By now you've heard the news about . . .

Song in my head:
"Home" by Leona Naess

I had chicken and dumplings for (what I believe to be was) the first time last night. It was very good but I'll eat almost anything chicken-related. However, something doesn't sound right mixing food with the word "dump."

Blogcritics has a funny "review" of the new U2 record, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Granted, I haven't heard the new record and have only heard a little of "Vertigo," but this generic review is pretty right-on.

I'm sure you've heard the news about those Viagra ads. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I had seen these several times.

There isn't much content on this site but I think it's hilarious.

Baadassss! is coming my way this week thanks to Netflix. I'm excited about seeing it. To make things even more interesting, TK Carter (best known from Punky Brewster) plays the role of Bill Cosby.

I liked T.K. Carter as Iceman in "Ski Patrol."

I haven't heard the U2 album either, and though I am a long time fan I have to say "Vertigo" is a huge dissappointment. My friends and I have been joking that U2 "vert- GO back in the studio and make something better". I guess I'll probably still buy it or stream it, but so far off to a bad start....

On a more positive note I have listened to 2 streams of Wilco this week....Live from the Fillmore, which their site says they will be archiving soon, which included "Don't Fear the Reaper" and also I am right this second listening to them play "Hell Is Chrome" on Morning Becomes Eclectic. I just happened to be lucky.

Go Where You Wanna Go

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Catherine Wheel

Originally posted: Tuesday, August 29th, 2006 Despite managing to release five proper albums, Catherine Wheel was one of those bands that always seemed to slip past the mainstream rock crowd. Yes, they got some nice airplay in their day, but people seem to have forgotten about them. You may hear “Black Metallic” or “Waydown” on a “classic alternative” show on Sirius or XM or maybe even on terrestrial radio, but that’s about it. For me, they were one of most consistent rock bands of the ’90s, meandering through shoegazer, hard rock, space rock and pop rock, all while eluding mainstream pigeonholing. Led by the smooth, warm pipes of vocalist/guitarist Rob Dickinson (cousin of Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson), Catherine Wheel featured Brian Futter on lead guitar, Dave Hawes on bass and Neil Sims on drums. 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...
