makes my endorsement of Mike Skinner's latest album, Everything Is Borrowed (amazon) (itunes), even more meaningful. Seriously, this album is quite amazing. Mike's trademark Brit vocals slide through rhymes not yet dreamed up by most of his contemp...

What was supposed to be a nice relaxing day off for me turned into a home project day of sorts. I was not happy, but in the end I got a lot of things completed. Never have put new caulk in a shower, but I did so today. Inbtween my runs to Home Depot, I stopped at Best Buy with a coffee to look around. Secretly I was hoping they had the new Guitar Hero set up, I was disappointed when I saw they sti

So... this is _+NOT+_ my official vacation post... this is a quick realization that I thought would be fun to discuss with all you kiddies ;)Whilst trekking all over London last week, I found myself wanting to listen to anything with a *HARD* beat... I loves me some mellow tunes, there little I don't enjoy listening to, but on the Tube, all I wanted was Britpop, grime, techno, dance, trance... ...

You never know if the Streets' aka Mike Skinner is messing with you or just taking some major BS out of his arse. Skinner was suppose to WALK to France from the UK, but due to scheduling conflicts didn't at the last moment. Now, Skinnner might be pulling our leg again about his fifth album being his last, despite the fact that the fourth, Everything Is Borrowed, still hasn't even dropped. Skinner

I don't think I ever appreciated the music loving side of my dad when I was growing up. I guess I was like most kids, thinking that by default anything my parents listened to COULD IN NO WAY be good.But now that it has been almost ten years since my dad passed away, i realize that I owe a large portion of my love for music to him. Dad was an Elvis man for sure. The king was his king. He loved B...

Mike Skinner found £100 in his pocket and decided to announce via his Twitter account that anyone who met him on the bridge in London at midday would receive the money. Whoever turned up had to say the words 'Messi messed up the Reds' in reference to last nights Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona, and then Skinner would allegedly hand over the money.

Flashback to the early 80's with me if you will. To one of the many 'Griswald-like' vacations my family took. Imagine four boys a dog, and way too much luggage all crammed into one of those awesome old station wagons with the sweet wood paneling on the side. Every summer we'd set sail for some tourist trap of my dad's choosing. Disneyworld in Orlando. The Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. And the...
