I found one of these bad boys at an estate sale and knew I had to get it. This was my iPad when I was a baby. You can spin the dial for a while. When you bore yourself of that, push the button to make the bell ring. It was full of sounds and [...]

A Review of Taco Bell's Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Tacos

Chris Illuminati — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 18:32:37 +0000

Taco Bell has been an integral block of my food pyramid for almost two decades. Here is where things get a little odd though -- rarely do I stray from the regular. In the beginning the order was always the same -- three Soft Taco Supremes and three regular crunchy tacos -- with an occasional Grilled Stuft Burrito with beef. Boring but always delivered.

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:37:21 +0000

The one thing that’ll make the Van Halen reunion with David Lee Roth work and last beyond the band’s upcoming tour and new album is if the principals are having a good time. Well, judging from last night’s beyond intimate gig at Café Wha? in New York City, that won’t be a problem.

Were you at the Foo Fighters show Sunday, October 9, at the Pepsi Center in Denver?

Bet you didn't make it to work on Monday morning because the Foo Fighters played until after Midnight, their encore was five songs.

Dave Grohl told the crowd at the beginning of their set that they were going to play for two-and-a-half hours because they have a lot of "*#&@ing songs." And they did, they played all the songs I could think of including; "The Pretender," "Learn To Fly," "Best of You," "Times Like These," "My Hero" and new ones from their Wasting Light album like "Rope" and "Walk."

Are you a fan of the "Planet of the Apes" movies? The latest film, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," opens in theaters Friday, August 5.

When the first series of "Apes" movies were released in the 1970's, we couldn't wait to see every one of them at the theaters. I even read the book by Pierre Boulle. The original "Planet of the Apes" movie came out in 1968, starring Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter.

The prosthetic makeup techniques, created by John Chambers, were groundbreaking at the time. He won an honorary Academy Award for his outstanding make-up achievements.

Ok I’ll admit it! I was a Motley Crue virgin. I don’t know how that happened, but somehow it just never happened in all my years…but it did on Wednesday night. It has taken me until now to put the words together to do this review justice. It started simply enough, a little three-person band [...]

Paul McCartney Raps On Buddy Holly Tribute 'Rave On'

Grateful Mike — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 01:09:16 +0000

Can you sing any Buddy Holly songs? On a new release called Rave On, a wide variety of artists perform tunes by the rock pioneer.

Sir Paul McCartney pays tribute to one of the Beatles' biggest influences on the cover album out today. He even does some spontaneous "rapping" in parts of the song with his voice altered to where it doesn't even sound like the fab four's bass player, but more like a soulful southern preacher. McCartney's version of "It's So Easy" is easily the stand out track on the record.

Lou Reed's performance of "Peggy Sue" would be a close second, transforming Holly's sweet original into a distorted, mournful song about lost love.
