  • DrumSTRONG 2008: A Smashing Success -- Thank You Scott and Mason!

    Three years ago, a friend of my family's teenage son was diagnosed with cancer, and was given fairly bleak chances of making it through the ordeal. It was a crushing blow to the family. For the full story, read the ESPN piece on Mason (he's the last story). Mason would go on to conquer the cancer inside his body, and has been cancer free for a couple of years now. Against all odds. And it was during this time that he reached out to one of my idols, Lance Armstrong...the 2 had a bit of dialogue...

  • A Couple Of New Music Recommendations: Mew, Muse, and Cold War Kids

    In my never ending quest to find new (indie rock) music, I've stumbled across a couple more troupes that I really dig, all of them via The Dive which comes on Fuse.tv at the most ungodly hour imaginable (usually around 3am Sunday mornings). By no means are any of them new...they've been making music for years, but only recently have they made it onto my daily playlists. They are: Cold War Kids : Good edgy sounds, slightly dancey and energetic. ' Hang me out to dry ' is the hit single...

  • For All The Massive Attack Fans Out There

    I'm sure there has to be a couple of Massive Attack fans who visit this site, and if you're not (or have never heard of them) it's never too late to give them a shot. They helped pioneer the trip hop movement which set the stage for many later bands to follow ( Portishead comes to mind, among many others). It's nice and dark, soothing, dubby , and just an all around bad ass style of music. A 5 hour mixed set of nonstop Massive Attack tunes has been making the playlist rounds over...

  • Digweed, The Cinematics, Seattle, Horses...It's Springtime!

    The weather is getting warmer, which can only mean one (of several) things: Lots of stuff to do in and around Charlotte! This coming Thursday (the 22nd) The Cinematics are playing at a local venue (they are kick arse...anyone in the area should definitely check them out, it's at Neighborhood Theatre over in NODA). In even better news, John Digweed is making a long overdue stop here in Cha-town over at The Forum on the 29th. I haven't been out to see any type of spinning talent since Zabiela stopped...

  • Save Internet Radio

    Streaming internet radio is in trouble . The basic premise is as follows: On Friday March 2nd, the U.S. government (specifically, the Copyright Royalty Board, or "CRB") announced its determination of the royalty rates Internet radio webcasters must pay the owners of sound recording copyrights to license the music they play for the years 2006-2010. The owners of these sound recording copyrights are, in the vast majority of cases, recording companies ("labels"). While successful webcasters which have...

  • Dave Navarro Has a Blog -- Incredible

    I feel like I'm always late to the party. For those of you taking notes, famed guitarist Dave Navarro has a blog . In case you were living in a cave in the 80's/90's (or have never heard of Jane's Addiction or Red Hot Chili Peppers), here's a brief bio . Like most other celebrity blogs I've come across, his is very down to earth and relaxed...just another person in the blogosphere. I like that...it just goes to show you that they're people like everyone else, plus I like his writing style. Plus,...
