...I ran through a list of businesses that would bite the big one during as the housing bubble burst?  It wasn't that long ago, and the list was heavy with home improvement type shops (if I weren't so lazy I'd find the old post).  Well, Home Depot has definitely felt the pinc...

It's been a while since I've posted anything of meaning - trust me when I say I've had good reason to keep a somewhat low-profile that last few weeks.  I'll get to that in a sec, but first I'd like to invite any of my 9 faithful readers that have not already done so to seek...

Terrell Owens, the overrated loudmouthed punk of a wide receiver with a terminal case of the dropsies, signed with the Bills....1 year for 6+ million.  Buffalo, that was a really stupid move, but what I really want to know is how Shelvis is taking this news...it can't be good....

Personally, I think that the Punk Goes… compilations are a great idea, and I’m not ashamed to say that I enjoy listening to them. They’re funny and a good way for bands to get their name out there. Fearless Records has set us up with with a few things to give away. One winner wil...

These days it seems any collection of semi-popular musicians can get together and be labeled a 'supergroup'.  I offer up Tinted Windows as an example, a <ahem> 'supergroup' comprised of Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Taylor Hanson (Hanson, thi...

There certainly is a lot of blame to spread around when it comes to trying to pin the current economic crisis on anything and/or anyone.  However, near the top of just about everyone's top ten list of things to blame are Adjustable Rate Mortgages...you know, the loans that start off with a...

Interesting last half of the day at work today, and by interesting I mean that some policy and procedure changes that were announced all but tell the world that the Company suits are falling back and taking up defensive positions.  Anytime a company releases a memo stating that they are no lon...

Being a online music nerd has its perks, but unlike our music-producing associates, we don’t have the privilege of having legions of fans throw themselves at us (except for maybe Blake, but that’s stretching it). This year, the Buzzgrinder writers decided to turn the social aspect of the...
