If you’re like me, a new Gomez album is always something to look forward to. I can remember the day that I bought Liquid Skin, which was my first exposure to the band, and driving around in Milwaukee that night I couldn’t believe the music that I was hearing. I got back into [...]

Wednesday haps.
Before I get into music related topics, I have to say that I’m glad to hear that Brett Favre will be returning for another season. That being said, I am upset that his decision couldn’t have come sooner, but at least he did it before the NFL Draft this weekend (barely).
75 Or Less puts up [...]

I also suggest heading to Insound and taking advantage of free shipping on [...]

I have two (2) pairs of tickets that I am giving away to the Jack Daniels Live Concert series that is taking place at the High Noon Saloon this Sunday, April 23rd.
