I recently worked a deal that netted me a tweed Fender Bandmaster. The model designation for this amp is 5E7, which is the classic narrow panel 3×10 bandmaster produced form 1955 to 1960. These are cool amps. The three ten-inch speakers is interesting, and sounds punchy. Of course it is all tube with 5881 power tubes [...]

Which tv newsman seems a little too genetically linked to a tv pitchman?

Only his hairdresser knows for sure.

Sometimes when I’m rubbing puppy’s belly, I like to coo in her ears and tell her that she’s the cutest pup in the whole land.
But I also use that opportunity to remind her that she should really develop some extra tricks and/or skills because pretty soon, she’s gonna grow up and she won’t be as [...]

I read an ad on Craigslist for a vintage Ludwig drum kit that need some work. The photos posted were small and blurry, so it was a pretty tough to see what was actually being offered. Even though the images were poor, I could tell there was a chrome snare drum, and it looked to [...]

OK.
Guy Fieddy (if it is spelled any other way, it is unforgivable making people pronounce it as such).
When I can’t sleep I find his ‘Diners, Drive-ins and Dives’ is on incessantly when most mere mortals are asleep and therefore safe from his tour of bacon grease, beef fat and lard.
I have no problem with the [...]

What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong with these people?
These kids don’t seem to be remotely excited by the fact that they have R2D2 at their muthafriggin shindig!
Better yet: R2D2 is sporting a tux. He’s like the James Bond of droids, people. Can’t you muster anything? The rest of your life is only [...]

Before we get into our list, we provide this UTube Clip for a trailer for “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” only edited to resemble Brokeback Mountain. Sometimes, when taking a break from all the porn, I realize that the interent is a great place for all the lonely, bored and idle hands of the world. Thanks [...]

If you set a movie in South Boston, can it be made if there are no characters named either ‘Paulie,’ ‘Jimmy’ or ‘Doyle’?

Take a minute to watch someone else’s smooth moves. Then teach everyone at your office how to do the Backwards Swim. We hear it was all the rage.
This is one first class top drawer music videography.

I was anticipating a UNC victory, but I was also expecting an actual basketball game. What I got was a the opportunity to watch UNC humiliate my Michigan State Spartans at Ford Field. I know, in D-town no less. The Lions can’t win a game here, why should the Spartans fair any better? In the [...]

Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan got word that he was fired at 7:30am Thanksgiving morning outside the arena as he and his wife were handing out turkeys as part of an outreach program. Do you think someone just came over to him and said, “You know what Eddie? I think you might just be in [...]
