On This Date in 1981: Thomas Dolby released his second solo single, “Europa And The Pirate Twins,” from his debut album, The Golden Age Of Wireless. The single reached the #48 spot on the U.K. singles chart and the #67 spot on the U.S. singles chart. In “Europa And The Pirate Twins” Dolby makes use [...]
Somehow, I had the TV tuned to NBC at 10:00 PM last night when the new Jay Leno show debuted. It was about as funny and cutting edge as something my late grandmother would have enjoyed. In too many ways it reminded me of the now infamous, ill-fated Chevy Chase Show, which ran for only [...]
Image Source I found this image on one of my very favorite websites, Hello Kitty Hell. I love the way it portrays a “Hello Kitty–meets-HR Giger” vibe, but I’m unable to confirm whether or not Giger is the actual artist in this case, or if this rendering is merely a“Giger-esque” tribute to the Swiss surrealist.

So Rad!! A very good activity to plan for a rainy day in NYC is to go to a museum. Whether it’s the Whitney (aka the “Whip Me”), The Guggenheim (The Guggy) The Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) or some other place where we can get in for free with our badges from our day [...]
Lisa over at Skulls and Bacon just sent me a link to this out of control Cake Shrine created by artist Scott Hove. I don’t even know what to say about it but you can check out more pictures of what is surely either a pastry chefs wet dream or worst nightmare over at High [...]

Neil is without a doubt one of the most influential drummers in history, and I’d say that eight out of ten drummers I interview site either him or John Bonham as their primary influence.
