In a sea of pop-rock bands, Green River Ordinance (GRO) could easily be swallowed up in the tempest that is the music industry. Yet the group of twenty-something guys are carving out a niche based on something very familiar—late 90’s pop rock. And they’re very intentional about it, too, citing Third Eye Blind and MatchboxContinue reading “Green River Ordinance: A Beloved and Bedazzling Band”

Voting:: American Idol vs. American President
By Andrew J. Wilhelm Congratulations to the latest “American Idol” David Cook, who received the majority of the 99.7 million votes cast. While the inconvenience of college cut into my T.V. viewing, , I am a big fan of the show. The overall premise of the show, to give an amateur singer the chance ofContinue reading “Voting:: American Idol vs. American President”
David Cook’s Crown
I’ve been watching all season, and I just noticed that DC is either left-handed or likes playing his guitar backwards. The guitar, incidentally, is his brother’s with the initials “AC” (Andrew Cook). David’s brother is the one who got him to try out and has been suffering from cancer. Incidentally, Mama and Papa Cook seemContinue reading “David Cook’s Crown”

American Idol…finally!!!
“American Idol” lost much of its sparkle this week without Brooke White (watch her exit interview)…however, the show was full of laughs. Choosing songs from the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame, the Top 4 sang two classic hits. Except for Jason Castro. I’m not sure what he was doing. Why on earth couldn’t theContinue reading “American Idol…finally!!!”
Brooke’s Time To Go
Haha! I wrote this last night and instead of publishing it just saved it in my drafts! She looks so cute with that guitar, even though her rendition of “Daydream Believer” was kind of off. I yelled, “No!”, threw my notebook in the general direction of the television set, and buried my face into aContinue reading “Brooke’s Time To Go”
It’s A Cook Off!
The very single David Cook. Yes, ladies, David Cook is single. That’s one of the fascinating tidbits viewers picked up with tuning in to “American Idol’s” elimination show tonight. This season viewers can now call in on elimination nights to ask questions to the judges or contestants. Naturally, the questions are always of a seriousContinue reading “It’s A Cook Off!”
A Screechy Night on AI
Poor Simon! I think they should add me to the panel. When I heard that Mariah Carey was this week’s mentor on “American Idol”, I knew it could only spell disaster for most of the contestants. I mean, really, “Mariah Carey Night”??! What were the producers thinking? Or maybe it was a Randy Jackson decisionContinue reading “A Screechy Night on AI”
TiVo’s Predicts Weekly “Idol” Outcome
The title of the post is a bit long, but it’s a lot nicer than “TiVo Predict’s ‘Idol’ Loser”. That just sounds mean! Week after week, TiVo has been able to accurately predict who gets canned on the “American Idol” elimination shows…and tonight’s victim is…SYESHA! (Full story) At least it’s not Brooke…phew! I knew thoseContinue reading “TiVo’s Predicts Weekly “Idol” Outcome”
Idol Gives Back Recap
If like me, you found yourself wasting two and a half hours watching mind-numbing entertainment tonight, you just may have been tuned in to Fox’s “American Idol: Idol Gives Back”. To be fair, it was probably a total of half an hour of entertainment, an hour of in-house ads about charitable orgs and celebrities tellingContinue reading “Idol Gives Back Recap”
