Road Review: Goo Goo Dolls and Switchfoot at Jonas Beach Theater
This show was on Friday July 30th, 2010 at the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach and it was phenomenal. Unfortunately I hit a ton of traffic on the way to the theater and missed most of Switchfoot.

Song Shots: Walking The Dog by fun.
I came across the song, “Walking the Dog” by fun. in a pretty atypical way for myself. Spin Magazine made a compilation for the New Jersey outdoor music festival The Bamboozle. I, being the music whore I am known to be, downloaded this free mix, burned it to a CD and popped it in my car’s radio. I found myself repeating the same song over and over again, something that hardly ever happens. I must admit, any song that has a “nah, nah, nah” chorus makes me weak at the knees. This song has something that a lot of songs don’t have nowadays, coincidentally, fun.
Song Shots: The Lonely Island – Boombox (ft. Julian Casablancas)
Boombox is the latest single for from comedy group The Lonely Island featuring Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. This song is silly, fun and very catchy. The heavy bass mixed with hilarious lyrics is a 1,2 punch of bliss.
