Editor’s Note:  Albums are already starting to stack up, and oddly, this week’s installment of Radio Dick offers a playlist of things to come (and probably fitting that most of these are heavy hitting acts with prolific careers already).  I’m starting to get the feel that many bands used 2009 as an off-season and this [...]

(Editor’s note: Those dudes above built the Hoover Dam.  Sometimes I wish I lived in a tent and poured concrete in a desert.  Those cats up there didn’t have the internet or cell phones or laser beams, but they look happy, content in their knowledge that they’re building something they can stand on.  I probably [...]

I watch three television programs regularly: Fringe, Survivor and How I Met Your Mother. Fringe gives me my dramatic/sci-fi fix, with the added bonus of the deeply fascinating Walter Bishop.  Survivor gives me my half-guilty/half-comico-serious sociological fix, with the added bonus of digitally obscured body parts.  How I Met Your Mother gives me my slightly [...]

We’ve received plenty of emails recently asking us about our end of the year list.  Readership, let’s begin.
Our inaugural year in the blogosphere has been spectacular, and although we have our customary mix of free and legal tunes below, we’re stoked to announce our “Best Albums of 2009″ coverage starting tomorrow.  As we candidly use [...]

I’ve never been a Sirius Satellite Radio subscriber, but I think I’m going to take the leap.  I visited my parents in grand Cincinnati this weekend for the holidays and my mother and I also took the winding four hour drive through Tennessee, as they have a vacation cabin just outside of Knoxville.  Along the [...]

(Editor’s note 1 – We know that Veckatimest was released on May 26.  We also realize that’s like six months ago.  We don’t care.  It was nearly criminally negligent editorial decision-making that prevented us from commenting on this record when it was released.  For that, we apologize.  However, you will receive the benefit of six [...]

Brian was a bit salty yesterday regarding the blogosphere.  I gave him a ring after the diatribe and tried to let him know everythin’ was going to work out okay.  I’m in complete agreement with him regarding the blatant disregard some folks have with the music that gets leaked to them, but I’ve always thought [...]

That chick up there has the right idea.  Nothing says summer like sun, sand, surf, and a big ass yellow boom box.  Regardless of what your personal summer staples may be, it’s hard to deny that music plays a key role in almost any warm weather activity.  Whether it’s a BBQ, a jog along the [...]

Before I jump into the mp3’s this morning, I want to let all of my fellow Chicagoans know about a great street festival coming up this weekend that will be featuring one of the better music lineups of the Summer.  The inaugural Metronome Celebration runs Saturday and Sunday rom noon to 10pm along the stretch [...]

The other two Dicks are out carousing and eating meat (except for Brian, who’s probably grilling some protein-infused soy extract product due to his vegetarianism).  I’m stuck here at Citizen Dick central campus after a really strange day. It’s Memorial Day Weekend, so I normally use this three-day vacation to catch up on all sorts [...]
