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.…

For all those interested, the signup list for this week’s open mic at the Tree House is back online. You can now sign up for a specific slot, which will hopefully make scheduling the performers each night a little less stressful for me. You can also add in your website address, since no one ever…

We had a nice turnout for Friday and Saturday’s Tree House shows. Sarah, Cathy, Roz, Jason, Willie, Adrien, and Keith put on a great show. I ended up going on fairly late tonight and busted a freakin string during “I’m a Lesbian Trapped in a Man’s Body,” but other that that it went well. Adrien…

Last Wednesday was an interesting night at the Tree House. Sadly, I didn’t get a chance to play for the first time since I started hosting. My Dad came out for the first time and I think he liked it enough that he’ll come back. Just a reminder, the following open mic artists are playing…

If you were undecided about coming to my show on Saturday at the Tree House, consider yourself off the fence. Dylan O’Hearn cancelled and Adrien Reju is now filling the fourth slot. Anyone who reads this site regularly knows how awesome she is, and I’m psyched and honored to play with her. See you Saturday!

The martians are closer than ever before, but that won’t stop Collingswood’s best open mic. Rumor has it that the following will make their way to our stage: leo dogwallet 5ara4 A113n ray mcgeehan Mark Garvey Adrien Reju Yes, you read that right. My dad is playing, so make sure you come out. Barring any…

I am such a dumbass, but I’ll get to that later. I always hear musicians praising The Fire’s open mic and last night I finally checked it out. I saw the sign out front, but even then I wasn’t sure this was the right place. I thought “Maybe the outside looks decrepit, but the inside…

I’m a huge Pixies/Frank Black fan, but some of his newer stuff hasn’t been that great with the exception of “Dog in the Sand.” It’s nice to see his latest album, “Show Me Your Tears” getting good press from review from one of my favorite music sites.I?m no Frank Black expert, but I know what…

As far as we know, Adam Brodsky is still living through his goal to play 50 shows in 50 states in 50 days. According to his itinerary he’s in my homestate of Illinois today. Philly Weekly even let him even write about the trip so far.The coolest thing ever just happened. I’m in the Florida…

This is old news by now, but a lot of people still haven’t heard about it. Phish bassist Mike Gordon was arrested for “child endangerment and trespassing.”Last week at the Jones Beach Theatre in Wantagh, New York, Gordon was backstage taking pictures at a concert when he spotted a 9-year-old girl he wanted to photograph.…

The first time you heard a Wesley Willis song you probably said to yourself, “what the hell?” I know I did. Sadly, he died of chronic myelogenous leukemia the other day.””Wesley will go down as one of the most unique songwriters and entertainment personalities in history,” Biafra said Friday. “What really struck me was his…
