After the great success of Toy Story, Pixar was anxious to prove that it wasn’t a one picture fluke. From music to cinema, there are plenty of one hit wonders and the studio understandably didn’t want to be come another member of that club. Also raising the stakes was that the animation landscape had changed. […]
The Outfit, rocks. Seriously. These guys out of Chicago are making rock and roll the old fashioned way. Straight forward rock songs with no tricks. Just super hooky guitars, melodic bass lines, acoustic drums and vocals that soar right off of the record. For guys making music by the old way of doing things, they […]
Grace VanderWaal – Today and Tomorrow Grace VanderWaal continues to shine and amaze. This time around it wasn’t the production or slick beats that had me drawn into the song. It was a simple ukulele and her breathy and almost haunting voice that captured my attention. It’s nearly hard to believe but she seems to […]
Picture this. One of your guitar heroes is in your town and is playing a massive show. You send off a press kit, not knowing if will even get to that person. Well, it does and you get a call to meet him at the venue for soundcheck. You jam for a while and even […]
I like game shows. Always have since I was a kid. I imagine anyone that has been a child in the last 50 years associates The Price Is Right with that gleeful feeling of not being at school. Perhaps it was a snow day, a sick day, or summer vacation. Regardless of the reason, Bob […]

The Lion King was released the previous year enjoying massive acclaim and with Pocahontas coming out in the summer, Disney had a lot to smite about it’s animation department. Once looked upon as a […]
The Houston Astros are cheaters. A bunch of cheating McCheatersons. The Astros will be reviled this year. Cheating is wrong, everyone learns that in kindergarten. I wish all baseball teams behaved nobly. I wish all people behave nobly. My head agrees with all these statements. You know what else I believe? That many other teams […]
Avi Kaplan – I’ll Get By Release Date: 02.28.20 via Fantasy Records Avi Kaplan has more voices than he is known for. In the group Pentatonix, he was primarily known for his deep bass voice – but trust me, dear readers, Avi Kaplan is so much more versatile than that. In fact, his range is […]
Justin Bieber has a crazy streak of number one albums going. On February 14, 2020, Bieber released his fifth consecutive number one album – Changes. Every single one of his prior albums has also gone on to be awarded Platinum status by the RIAA. I expect this one to reach that level, once again. That’s ten […]
