ITEOTWAWKI: I’m a Sucker
I didn’t intend on rushing out to buy the new live R.E.M. CD/DVD. I wasn’t impressed by the track listing and really didn’t know when I would sit down and watch the DVD. That’s why I bought it the day…
Kid Nation Rules
I didn’t think I would feel this way, but “Kid Nation” has become one of my favorite TV appointments each week. That goes double for this week’s episode when the kids rebel against the leaders and hold elections for each…
The Dan Band is Coming

Great Beer News
Sorry for the lack of updates. I took a brief trip to Vegas. I’ll post more about it in a few days. But while I was gone, a wonderful thing happened in the Pennsylvania Legislature. A Senate committee cleared the…
ITEOTWAIKI: Automatic
Fifteen years ago tomorrow, the history of R.E.M. took a major turn. “Automatic for the People” was released. The band’s eighth album and the followup to the hugely successful “Out of Time,” Automatic is probably one of the most acclaimed…
