Syd Straw has a few things to get off of her chest. Her shows are filled with feisty, intense songs and hilarious anecdotes. She always travels with her constant companion, the adorable dog, Henry. He usually ends up on stage at some point in an attempt to steal the show. The last time she played at McCabe's, a member of the audience asked her to marry him. She also somehow ended up with a $20 bill at her feet. A Syd Straw show is always full of surprises.

As a passionate traveler, I'm often struck by signs. Signs that you pass on the road, signs to motels, barber shops, gas stations, liquor stores and churches. This one was taken in a suburb of Pittsburgh, PA and I think it says it all. Some might say life (and love Pat Benatar we know) is a battlefield, but what if it didn't have to be. If people were just a little bit nicer and more cognizant of each other. Look around, do you have to be frustrated by little things each day or things that people do that ruffle your feathers? Maybe 2008 can be the year you take just a moment's pause to let the moment pass. Practice kindness this year...for as they say, sugar can get you a lot further than salt.

So the girls hit the American Idol stage last night, and they proved once again that they can sing so much better than the boys this season. So the question on our minds this morning is whether co-front-runner Melinda Doolittle (heads and shoulders above the pack with LaKisha Jones) is just frontin. Can she really be that meek and unsure about her singing? She comes on stage like a lion and leaves like a...

For some reason there are hella shows happening tonight so lets get right to it
Short and simple: 1986. Kansas sweetheart comes to Sunset Strip with dreams of making it big. Lands classic waitress job at famous Sunset Strip music venue – Rock of Ages. Meets typical bartender: cute, humble, coy, wants to be a rock star. Let the philandering begin. Enter superstar Stacee Jaxx (Chris Hardwick of MTV’s , also an ex KROQ DJ) who woos the cute girls, and eventually our sweetheart waitress. Enter evil German developers who convince the Mayor to use eminent domain on Rock of Ages for a ubiquitous mall. Then shit gets fucked up. Plot thickens. Tense, tense, tense! Ahhhh, relief. The end. Let’s sing!
