The Terrible Twos debut record was a breath of fresh air in the kid’s music world. Matt Pyror brought his melodic, emo-tinged (I cringe at the mention of the term emo) rock music to the kiddie set with outstanding results. When the new TT’s disc arrived in the mail a few weeks back we...

Boy o boy was Sunday a better day for us in Rhode Island. We decided to spend the afternoon in town, walking the streets, hopping in and out of stores and having a delicious lunch (lobster pizza with roasted red peppers, green onions and a lobster sherry sauce in place of tomato sauce – yum!)....

The Bear and I will be at a rare Monday afternoon kiddie rock show in Philly. Recess Monkey is in town and we’re going down via the train. It should be a treat for the Bear as it’s the same regional rail line her mom-mom takes to our hood from the city. It’s that line that earned her...

OWTK has been dark for it’s longest stretch. That’s not a sign of things to come…quite the opposite actually. It’s been a weird week +. My lower back gave out last Monday causing me much pain and discomfort through Friday. Also on Friday, bizarre joint pain and sweating fits...
