First thing I learned is - the Army has a long name for everything, so they end up shortening them with nicknames or acronyms. Most of them are vulgar, but that's the military. Mikey is going to spit some at you, so here's a little list for your reference. Enjoy! Official acronyms and initialisms AA...
What are the 10 most memorable music performances you've seen? Submitted by Bill. Ten? Are you kidding me? Here's 16 (in chronological order): Billy Joel (8/12/90 - Riverfront Coliseum/Cincinnati, OH) - This was my first concert ever. I went with my parents, two sets of aunts and uncles, and my...
Last time I shared with you all songs that mention hips, because I have a thing for hips. As an aspiring fiction writer, I also have a thing for writers, writing, and well, books. So here I share my playlist called 'I Write the Book.' I am sure I missed a ton, so don't hesitate to tell me so. Hey...
I remember sneaking out the back door in high school after my parents fell asleep. Memorizing the pattern of creaks in the stairs, minimizing the screeching of the door, and slipping out into the night. Wednesday was a little different. Grabbed pants. Grabbed a sweatshirt. Grabbed the keys. Left a...
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...
Since I have had a lack of updates as of late, I thought I would do a little housekeeping. First, does anyone know how to back your blog up? If so, I am definitely unaware. And, I'm worried that one day I'm going to lose everything in a crash of the world wide interwebs. Second, I'm considering...
(Editors Note: I started writing this post and got about halfway finished before I remembered that Jodi had done something awfully, awfully similar a few months ago. On the bright side, she came to all the wrong conclusions, so let's just call this imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and...
i fell in love with Steveo in the rain at Merriweather Post and i asked him to marry me at Prospect Park's Steady show. i think together we have seen hundreds when we drink, we all fall in love.... Summer 2008 (to be continuously updated, revised, and revisited): June 2 & 3 - Rilo Kiley; Terminal 5,...
I'm testing out the new Blog It iPhone web app--I have nothing much to occupy me on my 90 minute bus commute, so I might as well post blog updates that I never seem to have time for otherwise. Lately, I've noticed a distinct slowdown in my music acquisitions this year--I think I've only bought three...
Well over a year ago, Akajen wrote a post about musical influences. She posed this question: "What saved you from a life of musical ignorance?," and it sparked a 33-comment discussion that, frankly, I'd revisit every day of my life if I could. There's a lot of talk among my fellow music geeks about...
We here at Bittersweetheart have lost yet another challenge to Hotrod. In the rules it is clearly stated that we will list his many virtues. So here we go, in poetic form: He is sickened by the 'mats being forgotten Marine biology, to which he took a cotton Elton John's Candle in the Wind is one of...
So, not only do I have to shell out $190 to see three great days of music (and make decisions about Bloc Party vs. The Raconteurs vs. Stephen Malkmus on Friday, Broken Social Scene vs. Battles, Wilco vs. Rage on Saturday, and NIN vs. Kanye on Sunday-although 'Ye will probably get on at 4:30 a.m....
I've always found it somewhat ironic that for the past 40 years, the only major sporting event broadcast over America's airwaves on the July 4th holiday is the goings on at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. But when else would Americans get up at 6am on a Sunday morning to dine on...
Quote of the week: "Hey, you guys want to hear a great way to see the bottom of your testicles?" -- Overheard at Tobias' 2nd grade lunch table which is, needless to say, all boys. Lovdy and Mark have been busy: [Cue the "Eight is Enough" opening theme] The Grossmans are expecting again. It's weird....
Wow. You read. You discussed. You reacted (some more strongly than others -- yes, I'm talking to you Alan). Thanks for all the E-mails. I'm a bit surprised that no one commented on the video. I guess it's "hilarious" in a late 90s viral video kind of way. I guess I'll always be a sucker for bloopers...
am I the only person who has not the least interest in these groups... are we being pummelled by them?, I can't turn a corner without the haggard smokey face of Weller looking down at me... his new album is meant to be experimental,,, if only it was the 'mental' in 'experiment' I may have some...
So Lollapaloolza is quickly approaching and even though its still 2 months away this highly anticipated concert fest sells quick and hotels go quicker. Starting August 1-3 in Grant Park Chicago this musical, cultural community experience is a one of a kind sensory blowing must see adventure. Grant...
I've been incredibly busy, and I've not listened to anything that's bowled me over in awhile. One thing I have time for are the Moldy Peaches, and more specifically, Kimya Dawson. To be honest, the Juno Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is responsible for this new found indulgence. Simple,...
I hadn't been to a really terrible bar in awhile, but it's bachelorette party season! Eliza whole-heartedly wanted to go the cheesy route, fake veil and all, so we found ourselves at a bar that I will not mention b/c I don't want to ruin my street cred or nothin'. Anyway, I still had a great time...
