I make TV but mostly talk about music (rock, metal, prog), tech and silly old jokes.

Well, you can’t go back to the greasers. The best you can do is pick up your pieces. But rest assured, I know you’ll both find a way to get by.
Apartment with Deep Pile Carpet $500/m
A Couple Paintings from Sears $75
Big Water Bed $36,000
Utility $150
someone who is good at the economy please help us budget this. The money has gotten tight and we just didn't count on the tears.

Robert Plant: "I just wrote a song about a girl"

Jimmy Page (relieved): "Cool! A love song?"

RP: "Yes, about finding my true love"

JP: "Great, a classic love song"

RP: "Well it does take place in the darkest depths of Mordor. And there's a weird little guy"

JP (under breath): "fuck, this again"

Found this real review of the Beatles famous appearance on Ed Sullivan in 1964.

This man was not a fan of their music and it is a reminder to artists, most times, critics don’t know a thing.

After listening to them for 35 years, I still enjoy Red Hot Chili Peppers. Good performance at #FireAid

I would love it if speculation from people with no knowledge on any subject could end.

Random person: “Well I think the only possible explanation is the instrument cluster on the mainframe of the flux capacitor in the black hawk helicopter was malfunctioning.”

I hear there is not a lot of money to go around anymore to people who make tv.

But there is certainly a lot of money to benefit tech executives from created tv though.
Netflix is raising prices again, as the standard plan goes up to $17.99
Streaming keeps getting more expensive.

The band OK Go consistently has some of the most creative music videos. I think they’re more known for their videos than their music at this point.

To lighten the mood, here is their new video. Shot individually on iPhones and presented on iPhones. youtu.be/MOEULOSVNK4

One of my favorite films as a kid was Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Spielberg is making a new Sci-Fi film in Cape May, NJ and looking for extras. I may have to make a trip just to say I worked with Spielberg. thedigestonline.com/news/spielbe...

Tonight is the 30 year anniversary of Phish playing their 1st show at MSG. I was in the old 400s. I could touch the ceiling and it vibrated. The crowd was loud and jubilant in celebration of this achievement for the band. I’ll never forget the Wilson chants.

Tonight they play MSG for the 86th time.

Legendary prog rock drummer (and also pop icon) Phil Collins participated in a 2 hour documentary focused solely on his drumming from Drumeo. Great for fans of drumming and Genesis fans.

The best thing about Letterboxd is you can follow horror legends like John Carpenter and see when he watched Kung Fu Panda 3, liked it and rated it 3.5 stars.

This will be my first and probably last sports post.

As a lifetime Yankees fan, I’m happy we didn’t pay all that for Soto.

I’m tired of this money in baseball, where does it end? The Yankees once had a great farm. Let contracts end and start capping money.

I hope it works out for the Mets fans.

Now Playing: Yes - Heart of the Sunrise

From the 1971 album (1972 in America), Fragile. One of prog rock’s finest songs. And the first album to feature new keyboardist Rick Wakeman.

My friend got me an elephant for my room.

I said, “Thanks!” and she said, “Don’t mention it.”

Made holy water tonight.

I just boiled the HELL out of it.

It made the spaghetti divine.

As a teenager, I wore out my VHS copy of Phish at Shoreline Amphitheatre, 08-29-1992. So much energy, still great.
