Jack's Last Bullet LIVE @ 710 Beach Club: THE...
We call it the Redemption Show because our first performance at the 710 was a disaster. During our first show at the 710, we were told our set would be around midnight. We got hammered in hopes of sobering up by that time. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were forced to hit the stage a couple hours earlier than we expected, and the result was horrendous: slurred words, everyone talking at...
TOP 2'S DAY (Ep. 2): VALENTINE'S EDITION
I like a good list. More specifically, a good countdown. Top 50 Moments on Reality TV. Top 10 Most Venomous Animals. Top 100 One-Hit Wonders of the 90’s. 1000 ways to die. It’s always a round number, I’ve noticed, ending in either a zero or a five, with the exception being Top 3. Top 3 Favorite Actors (Johnny Depp, Jim Carrey, Paul Rudd). Top 3 Favorite Chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, Theodore).

Do you believe in it?
How can you not when you’re breathing it?
How can you not when it...
Top 2's Day (Ep. 1): Black History Month
I like a good list. More specifically, a good countdown. Top 40 TRL Moments. Top 10 Dumbest Criminals. Top 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 90’s. It’s always a round number, I’ve noticed, ending in either a zero or a five, with the exception being Top 3. Top 3 Favorite Movies (Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, A Clockwork Orange, Pulp Fiction). Top 3 Favorite Books...
GRACENOTES: Week of February 5, 2012
I am Catholic. Baby, I was born this way. No really I was pretty much born into it and raised to follow the faith. But even as I got older and was made aware of the dark sides of my religion, the Crusades and even more unsettling (and disgusting) the stigma of molestation created by wayward priests who buckled down under the pressure of celibacy, I couldn’t help but acknowledge the beauty in the...
