On this day in 2008 some ones and zeros were uploaded to a vacant outpost on the world wide web and thus, rather inauspiciously, www.threedonia.com was born! As with most offspring, threedonia has developed quite differently than Floyd, Chuck and I foresaw, gazing through the celebratory cigar smoke on that storied day.

Set out to make a case for INXS’ rightful and beyond-deserved place in rock’s history for this week’s TIUT, but between Michael Been’s passing and, much more personally, one of my best friends apparently losing his mind before going MIA towards the end of last week, just hasn’t been a happy time of late. Sure, [...]

Coincidental reminder with recent viewings of Drugstore Cowboy and Cliffhanger how I haven’t seen Max Perlich, one of my favorite younger character actors from the late 80s/early 90s (read, my age at the time), too much in recent years, at least since Blow. Always loved his nervous, hyper-kinetic/wired and/or high performances (or all three in [...]

In another word: idiots!
Christina Hendricks is putting her amazing Monroe-esque curves to work for London Fog. The titian-tressed “Mad Men” looker appears in a new series of ads for the company’s fall 2010 campaign. But before you decide that your life won’t be complete until you own a leopard-print trench coat like [...]

Uncle Teddy sure does. The loony left can say what they want about The Nuge. He doesn’t care and those on our side of the aisle love him all the more for it.

There are too many tales of musicians taken too soon, from Otis Redding, Randy Rhoads and too damn many members of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup (stupid airplanes) to Frank Zappa, Joey Ramone and John Coltrane (stupid cancer). Don’t even get me started on other greats like Bon Scott, Layne Staley or Michael Hutchence — [...]

Me being one of (if not the) staunchest supporters of Joe Paterno’s coaching till he damn well feels like riding into the Happy Valley sunset (and they are beautiful), wondering how my polar opposite Mr. Rufus T (and the rest of Threedonia) feels about the great (and same age as JoePa) Vin Scully’s return to [...]

Not bad. It only took John Mellencamp less than two years to shake the Bush Derangement Syndrome out of his system and get back to doing what he did oh-so-well for most of my life: leave the overt (and very clumsily and ignorantly written) politics out of the lyrics, sing and entertain.

It’s The Expendables week at Chez Porvaznik (yes, milady is almost as psyched to see it as I), and to get in the right frame of mind, alternating between Stallone and non-Sly 80s/early 90s action flicks. Fun walk down memory lane, too, often forgetting how cheese-tastically great the no-apologies dialogue was, notably this (edited for [...]

As it is with so much in life, not many bands make it to the top of the charts. Little luck, decent chops, usually some modicum of vocal talent (though I hate to admit it, even Neil Young), persistence, paying some dues. That’s right, having never gotten sucked into the American Idol, lightning-in-a-bottle phenomenon, I [...]

Ultimately, the only person who knows what’s going on in Andrew Breitbart’s head about the Shirley Sherrod/NAACP video is Andrew Breitbart (and probably his super-cool wife), and, while I won’t argue the guy has done amazing things standing up to the multi-pronged leftist attack dogs, still does not an amazing man make. However, beyond glad [...]
