So says my good friend and music promoter Joel Frank. That debate aside, come out to Home Team BBQ (W.A.) this Sunday for his venture's kick-off bash, with a ton of local (non-boy band) music

Not every task needs hiring out... Shining my shoes is one job that feels right to just sit and do myself. I'll tell you why your shoes need it and show you how

Rude concert goers aside, Jackson Browne's show Sunday night at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center (with Sara Watkins) was truly sublime. That is, if you were listening...

Saturday night was a great time to be a 90s alt-rock fan here in Charleston. A recap of Last Summer on Earth at Family Circle Stadium, including the Barenaked Ladies wearing their tennis whites

With the Last Summer on Earth tour here and as a proud and balding member of Gen X, I've got hard-core nostalgia for genre giants like Drivin N' Cryin, Cracker, BNL, and even the old gang at 96 Wave

After my Rum Stroll at Middleton Place last night where I sipped with the best of them, I can offer you a brief—if slightly scandalous—history of the good-time drink's role in Charleston's history

You can't teach an old dog new tricks? Not true, as proven by my dog, Snowy. It seems you just have to have the right teacher (in this story, said teacher is a box turtle)

Meet a local style star who loves Mozart, winter fashion, Red Wing boots, and is up for a documentary about anything—even water irrigation in Southeat Asia

This blog got us all choked up just in time for Sunday's salute to dads everywhere—this is one post we hope makes the rounds and back again. Happy Father's Day!

It's Father's Day this weekend, a good time to remember all the how-a-boy-becomes-a-man things my dad taught me, watch my son learn them, and challenge other dads to get in the game

Ate lots of paint chips as a kid? This is the blog post for you.

Rosie O'Donnell as Elaine? Nicolette Sheridan as Grace? A fantastic interview with a 90s-era NBC exec that will have you aching for a good Thursday night belly laugh again...

Devin's half-year wrap-up of music deaths got us feeling a little nostalgic—for the Beasties, the Bee Gees, and diva Donna Summer (may she finally find a little of that hot, hot pasta...)

Less than halfway through the year we've lost two-dozen musical greats... Rock and roll heaven is filling up fast in 2012

I know, you can't believe you watched another episode of it either... But here we are, so you might as well read on

So you're repaired and rejuvenated, but to get past that breakup you'll need to take it one more brave step further. I dare you to....

How I fell in love with live music. (Hint: It's all Joan's fault)

Reflections on a recent visit from my parents, Hen and Herb. Delicious turnip and onion soup included

Apparently, my son's new motto is: "Porn in the U.S.A...."
