Ok, here's what you need to know about me. I've been here at DC101 for a while now. I went to community college and am darn proud of my 2 1/2 years there. Buffalo wings, beer, pizza, tattoos, and looking at hot chicks makes me happy. Nothing earth shattering there. I love Orioles baseball, I hate the Yankees and the Red Sox (and in case of a tie, I'll hate the Red Sox more). Making fun of everything is also one of my favorite things to do. I like laughing at the news. It makes the world less serious. Oh, and I've been trying to figure out for years why Crown Royal comes in that purple velvet bag. Unless your hands are made of pure diamond, the bottle won't get scratched. It's a waste of good purple velvet that could go to make a cape for someone in need. Thanks for stopping by!
Cage Match at 10pm!

5. I have the final say over all song choices.

Rock On The Range Part II 5/19/13
Great second day for me at Rock on the Range, stayed quite busy!
First off I had a chance to catch up with Gavin Rossdale backstage. We discussed the new music Bush is making, how a concert turned ugly on them the other night and always playing the bad guy on film!
Check out our conversation:
Gavin was great, but wait, there's more! Our friends Dan and Tony from Beware of Darkness came over to chat for a few minutes as well, letting me know about playing for Conan, finally having the record Orthodox out and they almost kind of sort of told me what's next!
Here is that chat!
Everything that is fun and rocking and rolling with Beware of Darkness is here! Click it!
It was a great weekend at Rock on the Range, thank you everyone who I got to meet and have a blast with!!!
Until 2014...

Rock On The Range Part I 5/18/13
I had a great time running around and taking photos of everything at Rock on the Range, please check out my first day shots by clicking here and going to them!
Just a sample, from our friends Papa Roach.
Also I had a chance to chat for a few minutes with Jim Florentine!
Jim is getting ready for the 12th season of That Metal Show plus he was doing stand up at Rock on the Range. Lots to discuss and I had to take an awful photo with him...
Told you it was bad... Anyhow, hear our chat!
For all that is Jim Florentine, click here!
Thank you Jim! Apologies again for my bad smile.

R.E.M. Is Staying Apart
It happened in September of 2011. R.E.M. called it quits. Nobody expected that to be said, but it was and they did and now they're no longer.
Fans have been asking how long until they do decide to get back on stage, in the studio, to do something again as R.E.M. But it won't happen. It's not going to occur anymore because they aren't going to do it!
That's what Mike Mills said. The former R.E.M. bassist told Rolling Stone how it is and how it's going to be.
"There were no real factors other than deciding it was time to break up. There's no drug abuse. There's no in-fighting. There's no legal problems. It was time to break up. That's never really been done before.
He went on to say, "The idea of breaking up and not reforming for a reunion tour is kind of attractive to us," he added. "I doubt you'll see us touring as R.E.M. again. On the other hand, I just played with Peter in New York City the other night, so fun things do happen."

So that's how it stands, at least for now. It could change, but I wouldn't bank on it...

Glastonbury Goes 4G
One of the biggest pet peeves I have about going to shows is not having cell service. I know you agree because I always see people around me trying to do whatever on their phones during a set change and getting annoyed.
The people at Glastonbury are going to try to solve the problem this year: they've partnered with EE, a mobile provider in the UK, and are getting their own dedicated 4G network for the show this year! How great is that!

If this works I hope more concert venues and festivals do this. Smartphones are such a part of our lives and to make the customer happy with an addition like this would be huge! We'll see. Glastonbury is coming up at the end of June.
