It's drizzling here in Southern California, and in light of the fact that this is probably the last rain we'll see for the next six months or more, I thought today's Request Line would feature songs about rain. What's that, Knowshon? You don't like songs about rain? They make you

Have you ever had a headache that lasted three days? I have, now. At first I thought it was a hangover (two Manhattans lead a hangover that lasts more than a day? Yeah, right.) but it's still fucking here, poking at the back of my skull every few minutes, and ze

Last Friday our good friend Matt Ryan stopped by to take your requests for some good tunes, and you folks came through, as always. I'm freshly recovered from the first ever DFO pub crawl (which - no lie - featured a Texans fan who promptly vanished before we could obtain

Good day. I'm Matt Ryan. I'm the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League. You may have heard of me - I'm well known around the league as a pretty good quarterback. In college I led Boston College to a 25-7 record as a starter, which was

Greetings! I hope you made it through the first weekend of March Madness with your sanity (and by some divine Providence your final four bracket) intact. I've been fielding a visit from my brother-in-law and his family and keeping everyone entertained has robbed me of significant sleep, so while this

Wow. Man. Oh, my head. It feels...not good. Like many of you, I'm suffering from the effects of the overindulgence that results when two of the biggest drinking days of the year converge. And what better way to reflect upon that than by announcing ANOTHER day of drinking! That's right, on Saturday

Sorry to keep things so short, folks. But I'm two Manhattans (really good movie*, you should see it) into my evening and I don't have any strong opinions about anything (except the idiocy of wanting to make Daylight Savings Time permanent) so let's get straight to the music. Thanks to

I decided that in lieu of coming up with any original content for this post (I'm planning to blow my wad on this week's installment of the Usual Suspensions) I would repost Entropy's story of his adventure at the Coors Convention. Enjoy. Playlist of last week's Request Line is at
