Loeb & the Dweez
Was Dweezil a weasel? Loeb’s new CD all about her former love: “the lyrics tell the tale of all stages of her relationship from good to bad to single and OK with it. The songs are personal, but not Fiona Apple-esque — raw and painful. ” (Note #1– can someone tell me what ‘Fiona Apple-esque’ stands for? Note #2– yes: absolutely nothing is happening, so I link to this kind of story. Sad, I know.)
The Eclectic Cliché
Top Five Rock Critic Cliches. Some good ones: “pandering to the eclectic”, “elliptical”, “Dylanesque/Beatlesque/Springsteenian”, “overuse of the x-meets-y device to describe the hybridity of the music at hand”.
Cruising With Journey And the Styx
“Don’t miss your chance to spend a week cruising the caribbean featuring 3 of rock’s biggest artists, Journey, REO Speedwagon & Styx!” It’s masochism, Jim, but not as we know it.

Fender Bender
Fender is planning to trademark the shape of its Stratocaster (and other models). Heh. “If Fender gets away with this, it will be catastrophic,” says John Suhr, “It’s really kind of hard in this business, because how many different ways can you make a violin? How different can we make these things look?”
Shake It Shankar
Not quite the Synclavier, but… The Indian Shankar Drum Ganesh Machine!
Dear INSERT NAME
“Don’t waste any more of your valuable time digging deep into the depths of your soul to tell your family off. Instead, let me do all the hard work for you. You just sit back, take a load off.”–The Dysfunctional Family Letter Generator
Abba To Zappa
Abba-to-Zappa the quiz, had me grinning from start to finish – in part I suppose because one of the little band-member puppets kept reminding me of this guy (have a look and you’ll know what I mean, unless you’ve never seen a porn movie in your entire life in which case I, well, admire your wholesome-nosity). Great stuff, give it a whirl – and tell me your scores! :-)

Progress!
Two years ago I was a Precision Processor (IQ 115), now I’m a Word Warrior (IQ 127) *cough*: “This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary.” Woo me! Progress! So much for IQ tests…
