I was on your side Bill . . .

Song in my head:
"Wedding Bell Blues" by the Fifth Dimension

Three cheers for Kev! The mix of honey and tea has taken away the scratchy throat for the time being.

One of my favorite documentaries, Hype!, is now available on DVD. It's a great look at what the early 1990s Seattle music scene was but it's been kinda hard to find in stores for the last few years. I wonder if there is any bonus material on the DVD . . . .

Ever wonder whatever happened to Daniel Johns of Silverchair? Click here.

They weren’t a pretty-boy guitar band, but they weren’t a scuzzy bunch of ragamuffins either. Though the band hailed from England, Catherine Wheel found itself more welcome on American air...
