Shaq joins the Suns - Sports Music

February 12th, 2008 · 18 Comments

I’m a baseball fan above all else, but I have to say, my hometown team’s recent trade for Shaquille O’Neal has me pretty excited to watch more Phoenix Suns basketball. The Suns are the second best team in basketball as it is - thanks in large part to the guy they just traded away [...]

Old School Friday: Lisa Lisa!

It would be interesting to investigate the history of Old School Friday, and how often it correlates directly with an after work happy hour. I’m pretty sure the former has always been accompanied by the latter. So who am I to mess with destiny?
Tonight, we forget about Britney Spears and her paparazzi boy toy; we [...]

Tomorrow, I will try my luck on Ticketmaster.com for some decent seats to see the Boss at the L.A. Sports Arena on October 29th. Did you see him on the Today show Friday morning? My original idea was to record it and get to work on time, but “The Promised Land” pulled me in, [...]

Well I’m back from a little family vay-kay to the beaches of San Diego, and the crowded, expensive, but still fun destinations of $eaworld and Di$neyland. We happened to be at Disneyland to experience the phenomenon that is Disney’s High School Musical. The premiere of High School Musical 2 took place on Tuesday [...]

You’re just gonna have to indulge me a bit here, as I rifle through my hundreds of albums and cassettes, and get nostalgic about the music of yesteryear. I’m not sure if the words “Where the hell is my Georgio album?” have ever been uttered before, but they were last night! Don’t worry, I’ll track [...]

De La Soul - Say No Go

June 6th, 2007 · 2 Comments

It’s a quick random flashback to the spring of 1989, where hours were spent entertaining friends in my dorm room with this album. A stroke of genius it was (and is). Here’s my favorite cut, complete with samples of Hall & Oates’ “I Can’t Go For That”…

I’m not going to knock Diddy for this one. If I was standing next to Jessica Biel, I’d probably gaze at her golden globes too. Well done Diddy! What a great segue into another Old School Friday!

Schooly D: Am I Black Enough for You? (mp3) - from 1989’s album of the same name, this was [...]
