http://doundodoundo.blogspot.com/2009/02/scott-pilgrim-versus-my-inability-to.html
Friday, February 13, 2009. Scott Pilgrim versus my inability to say anything bad about Scott Pilgrim. Just a shorty short today, my adoring public. The highly anticipated fifth volume of Bryan Lee O'Malley. S unclassifiable and awesome Scott Pilgrim. So anyway, what can I say about the latest ish? Gets lots of screen time. panel time? While I wouldn't say it's my favorite, I did have to fend off a wave of forlorn nausea when I reached the last page. Random fact: for the Scott Pilgrim movie. Trump's Addre...

The Queen City Roller: May 2009
http://queencityroller.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 23, 2009. Let Me Roll It #2 - Cheap Trick. In February of 1964, my Mom saw The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. As with so many other people around the world (including Davy Jones who appeared on stage just before The Fabs), her life was changed forever. I didn't get to have the shock and awe that was Beatlemania. I wasn't even born yet. But I got the next best thing stuck in Atlanta traffic while on summer vacation in 1977; Cheap motherfuckin' Trick! I had never heard any of this! In the summer of ...

Monday, March 15, 2010. I've been at sea. It was cool. I suggest it. When Jokers Attack - The Brian Jonestown Massacre. I don't know what I would've come up with if I took all the best parts of. Their Satanic Majesties Request. A brilliant, lush, ominous, and freeing track,. Guitar parts weave in and around the percussion with the same breadth The Chesterfield Kings borrowed from The Chocolate Watchband. If you don't believe me listen to. Would have given TBJM a fighting chance on Elektra. The New PostSe...

Saturday, September 26, 2009. Hey kids, plug into the faithless. But Bennie makes them ageless. We shall survive, let us take ourselves along. Where we fight our parents out in the streets. To find who's right and who's wrong.”. That's from the Elton John/Bernie Taupin classic “Bennie and the Jets.”. It's been going thru my mind the past few days when thinking about my friend -and godfather of the Springfield, MO, rock n roll scene- Benny Mahan.

The Queen City Roller: August 2010
http://queencityroller.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 28, 2010. Goddamn I spend a lot of time at sea! Have you seen The Squids? They are really, really cool. They hang out around 9th and Elgin and occasionally I've seen them rotating clockwise near Papeete. I go there often for decaf. Along with their buddies, The Cnidarians, The Squids don't take any shit off of anybody. I was hanging out near the front of the boat just last week when I caught a lash. Very funny! Back on solid ground. Summer is almost over. Life is that damn good. Tom pett...

http://queencityroller.blogspot.com/2009/04/video-concert-hall-big-influence.html
Saturday, April 4, 2009. Video Concert Hall - the big influence. No other thing, save maybe “ URGH! 8221; and the rise of the video arcade, had more of an affect on my delicious formative years. Dad may have owned a record shop but VCH is where I first got turned on to so many of the records that ended up in my collection. The Sports, PhD, The Shoes, The Buggles, Pete Townshend’s. Devo, Gary Numan, Iggy Pop, Bowie’s. Where else would I have discovered Split Enz in 1978 if it weren’t for VCH? Fantastic Pl...
