Lou Diamond Phillips is an icon in this business who unjustly hasn’t had a role he could sink his teeth into for years. That is, until now. In their music video for “Radioactive,” Imagine Dragons utilize the “La Bamba” and “Young Guns” star’s talents by casting him as the ruthless ring leader of an underground, […]

Look out E.T., Reese’s may have finally replaced you as their unofficial celebrity ambassador. With the launch of the candy brand’s Reese’s® Playoff Pandemonium, stand-up comedy icon and “Redneck” preacher Jeff Foxworthy is center stage for their College and Pro Football playoff promotion. In all fairness, I hear our small extraterrestrial friend never took to […]

SOMEKINDAWONDERFUL PUT THEIR THING DOWN, FLIP IT, AND “REVERSE IT”; KATY TIZ COMES UP “BIG”

Some Kind of Wonderful is one of 80s movie-master John Hughes’ underrated films. The movie is fun, romantic, and – more importantly – introduced me to tom-boy beauty cutie Mary Stuart Masterson. On a related note, that film’s title was also a Grand Funk Railroad hit that still resonates, but a new band who shares […]

“So don’t you wait up for me, I’m leaving with the light Don’t wait up for me, I’ve got a restless mind Trying to pull ahead, I’m always chasing time” It’s fitting that Robert DeLong’s new song is called “Don’t Wait Up.” Ever since he dropped his debut album Just Movement in 2013, the wunderkind […]

ZZ WARD IS CLEARLY CATCHY ‘FIRE’

Jon Chattman March 15, 2013

A praised debut album. Sold-out shows. Sexy hats. Yep, 2012 was the year of ZZ Ward and clearly she’s making 2013 her bitch as well. The sultry bluesy singer/songwriter – not the love child between classic rockers ZZ Top and character actor Fred Ward (it’s not possible anyway) – got more mileage than a […]

Coming Up for Some Fresh Aer

Photos/Video by shootmepeter.com So many musicians – no matter how talented they are and how oiled their PR machine is – release a debut album and it’s met with a proverbial shrug and thunderous pin drop. Breaking into this industry is a hard thing to do, and that’s what she said. That joke still works. […]

Jump They Say

A good friend of mine sent me an inspiring video by Steve Harvey (of all people) telling his audience after an episode of Family Feud to make the jump. To expand on that, he was essentially telling the crowd to stop coming up with excuses, and leave a job they’re miserable out and take the […]

Convincing ‘Reason’ to Listen to Selah Sue; A Day at the Lost Beach

Five years ago, Belgian singer/songwriter Selah Sue broke out throughout Europe like a fake virus outbreak in a stale popcorn movie. Her debut went multi-platinum there, and one can expect the electro-soul artist to have similar results here in the states. Tomorrow, she’ll drop her second LP entitled Reason, and it’s an eclectic mix of […]

More refreshing than an iced latte at Dunkin on a hot day. More rocking than a chair along Lake George. More fun than peeing on a trampoline? Um, the latter might or might not be. I’m just taking a line from a killer song from our featured band today. Don’t get any idea kids. I’m […]
