R.I.P. — Robin Gibb

Tired of these “R.I.P.” features this year, notably as God’s gathering quite a band/chorus in 2012, Robin Gibb passing away earlier today. To the surviving Gibb family and their friends, please know I pray you’re as peaceful as can be. The Bee Gees songs were an immense part of my elementary school years, my mother [...]

Just-As-Classic Pick o’ the Day — Sunday, May 20

Good God, who am I kidding? The Comebacks (11 PM EST on Fox Movie Channel), though it shows very limited truly chuckle-worthy moments, only merits mention because it features RF3D friend Nick Searcy as a cross-dressing Cher and Christina Aguilera.

Bit of a Searcy weekend, too — call it kismet in an optional man-thing [...]

My kinda town

I know the long-superstarring absent Rich is a White Sox guy, so if there are any Cubbies in the house, just what would you give up and/or endure to guarantee a championship for your team?

In case you missed the first in this commercial series, click right about here.

RIP — Donna Summer

With Donna Summer’s passing, the sad news just won’t stop in 2012. First lady of disco — nay, the Queen — the woman could sing her ass off and thank you, God, for her many mighty hits. Peaceful thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.

UPDATE: More from Billboard.com.

Once a Celtics fan, always a Celtics fan …

Yeah, sure, it’s still the NBA and this will assuredly come back to bite me, but with this feeble Microsoft Paint adaptation (wherefore art thou and your superior Adobe skills, College Widow???), enjoying last night’s Lakers collapse for all it’s worth.

Tramp Camp

Aside from learning aches and pains last a few days longer than only a couple years past, apparently another sign one’s slinking into middle age: instead of, “Why didn’t girls dress like that when I was in high school,” thoughts become, “Where are the parents?” Threedonia moms and dads, please help me out on this [...]

Jumpin’ Jazz

For the Joe Jackson and/or Duke Ellington fans, looks like July 23rd’s going to be your day …

earMUSIC, the Hamburg based rock label which is part of Edel Group, is proud to announce the July 23rd UK release of “The Duke” – Joe Jackson’s tribute to American jazz icon Duke Ellington. The album will [...]

RIP – Donald “Duck” Dunn

“If the shit fits, wear it … scoot over, godammit!” RIP, “Duck.” I know you’re already jammin’ away with all your buddies.

Donald “Duck” Dunn, who played on hundreds of rock and soul classics as the bassist for Booker T. and the MGs, and later as a session player, passed away Sunday morning at the [...]

All you do to me is talk, talk

On a night partially spent with KennC (my third Threedonia-land real-life encounter) discussing the greatness known as Coach Eric Taylor and Friday Night Lights, couldn’t ask for a better present than the below upon getting home. Thank you, Sports Illustrated.com!!!

(For more FNL news, listen to the show’s executive producer, Peter Berg, give an [...]

Hall of Fame, Corrected (Vol. 36)

Lower-tier suggestion this week, for sure, but one still well-worthy in the accolades department. The Spinners smoothly alternated between silky R&B and funked-up dance classics en route to multiple Top 10 hits, including six Top 5s and the #1 “Then Came You,” consistently bridging the 70s/early 80s pop and urban charts like few others. Though [...]

Fairly Obvious

BarryO, anytime you want to drop the mask and realize you’re not a modern liberal in any way, shape or form, we’re here with open arms (I’ll always have time for more ZZ Top duets, though). Be sure to visit more of the below awesomeness from Andrew Price in the full column over at [...]

Jack’s Back!!!

Phenomenal news from the Warrior Filmmaker camp — Jack Marino returns to LA Talk Radio this weekend!!! On behalf of Jack and his wife Louise, want to thank everyone for their prayers over the last year. Louise’s recovery improves every day, and excited’s the understatement of the year to see how far she’s gotten. [...]

Being a helper, part 2 this week

H/T: Friend’s Facebook page

RIP — Adam Yauch (aka MCA)

The year of too much death (it’s still only May — May!), particularly people in their 40s, continues, this time claiming Beastie Boy Adam Yauch. So much for recent reports his cancer treatments were improving his condition. Rest in peace, MCA. Praying for you, your bandmates, other friends and family.

I know rap doesn’t get [...]

Hall of Fame, Corrected (Vol. 35)

Recent Rolling Stone poll asked readers which solo artist had the best post-band success. With no offense to Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel or Sting (OK, maybe a little offense to post-Ten Summoner’s Tales Sting), my mind went first to Ozzy … then this week’s “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Corrected” nominee.

R.I.P. — Junior Seau

Junior Seau, dead from an apparent suicide. W??? T??? F??? As intimidating as they came and one of the best linebackers of his era, prayers to his family and friends.

Junior Seau, a 43-year old 12-time NFL Pro Bowl linebacker, was found dead today in his home, the result of a gunshot wound, police confirmed.

Be a helper

Little long to make a point, but still pretty damn funny.

New to Netflix Streaming: Non-musical edition (for the most part)

As Threedonia’s eventual hottest vocalist pointed out over the weekend, loads of music-minded nuggets newly added to the Netflix Streaming catalog. In addition to a couple Ted Nugent concerts inexplicably omitted (Full Bluntal Nugity and Sweden Rocks), loads of other tasty treats now at our fingertips. Joining the above, forsooth with some others …

Happy Anniversary, baby …

20 Years Ago This Weekend

In anticipation of this Sunday’s 20th anniversary, it’s been the “L.A. Riot Remembrance Week” on the Southland’s TV stations all week. While a Facebook friend said it pretty well with his “I’m sick of Rodney King getting treated like the Pope,” still think Bill Hicks said it best, however NSFW (or Tracy’s kids).

P.S. [...]
