Let’s Unpack: tick, tick… BOOM!
It’s hard to explain this movie without wanting to burst out into Rent songs.

why we hurt when artists die
A lyrical and vocal legacy echoes today in the ears of the heartbroken.
Rewind Repost: When I’m Eighty…
That time I heard B.B. King play live.
9/11 – Paul Simon’s “Sound of Silence” Tribute
Pin drop silence. A moving tribute. Man, I miss songs that still hold value decades later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3np0DMxXKzM&feature=player_embedded
Music: Dreamgirls…Jimmy says see it!
I love musicals. Most of them, anyway. And I’ve been lucky enough to have parents who exposed me to them at an early age (even if they were indulging in my sister’s pleas). I’ve seen a lot of the big ones, too. Les Mis, Phantom, Miss Saigon, Rent…I’m lucky, I know. But the last time […]
Music: Andrew Ripp – A great songwriter you’ve probably never heard of
I rarely write blogs about my job (probably because I don’t want to get in trouble!), but I had to write this. I had a musician come in today who I’ve been trying to get on the show since he was bumped in August for an Obama press conference (curse you!). He’s your typical singer/songwriter […]
Music: My current anthem
I just haven’t met you yet…so simple, yet so great. Plus who doesn’t think they will meet their soulmate in the freezer section?
Music: Josh and the Empty Pockets’ pockets may not be empty for long.

But now that I’ve […]
Music: It doesn’t Suck, but it doesn’t Rock either.
I don’t necessarily think Kelly Clarkson’s new single, My Life Would Suck Without You, well, sucks…but I’m not sold on it either. Dare I say, I was expecting more. With a beginning riff reminiscent of her “Walk Away” debut, the sample club beat is mediocre at best. Catchy, yes, but still mediocre. I also have […]
