  • The Filthy Critic is Dead, Matt Weatherford is Not

    It turns out the Filthy Critic is dead, but not his author, Matt Weatherford. As I mentioned earlier, last Monday a message was posted on Filthy’s website saying,”The Filthy Critic was killed in a bicycle collision late Thursday night. He died the way he lived–wobbling aimlessly in the slow lane.”I was afraid this meant Matt…

  • Filthy Critic DEAD?

    Please say this isn’t true. Today I checked out my favorite movie review site, the Filthy Critic, only to find this message.The Filthy Critic was killed in a bicycle collision late Thursday night. He died the way he lived–wobbling aimlessly in the slow lane.This could be Filthy’s sick way of ending the site and so…

  • Great Touring Thread

    Origivation’s message board has a great thread on how to put together tours on your own.If a bunch of 17 year olds can book their own tour, get in a van and drive, why can’t most of you? I do realize that some bands on here have done it, but the majority of you seem…

  • Indiefest 3

    I went to Indiefest Thursday night at Club Beyond to see Jason Wheatley. I haven’t been to too many places like Beyond recently (take their virtual tour to see what I mean), so it was a bit of culture shock. Kixx records invited a number of performers from different genres to come play two or…

  • Romance on a Budget

    I mentioned the Courier Post took a whole bunch of pictures at the open mic the other night. This morning I saw a copy of today’s paper at work. Flipping through it I noticed my friends Adam and Joanne made the cover of the South Jersey Scene section.Joanne Gault, 19, of Haddon Heights and Adam…

  • Phoenix Trap Mentioned on Lessig Blog

    Stanford University’s Lawrence Lessig mentioned The Phoenix Trap in his blog today in reference to MP3.com’s continued failure. I’ve certainly critized them in the past. Now they’re refusing to cooperate with an increasingly popular and innovative licensing movement called Creative Commons.I can?t describe how depressing this sort of stuff is. There are many in the…

  • Open Mic Recap @ The Tree House

    More performers came out tonight than any night since I started hosting the Tree House open mic. Seventeen different musicians, bands, and poets put on great performances for the Collingswood crowd. The Courier Post even stopped by and at the suggestion of my fiance, they took at least 30 pictures of my friends Adam and…

The Tree House open mic starts at 8:00PM and if you’d like to play/perform/recite then sign up here or in person. Remember, if you sign up online after 6:00PM, I probably won’t have you on my list.

  • Best Joke Ever

    “Yo momma smells so bad, she makes Speed Stick slow down.” In other news, area residents beware!

  • Bought 2 New CDs

    I recently picked up Radiohead’s “Hail to the Thief” and Pavement’s “Crooked Rain Crooked Rain.” Both are very good, but I think Hail to the Thief requires me to listen a few extra times before I get it. When I listen to it I can stop picturing Radiohead playing the music instead of just enjoying…

  • Any Jason Wheatley Fans?

    You know you’re out there. I just got a list of all his upcoming gigs and you should check him out. In fact, someone just emailed me today looking to get a hold of him. Read on for his press release.

  • Back Fine, Site Redesign Started

    I woke up today without most of the back pain I’ve been having lately. Good health is something I definitely take for granted, so a few pains now and then remind me I could be much worse off. I’m glad my pain was temporary. The funny thing is I have no idea what caused it.…

  • South Jersey Band on the Warped Tour

    My sister told me about these guys. Some of them went to my high school, so it’s nice to see them succeed. The next time you’re eating near a table of young men at a South Jersey diner, just think: You might be sitting next to an up-and-coming group of rock stars. That’s what regulars…

  • Soda, Polls, and Throwing My Back Out

    Thursday morning I woke up with some pretty bad back pain. I haven’t figured out whether its related to the open mic yet or not, but all I know is that I’d test off the charts for acetaminophen right now and I still have to walk funny. It looks like you guys like the new…
