Friday LinkFrogging – 4/22/11

Good Friday to you all. We're back to once again take a trip to the corners of the internet, both sacred and profane. Why?  Because its what we do.  We're digital explorers.  We bring 'em back alive and let you view from behind the glass. Earlier this week, I was lamenting to the missus that I …

Five Underrated Songs of the 80s

The other night I took my wife to see Duran Duran for her birthday.  She was a huge Duranie (Durany?  Durani?) back in the day and never got a chance to see them live.  Wednesday night they played a small venue here in Houston and we took in the show. Let me just say that …

Friday LinkFrogging – 8/6/10

undeniable Welcome to August dear reader(s). Kids getting ready to go back to school. The NFL is back in training camp. And, infectious summer pop songs getting stuck in your head. Its a tradition.  It happens every year.  Some bright poppy song transcends its inate mediocrity to become the anthem for the summer. Katrina, I'm …

Friday LinkFrogging – 7/30/10

    Maybe Nelly was right... Its hot out there kids. Summer is in full swing and its getting harder and harder to cool off.   Its also been a hot month for us here at GonzoGeek.  Our traffic went through the roof thanks to folks looking for pictures of Katherine Heigl.  We thank each and every one …

Big Lots Cinema – Pauly Shore is Dead

I've previously written a series of reviews of Hard Case Crime books I found in a pile at the nearby Big Lots store.  I dig Big Lots because you can usually find interesting things at a clearance price.  Really clearance.  Down to the bare concrete pricing (that's for all my Louisiana peeps...WHO DAT!). They've recently …

As is the tradition around here, before we begin our journey we must introduce this week's tour guide (also known in these parts as …

It’s a Work – Anvil: The Story of Pro Wrestling

This past Tuesday night, I went to Charlotte’s newest live-music venue- the Fillmore. Anvil was performing and this past year’s documentary, ‘Anvil: The Story of Anvil’, depicting their history and struggles to achieve rock stardom had won me over; not with their music, but because these men have marched thanklessly to their own thrash metal …

Return to the Land Before Blogs

I've been pondering this post for a while and given this week's preponderence of music related posts, this seemed like a good time. So, jump in the GonzoGeek Wayback Machine and journey back with me to 1985 won't you?   1985 - New Coke, Reagan, Live Aid, NES, Calvin & Hobbes, Windows 1.0, Back to …
