It's February, the month where during which I usually get my first taste of spring fever thanks to things like baseball's spring training along with the occasional smattering of warmer, brighter days. Well, you know me-- any excuse is a good excuse...

What happened when Axl Rose rented my apartmentI came across that article this morning and it's a pretty good story, so I thought I'd share and it leads nicely into the core of this entry: a rundown and picspam of concerts I've been to in the time I was absent this year. This is sure to become a lengthy entry, so I'll hide it under the first pic ( Read more... )

Been on a Pack A.D. kick lately. I think of them as like Joan Jett meets White Stripes. I love this band from Vancouver.

This first song has been in my head all weekend. Enjoy.

Today's Bad Movie Night™ consisted of Disney's Black Hole and Alien in L.A. (we sadly watched the MST3K version - I'd rather make fun of it myself than watch ( Read more... )

Good news! Some of you might remember The Sausage Incident from late December. Well that little joke was going to cost me almost $2,000: $1,150 for my annual ER copay, $350 for the pathologist (I think that's what it's called, anyway) who had to come in and another $350 for the Southwest Michigan Emergency Service. I mentioned this to my friend, ( Read more... )

My good friend, howlin_wolf_66 recently posted an entry that put me on a serious Guns N' Roses binge. I set off watching all kinds of music videos and live performances and stumbled across this. This one's significant for a couple of reasons. As I understand it, it's the first time they "Civil War" on stage and the last time they performed with Steven Adler. ( Read more... )

Aaaah there's nothing better than getting your first taste of an upcoming new album from one of your favorite bands and finding out they still kick ass.
