Entertainment Weekly recently did a special 1,000th issue. In it, they picked the 100 New classics in Film, Televison and Music. More than one blogger went through the various lists and added their two cents. This is something I wanted to do, so I was inspired by Johnny Bacardi, who in turn was...
07/22/2008 09:05:06 ♥ written by vu ( ) Due to awaiting correspondences (music submissions), I've decided to leave out two bands: Kid Sister vs Kid Brother. There might be a follow-up article, since I also have The Felice Brothers and Swing Out Sister, to pit against. BROTHER AND SISTER...

When Radicalpatriot invited me to Japan Nite in San Francisco last March, the only band that really interested me was SCANDAL. And why not? AKB48 rocking out with guitars? How hot is that? SCANDAL was pretty cool, but what I didn't know was that I would leave the concert as a huge fan of another...
The first Gypsies claimed to be the Christian nobility of Egypt, who had abandoned their possessions in order to retain their faith when the Muslims gained power. They were believed for a good period. However, linguistic evidence strongly demonstrates that they actually originated in India, and...
I always enjoy tasting and reviewing a wine prior to the general public. So I have another. When Terry and I went to Muscedere’s open house a few weeks ago Rob told us about his new Chardonnay. We were waiting for some and since they ran out of bottled Pinot Noir(at the open house) we had a reason...
I've finally left Illinois. Silly me I thought Des Moines was on the Mississippi so I was overcome with joy to find myself crossing the river much sooner than expected. Iowa however is one nasty short and squat little state. I should warn you that Interstate 80 takes a turn at Des Moines so if you...
Current Tune (And the Band played Waltzing Matilda by The Pogues) Back on the 5.20 am train to Lichfield. Had to go home last night as I had forgotten anything that would allow me to pay for my hotel room or get cash…Doh. Also, I had forgotten to put enough food down for Nobs, well, he had food,...
In a recent comment, my friend the lovely Wendy (Itsalife.org), observed her own surprise at my music tastes vis a vis my personality. It got me thinking, as all good posts and comments should, and made me wonder about my own musical and personal journey to where I am now, the memories I have of...
I bought 8 Granny Smith's last Friday with the intention of making my Apple Crisp *swoon* for my little get together this past weekend. Unfortunately procrastination took over and I ran out of time so I didn't get to make it for my friends. Or maybe it was my subconscious subliminally forcing me not...

Condoms premature ejaculation Matthew could barely believe what he was witnessing. Arcutus was sweating profusely now, his perspiration coating her body as he railed against her, banging condoms premature ejaculation plunging.

So I originally did this for my family, in a weekly update. I was having a bad week and needed a list of things that make me happy to remind me that life isn't so bad. I sent out my list, and my family sent their's back, and we were all cheered up, even if it was just for a second. I have a feeling...
Back in the day, I made compilation VHS tapes of music videos airing on MTV's 120 Minutes (and later Alternative Nation). So before either hosts (Dave Kendall, Lewis Largent, or Matt Pinfield) would introduce the song, I pressed the record button, hoping the video or song would be a good one. I...
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a HUGE music geek. Since the time I was about 5, I was completely obsessed with music. The days of waiting all day, blank tape cued up, for that song to come on the air….(especially those “night versions” of Duran Duran tunes) holds a big place in my heart....
Friends. This one required absolutely no thought, considering the events of the past few weeks. But I'd like to discuss a specific group of friends through this post. I didn't pick my childhood friends. No, I really didn't. My parents chose them for my sister and me. You see, my parents immigrated...
I have never been a fan of such polls as if it was me the choices I would make could very much depend upon my mood at the time or be biased towards music I had been listening to at the time. However, even making allowances for this I must, guven some of the results below, be well adrift from the...
We went back to ancient times last weekend when we visited a Renaissance Fair taking place in Ishpeming. And we learned something: There were samurai during the Renaissance. The event is the Ishpeming Art Faire & Renaissance Festival (held along with a gem and mineral show; the area has a long...
