A friend of mine whose opinion I trust more than most on music sent me a link to this site for listening to live concerts dating back to the 60s. The website is called Concert Vault. There are some amazing bands and concerts available on the site. You have to register but it is…
Im not gonna lie to you…. I always thought John Mayer was sort of annoying. Always a little too overzealous about singing his pop/love songs. However, yesterday I saw a performance by Buddy Guy and John Mayer at last year’s Farm Aid and I have to say that John Mayer is a great guitarist. …
While I was not an avid Daily Candy reader in Chicago, I did feel like they had a few interesting articles about music or restaurants from time to time which merited me not unsubscribing.

As part of my holiday break, I made a pact to clean out the 40 magazines that I had been collecting under my coffeetable. I am almost done and I have to say that i am glad that I forced myself to do it since it made me realize why I subscribed to all of…

Is there anything better than the CEO of a website (or any products company) coming out and saying that their goal was not to make money but to give their customers exactly what they wanted? Craigslist not surprisingly did just that in an Analyst presentation this week (although I sort of feel like the article…
Someone told me today where Kazakhstan (Borat’s country) ranks in the world in terms of size and I was surprised. So I decided to pose the question to you as well: What rank is Kazakhstan in the world in terms of size (sq. kms)? a) 1 – 5 b) 5 – 10 c) 11 – 15 d) 16 – 25…
One of the things that I love to do is partake in large parties around the world and celebrate with the locals (and fellow tourists…). I have attended a few world famous ones in my life so far: Carnival in Rio, Mardi Gras, JazzFest, and Oktoberfest in Munchen but I still have a bunch more on my "future travel" wishlist….
