It’s not every day that your favorite band reunites. The Pixies broke up ten years ago, but after gaining new fans for years they finally decided to do a reunion tour and possibly cut a new freaking album. MTV: In April, the legendary Pixies will reunite for the first time in over a decade. The…

Make your way to the Tree House tonight for some good music, good food, and good conversation as the locals and distant locals perfect their craft. Signup online here and come in at 8:00PM or earlier if you like hearing my sound check.

This story has been all over the place today. A 12-year-old girl in New York who was among the first to be sued by the record industry for sharing music over the Internet is off the hook after her mother agreed Tuesday to pay $2,000 to settle the lawsuit, apologizing and admitting that her daughter’s…

A 17 year old girl from Collingswood was arrested after she drove her Corsica into the pool at Flying W airport. “She was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and possession of an open alcohol container in a motor vehicle, police said.” No word on whether her pool membership was revoked.A 17-year-old Collingswood girl…

I’ve been to the Fire open mic twice and for some reason I thought the host, Michael, aka Cowmuddy, was British. I even talked to the guy a few times last Saturday and my delusion persisted. He sounds very similar to one of my professors at AU who was from the UK and I’ve listened…

Matt from the Dave B Trio has been hounding me to post a flyer for his 9/11 benefit show at Bamboo Bernies. Last night I saw him on the high speed line, so I think I better post it before he starts showing up at my house. The show is raising money for the 9/11…

What the heck language is this signature in? It looks like a slinky after a two year old get ahold of it.

I’ve mentioned Adam Brodsky’s attempt at playing 50 shows in 50 states in 50 days, but I really thought someone already did this. I just found out who I was thinking of. A year or two ago I heard an NPR interview with folk artist, Lis Harvey, about her 50 state tour. Luckily for Adam…

The summer is officially over and I know this from the Tree House open mic’s tiny crowd last night. From 8:00 to 10:00 it wasn’t too bad, but from 10:00 – 11:00 there were only 8 people including Rob who works there. Roz, Pat and I still had fun playing to the regulars at the…

I hope the guy responsible for this gets cooked. Brian Wells, an pizza deliveryman from Erie, was forced to rob a bank when someone attached a bomb to his neck. State troopers arrested Brian Wells shortly after he robbed a bank outside the town of Erie in Pennsylvania last Thursday. He told the officers that…

I doubt anyone is surprised at the latest Ticketmaster scheme. Tickets for a typical sold out show are routinely found on ebay for many times their face value. A quick check on ebay confirms this practice and now Ticketmaster wants to get their hand in. They may start auctioning their best seats off instead of…

4th and Girard seemed a lot closer this week. Adrien Reju, Sarah Allen and I stopped by the Fire’s open mic last night featuring San Francisco’s John O’Brien. O’Brien played 4 or 5 pop-folk songs including the fun, “Ghost Projection Machine,” a song about love, fear, and how those Scooby Doo ghosts look so real.…
