Welcome to RSL Blog Radio Volume 15 . These are songs are what I am listening to right now. (Think of it as a road map to my state of mind!) An Inaccurate Map of Charlottesville by Russell Richards The hope is that there's something in here [...]
Oh, I bet they do, I bet they do. Billy Idol - Sweet Sixteen , from Whiplash Smile MySpace | Official And over at Billy's MySpace, you can listen to Billy sing 'Silent Night'. The song is from his new X-Mas Album he recently recorded, 'Happy Holidays' which I just discovered right now looking for the mp3 of 'Sweet Sixteen' I posted above. You can buy 'Happy Holidays' at his site for $9.99 , (now that's a fair price) and you can [...]
Today in Music History: Born on this day in 1949, Cliff Williams, bass player for AC/DC (he replaced Mark Evans in 1977). Johnny Rotten once dubbed Billy Idol "the Perry Como of punk", but surely he can't have suspected that 1977's Gen Xer would one day record a Christmas album. Even more bizarre than swapping White Wedding for White Christmas, Sir William has traded in his Rebel Yell for a faux Bing Crosby croon. During Frosty the Snowman and other festive staples awash with unfortunate druggy double [...]
Another great band from DC is The Hard Tomorrows . This year saw the highly anticipated release of their first full length. While they are still relatively unknown outside of the region, they are starting to receive some love. This is likely to expand as word continues to get out about their energetic live shows and solid releases. As long as they can keep Jesus Crisis away from the zoo, the future looks bright for this band. Band : The Hard Tomorrows Location : Washington DC Formed : September [...]

Sixteen Candles is another one of those classic 80s movies that practically everyone in my generation has seen a million times and can quote endlessly. It was the film that basically kicked off Molly Ringwald 's career and energized the teen comedy trend. It's possibly my favorite John Hughes film from that era. Even after seeing it so many times, it never gets old. Sixteen Candles tells the story of Samantha, who is celebrating her sixteenth birthday. The problem? Her family has completely forgotten about it, mostly due to [...]
I am, like many of the music bloggers out there today, a product of the 80's. I was young during much of the 80's and missed out on some of the experience, but I did my best. I had L.A. Gear high tops and I coveted Guess? jeans. I had friends who featured what alt-gramma liked to call a "wall of hair", formed with lots of hairspray and made you look as if you were surprised by a sudden burst of air. My hair looked like Courtney Cox's hair in that Bruce Springsteen video . [...]
Boeing is now testing a new, airplane-mounted Advanced Tactical Laser that "will transform the battlefield by giving the warfighter a speed-of-light, precision engagement capability." The man behind this devatstating new weapon? You guessed it: Val Kilmer.
Run - Praise My DJs (Washington Remix) You know how when you're a kid and you scribble some lines down on a piece of paper and you show your mom and she's like "Wow honey that's really...interesting?" Well, I'm a huge fan of Run from Run-DMC and this dance track by him and his wife Justine is really...interesting. I picked this up off of a two LP set, that featured six remixes of the song - this is the only one that was close to being good. Sugababes - Round [...]
Guess what we're doing today, class? We're dancing! Teacher's made a mix of songs that have the words "dance" or "dancing" in the title to get everyone in the mood. Let's all grab a partner and shake our asses. David Bowie - Let's Dance France Joli - Tonight, I Feel Like Dancing Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days The Sounds - Dance with Me Re-Flex - The Politics of Dancing Toothfairy - Keep Dancing [...]
More lovers, fewer fighters â€" that’s what this poor world needs. Despite my occasionally prickly personality, my allegiances are firmly rooted in the lovers’ camp. Just ask my wife, our fifteen-year relationship has become the stuff of local legend for both its intensity and its “you make it look so easy†je ne sais quoi. There are the occasional, minor, rough patches here and there, but nothing that can’t be overcome by a pizza and comics date. (We go to a pizza place, eat pizza, and read comics.) Consequently, I find myself being asked for relationship advice fairly often. [...]
The Sun runs this picture of Pope Benedict with his hair blowing up this morning, suggesting that it makes "him look like rocker Billy Idol." Eh? In what way? Clearly, they reached for the first punk they could think of, and then changed their mind because it let them run a "Pope Idol" headline. But even after a night up involved in private family business with Ross Kemp and the local constabulary, Rebekah Wade surely could tell the difference? [...]
