Confessions of a Former Snob A few days ago I was coll.ecting a couple more CD catalogs to load onto the Big iPod, and started thinking about something?   I was trying to locate all the Bruce Springsteen discs (through Tunnel of Love only), and realized Bruce was hugely popular, yet still OK for hipsters to like.  There aren't many who fall into that category? because obscurity is one of the main things hipsters crave.    Sell a few million albums, you see, and you're no longer a best-kept secret, and not attractive.Bruce Springsteen.

10 Underrated Songs by Fictional Music Groups (in Movies) This week, thanks to The Rocker, we can add another fictional band to the long list of music groups created solely.the movies. They're called Vesuvius, and they're an ?80s hair band with a hit song titled ?Promised Land. As part of the film's marketing, the track was offered as a free download for play on Rock Band (see the clip above). But if you ask me, the wrong tune was used in the promotion. Another song from the soundtrack, also credited to Vesuvius, is called ?Pompeii Nights. Tickets.

Growing old(er) with Bruce Bruce Springsteen tickets, Six days after I said goodbye to my 40s, Bruce Springsteen and his E Street Band come to town. It's reassuring, even a little comforting. The 50s don't kid around when it comes to reminding a guy what life stage he's about to enter.

I want another first kiss tickets, First Kiss - They Might Be Giants Strange to say, this is the 500th post here. This is particularly exciting since at my current posting pace, I'll not going to reach 1000 until somewhere in mid-2013. For now, I just thought it would be interesting to go back to the very first thing I wrote here: my top albums list for 2005 ? see how my opinions have changed over the years and to see how well the sounds of a few years ago have stood up. And, since virtually all of these acts have released their.

The Boss (hearts) Dover tickets, This morning, I'm staring bleary eyed into the computer screen.".Thunder Road.".is playing on my I-pod. The screen door slams Mary' dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays I'm jealously thinking that I will never write a narrative that so completely encapsulates not the big story, but a perfect little moment, a tiny shiny sliver of existence. But that's why he's the Boss. Bear with my overburdensome prose. I'm sleepy. Last night, I stayed up far too late with .
