MetaphysicalRockstar updated

My brother's Web site, MetaphysicalRockstar, has been reworked with a new look and seriously updated content.
Lost of pictures, a few videos and a collection of music.
There's even a page dedicated to the stuff we've done together.
For future reference, MetaphysicalRockstar is linked in the right column of this blog.

Feature presentation

Check out this video of the Winston Churchill Trio rockin' Ben Harper's "Steal My Kisses" at Toxic Bash 2006.

NOW SHOWING

Here are more videos from Toxic Bash, featuring the Winston Churchill Trio.
Barenaked Ladies' "Brian Wilson" and "Good Boy."
My brother e-mailed them to me, and his disclaimer was this:
"They are big files, so they take a little while to load, but it is worth it. Also, the videographer is very amateur, so don't mind the sneezing, talking, and jittery camera work."
We rock!

Online shopping rules!

In case anyone is thinking about what to buy the three Schirripa boys in this household for Christmas, might I suggest anything from this page?

Some days are better than others

There are days when my job is extremely rewarding, some days are boring, some are frustrating.
And then there are a few, just a few, that are ridiculous.
Today, I wrote a story about the Calhoun County Fair, and one of the exhibits is a giant colon.
That's right. A 20-foot by 20-foot model, hand-painted to illustrate all kinds of colon-related illnesses.
It's called "Coco the Colossal Colon."
And I have to crawl through it for a story.
Oh, boy.

The Groin-inator returns to Hockeytown

Great. I thought Eddie Belfour was a bad idea, but it looks like Ken Holland and the rest of the Red Wings management has decided to go down another dark, aged and injury-plagued trail.
Don't get me wrong. Dominik Hasek was one of the game's best gladdened for, like, 15 minutes.
But at 41 years old and already known for season-threatening groin injuries, "The Dominator" may be more of a liability than an asset in net.
I hope Jimmy Howard is ready soon.

Concerts are supposed to be hot and sweaty, right?

The Winston Churchill Trio made its big debut Saturday at Toxic Bash, and I have to say, Tony and I were a hit.
Not nearly as fun as "Justdefy," but still fun.
We played two, three-song sets. The first was "Brian Wilson" by the Barenaked Ladies, "Janine" by Mike Doughty and "Love Song for No One" by John Mayer. The second set was the Barenaked Ladies' "Good Boy," Radiohead's "Karma Police" and Ben Harper's "Steal My Kisses."
We're awesome.
Video to follow soon. (Get on that, Tony!)
