Hot Box - "Lickety Split"
Once upon a time, in a galaxy as far away as the piss-puddled floors of the local all-ages gig-a-plex, there was a furious rebirth of the punk rock phenomena. That was about the good year 1996, and it was a time of incredible promise and pain: Promise that life might be every bit as intense and fun going forward as it was at that one youth-infused moment; pain because the fun usually involved someone jumping on your head, sometimes from the bleeding lip of the dirty, spit and cigarette butt littered stage, sometimes just to be doing it. And, well, if they were bigger than you--bammo!

When Rock Meets Orchestra
For those who celebrate, it is the time of the year to enjoy the holidays with friends and family. It is the time of the year to joyfully decorate your Christmas tree and illuminate your home with colorful, bright lights. It is the time of the year to drink the rich, creamy sweetness of egg nog and smell the sweet vanilla dough of sugar cookies. It is the time of the year to watch your loved ones open their presents as they giggle with pure delight. It is the time of the year - well, you get the picture.

CONCERT TIME
Over 35 years of concert going I appear to be in the minority, those that want to see the first support and anyone that follows. The venues rarely seem more then half full when the first band appears. Then you can find that something wonderful happened and half the audience weren't there.

A Review of Rob Sheffield's "Dreaming the Beatles"
Note: I had this in mind as the anniversary of John Lennon's death approached, but I never thought it would coincide with the poem I left here. A nice touch, doncha think? ;)

When We Were Young: The Ultimate Emo Renaissance or Nostalgia-Baiting Cash Grab?
When We Were Young. This seems to be one of the most sought-after festivals in the emo scene since the days of getting sunburnt and heat-stricken at Warped Tour. The main difference between WWWY and Warped, though, is that one of them was only $40 for one full day of amazing band performances—hell, I remember one of my friends getting last-minute Warped tickets the day of for, like, $25.
