Goodbye 2010

So everyone's done their "wrap" of 2010 so I might as well share my own.

Truth be told my 2010 started much like my 2009 had gone, nothing to brag about. But things changed as quickly as a thunderstorm appears on a hot summers day. One of my closest friends since college got engaged and kept his word and asked me to be his best man. I'm still amazed and honored by that at this time and the wedding was two months ago.

I also saw my brother's heart broken by someone who swore they'd never do such a thing. But my brother is a stronger spirit and soul than the person who broke his heart and has closed that chapter and is possibly on a new chapter with someone new.

My brother and I have done something I never dreamed we would attempt and that's own and operate our own radio station (Bullspike Radio) and are continuing our effort to fight Muscular Dystrophy with our fundraising group Rock Against Dystrophy.

I began to realize my time on this earth as I attended a funeral of a high school friend. Accel, you are not forgotten and will never be. And that was the followed by reuniting with a group of high school friends that I occasionally wondered about.

I've also added friends to my already huge list of friends and had those who I've considered friends become family (unofficially) that I always knew they were.

For once in more years than I wish to remember I am financially comfortable and can thank my cousin Jon for making that possible. To be working is something that I had tried too many years to attain but with no luck. I can now look forward to things instead of having to wait for things to be planned out perfectly.

Health wise it was a great year, minus my brief hospital stay after telethon for exhaustion and dehydration. I burned myself out with so many things by Labor Day that my body just couldn't handle and said "enough". Sometimes we all need that to realize to pace ourselves.

I finally got the tattoo I've wanted to get since I was eighteen and having my grandfather's nickname for me on my arm has brought a sense of calm and sense that anything is possible for my future just as long as I try and continue to be true to myself.  Plus the addition of our pups Theo and Harley have added that extra bit of love, nothing like a dog saying hello in the morning to start your day.

If 2011 can continue on the current flow of things for the most part than I'll be content.

How Apple Should Freshen Up

The holidays are just around the corner, or here and gone depending on when your reading this, and everyone is going tech crazy. When talking tech there's one name topping everyone's list; Apple. Whether it's an iPhone, iPad, or iTouch doesn't matter. Customers want it or other companies are trying to duplicate it. But is it worth spending on last years crop or wait and hope Apple freshens up these red hot items.

The first item that is one everyone's list is Apple's iPad, quite possibly the most sought after tablet on the market but was stale upon it's release. For Apple to release a tablet without a camera of any kind made the iPad an automatic no buy on my list and keeps it there. Not to mention that the pricing on it being absurd. So how does Apple correct this stale upon release item?

For starters add the same duel camera system that the current iPhone has. This will double the camera function of other companies tablet's already out now. Secondly the size is still a bit clunky compared to other tablets. By shrinking it a bit it'll be that much easier to carry around while still being large than the iPhone.

And while we are mentioning the iPhone it would be amiss of me to forget how it's latest version is nothing but a glitz and glamour version of it's previous version. The iPhone 4 wasn't completely stale upon release but it was close when compared to the iPhone 3GS. Updating graphics, redesigning the case and adding a new feature that can't be used all the time is far from groundbreaking. But how should Apple improve upon this so that the iPhone 5 (due in June 2011) is a fresh piece of equipment?

The first thing is update the memory capacity. The latest version of the iTouch (basically iPhone minus phone feature) has a 64GB memory version and even larger. It's time the iPhone's memory went higher than 32GB. Two years ago when it was just apps and music that was good, but now with books and movies being added it's time to jump up drastically in it's memory. Secondly, FaceTime needs to be useable without WiFi. What good is having a feature that only good half the time, that's like having a stereo with only half your speakers working. The last thing that needs a minor tweak is the OS. While we are all happy about being able to multitask on the iPhone we should not have every app automatically tossed into the running in background multitask mode. It's annoying that if you go into an app once every few days that you got to remove it from the multitask bar so it doesn't drain your battery. Can't be that hard to do, just make it a drag and drop option like the folders.

So if you didn't already run out to buy an iPad to be one of the cool kids, don't buy it cause it's stale and the fresh crop (2nd generation) will be here soon. As for the iPhone 4, if you have a working iPhone 3GS just wait until June for the iPhone 5. If your iPhone is an older version the decision is yours. But don't wait too long as June isn't as far as you think and you don't want to buy something stale when the fresh crop isn't too far off.

Has The Changing Of The Guard Begun?

The rock and metal community has lots of colors that are flown and some have been at the forefront of the battle to support it for years. Those bands include Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, KISS, Scorpions, Judas Priest and several others depending on your preferences. And for years those were the bands we all look for on tours and such. But could that guard be changing to the next generation? Scorpions announced their Farewell Tour this year and today Judas Priest has announced that 2011 starts the beginning of their Farewell Tour, which is rocking the rock and metal community as we speak.

First reactions I'm noticing from people online is "yeah, sure. It's a PR move." And I can't blame those speculating about this announcement because we all know how KISS, a band I am a HUGE supporter of, announced a Farewell Tour 10-years ago and yet they have toured several times since. KISS even put out a new studio album this year (Sonic Boom) and they are already talking about doing another. So the argument can be made that Judas Priest might be doing the same thing.

But if you know them and followed them over the years you know that Judas Priest does what they say they are going to do. When they first announced that they were going to do a concept album everyone joked and said that it wouldn't be because concept albums don't usually work for rock and metal bands nowadays. Yet in the summer of 2008 they delivered with Nostradamus, which two years later is still a questionable album from them. So if they say that after 40-years of screaming for vengeance and making sure all those in the rock and metal community are united that Judas Priest is calling it quiets then I say believe it.

This rocker is anxiously awaiting the US dates as I'll be hitting whatever the local destination is by hook or by crook. And I'm left wondering two things; who'll be next of the guard to bid farewell and is the next generation after them ready to take the reigns?

A Change At THOR

I know your first thought, why am I writing about a station I'm no longer a part of?  The Answer is simple; I'm still friends with people at THORradio.com and a bit of news has come my way that I feel should be shared.

Mike Sisco [A.K.A. The Sisco Kid] has stepped down as the CEO of THOR.  I wanted to share this info and thank Mike for giving me the opportunity to do a radio show and helping bring THE ASYLUM to the masses.  And if karaoke is your thing and your in the NY City area keep a look out for Sisco Kid Entertainment, the best karaoke guy I know of with the biggest selection of songs to choose from.

Thanks Mike, horns up!

On Cruise Control For A Bit

As you may or may not know by now, I was hospitalized last week for a few days for exhaustion and dehydration. I overdid things and forgot to make time to relax and eat during my work on the NY segment of the MDA Telethon. I have been home since Friday and am regaining my strength slowly.

Because I am committed to several things in the upcoming weeks I am putting THE ASYLUM on a break so that I can rest and still make those commitments which include The Official Launch Party for Bullspike Radio on September 23rd at The Trash Bar in Brooklyn and Rock Against Dystrophy at Cha Cha's in Coney Island on October 2nd.

I have an episode of THE ASYLUM in the vault. I am hoping to be back on air in full or partial within the next few weeks. Once I know I will post details and keep listening to BullspikeRadio.com as it's not stopping cause I gotta hit cruise control. Jay Scorpion and the gang are still going strong and I'm still there behind the scenes.

Thanks for the well wishes last week and I'll see you on September 23rd at The Trash Bar and Rock Against Dystrophy in Coney Island on October 2nd.

Telethon Is My End Of Summer Tradition

Every year people make plans for vacations and barbecues to end their summers and I just sit and listen to those plans while secretly praying for a cloudy, disgusting Labor Day Weekend. Why do I pray to the metal gods to clouds? So that people will be more inclined to stay home in front of their televisions searching for something to watch and hope that it's the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon. And that while they watch they are inclined to make a donation for a cause that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

Ever since the age of 4 my Labor Day weekend has been spent in a TV studio as MDA has gathered people who care to put on a show and inform people about a disease that's been around for decades and ask people to donate any amount they can afford to give in the hopes of a cure being discovered. And in those 26 years I've been part of every aspect of it from being a goodwill ambassador as a child to part of the production crew now. From being a young child just asking for people to help those like me to producing videos that share the lives in individuals with Muscular Dystrophy so that the viewers can see how the money they've donated over the years helps individuals with Muscular Dystrophy lead a life as close to normal as possible.

And I sit here now writing this on the eve of the Telethon and try to conserve my energy for another Labor Day weekend of working to make sure more people know about MDA and what it does. Making sure more money is raised towards finding a cure, towards helping a family afford a wheelchair, towards giving a child with a form of Muscular Dystrophy a week of fun at MDA Summer Camp, and so much more that I'd be here for days writing everything. And I think about how tired I will be by the end of the show and I can't think of anything else I'd want to do this weekend.

Barbecues happen all summer long and vacations can happen anytime of year. So why not join my Labor Day weekend tradition and be part of the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon by watching it, making a donation and telling your friends and neighbors to do the same. This is a tradition that matters and can make a difference in a persons life.

Check your local listings for time and channel or go to www.MDA.org and make your donation now.

Things That Make Summer Summer

We're now in the month of August, some even considered it the dog days of summer, and while I'm amazed how fast the year is going it also got me thinking. Every assumes it's Summer when the pools open and it's warm enough to barbecue. But there are pools open year round and with the right crazy family member you can barbecue in the snow if you wanted to. To me it's the little things that often go unnoticed.

First is something I'm doing while writing this very piece, watching "Jaws" on cable. In the past few years it seems clockwork that once summer hits this movie lands in rotation on every cable channel possible. It was originally released in theaters in the summer and just screams summer. Travel to a local island, swimming, sailing, and of sharks. I add sharks to that list because it's only in the summer that people worry about sharks; maybe it goes hand in hand with the movie airing.

Then there's the movie "The Sandlot", which screams summer. Not because it's about baseball, the worlds slowest sport after golf and curling, but because it's about kids spending their summer vacation enjoying themselves and being kids. Kids out playing and having fun is what summer was about for so many of us yet nowadays kids would sooner sit in the AC or have parents who schedule every minute of their days off with "educational" or "enriching" things to do. Kids playing in yards, parks, and streets is very enriching for them and defines what summer is.

And while I mention streets you have to include music in the streets. Whether it's a free show for the public, coming out of someones car or house, or your neighbor at the beach you are surrounded by music in the summer. And it doesn't matter if it's a genre you like as it sets the mood and time in your memory. I can't tell how how many times I've heard a song on the radio or stereo in the middle of a winter snow storm that reminds me of a warm summer day from a time gone by.

So while your out and about bitching about how hot it is, take a moment and appreciate the subtle things that make summer summer. After all it won't be long before we're bombarded with holiday specials and cold weather and you'll be wishing it was summer again.

iPhone 4G Can Be Skipped

Last summer I joined the technologically advanced world of smart phones when I bought the iPhone 3GS.  The total package made financial sense, finally, and I jumped at getting it.  It's a year later and Apple has announced what the iPhone 4G is going to feature and when it's going to drop.  And even though I am very eligible to upgrade, the truth is that it's not worth it and I'll explain my reasoning.

The first thing I will say before going on is none of my reasons for not upgrading are connected to AT&T.  Everyone has been quick the bash AT&T and it's service to iPhone users and make that the backbone complaint.  What people need to realize that if one of the other companies had the exclusive rights to the iPhone as long as AT&T has then that network would be suffering from the same issues that AT&T is working on correcting.  So anyone who uses AT&T as a complaint is someone with just flat out dislike for the company.

As to my reasons to why you might want to skip the iPhone 4G, starting point would be the software update.  The long awaited multi-tasking is coming with iOS4.  Now you can multi-task, make folders to organize your apps instead of searching through pages to find the one you want, and personalize your iPhone with a background image.  But this software is going to be a free download and will work on the iPhone 3GS.  Sure the newer phone has the 4G chip [made by Apple], but I doubt it's that much faster than the 3G.

Second is the introduction of the front facing camera and the video conferencing feature that Apple is calling Face Time.  This feature was leaked a few months ago and upon reading up on it the truth is that it's all hype.  Face Time can only be used over WiFi and to iPhone 4G users.  So if your not near WiFi and/or the person you want to conference with does not have the iPhone 4G, then this feature is useless.  Plus it will be months if not a full year before app developers will be able to figure out how to properly and creatively use the front facing camera.

And there is NO memory increase with the iPhone 4G.  Last year the iPhone jumped from 16-GB to 32-GB, which was the big selling point for me last summer.  As Apple went through their presentation Monday introducing a better still camera, HD video capabilities with iMovies [editing software], and the addition of the iBookstore, we all figured a increase in memory was naturally coming.  But when the announced the memory size it was still just a 32-GB maximum.  How can you add HD capabilities with editing software and the availability of downloading books and NOT increase the memory size.  By not expanding to storage size to at least 64-GB is as big a lapse in judgment as leaving multi-tasking absent for so long.

The iPhone 4G has been overhyped and had features like the gyroscope tossed in to distract people from it's minor differences from to iPhone 3GS in hopes that those obsessed with "shiny and new" will run out to buy it and realize afterwards that they jumped the gun.  If your iPhone is first or second generation look into the iPhone 4G if you need to upgrade.  But if your a current iPhone 3GS owner, like myself, wait to see if a 64-GB or bigger version is announced or wait until the 2011 iPhone is released.

Do It At Release or Wait

Everyone who loves music has learned the best and most opportune times are to buy albums.  And we often wait, sometimes impatiently, for new material to be released.  Within the last 10-years bands began doing double releases; releasing a new album as a single album or as a deluxe/special edition that comes with bonus material.  Most music fans will buy the regular version while those obsessed with music, like myself, will spend the extra cash and get the deluxe/special edition for a few dollars more.  The versions of the album have been released on the same day until recent.

Bands are now starting to bother me with the deluxe/special editions by waiting months or even a year to release an album's second version.  When Killswitch Engage first released their 2006 album "As Daylight Dies" I made sure to buy it the week it came out as I am a fan of theirs [thanks to my brother] and buying a CD the week it's released guarantees a sale price.  Then a short time after they re-released the album as a special edition and only added one track; their cover of Dio's "Holy Diver".  I was beyond annoyed by this because I refused to repurchase the album despite how much I liked the cover.  And it's only gotten worse since.

In This Moment released their sophmore album "The Dream" in 2008 and then re-released it in 2009 as "The Dream (The Ultra Violent Edition) with two new tracks and radio edits of songs on the first version.  Why do a second disc of material as a deluxe/special edition after it's been released?  Why not just wait to release both versions at the same time or just hold the new stuff until the next album is released.  And it's still happening as just found out today that Lacuna Coil re-released their 2009 album "Shallow Life" as a special edition version in February of this year containing a disc of extra music and alternate cover art.  And I am actually thinking about buying it because I am a huge fan of theirs since discovering them.

But should I or any fan be tempted or even forced to buy a new version months later just because they feel like trying to pump more cash out of us? HELL NO!  While we do have the availability of iTunes to fill in gaps of bonus material from albums we already own, we should not have to do this for bands we like and support.  If a band is going to release a deluxe/special edition of an album then do it when it's scheduled for released and hold the stuff you come up with after it's released for the next new album.

THE ASYLUM's New Home

Well my lunatics the time has come to announce the new home for your favorite internet radio show for EVERYTHING rock and metal. THE ASYLUM has relocated and is now part of those required to control the beast. And that beast is Bullspike Radio.

What's the most common illness you tend to get?

Nowadays it's mostly allergies but when I was a kid I would get pnuemonia 7 times a year until I was 13. Why you ask only until I was 13? Well that's when my father decided the quit smoking resulting in us finding out that my pnuemonia as a child was cause from second hand smoke. Think about that the next time you smokers go to light up around people who don't smoke.

Should 'Scream' Be Ozzy's Last?

I don't think that there is a person above the age of 14 in the world that doesn't know the name Ozzy Osbourne, or to some just Ozzy.  Whether it's MTV Generation people who watched the first family-based reality series "The Osbournes'" or the rock and metal heads that know everything from his career or the drunk girls at karaoke who attempt his song "Crazy Train", his name has as much notoriety as the President....if not more.  And I wonder if his soon to be released album "Scream" should be his last.

The world first got to know Ozzy Osbourne as the front man of Black Sabbath back in 1968 and had no clue what the metal gods had thrust upon it.  Even back then he was hard to understand and that was when he was just drinking heavily.  And in 42-years in the music industry he has been kicked out of the band that many believe he made famous, started a solo career that is still going, lost a close friend and world class guitarist (Randy Rhodes), done more drugs than you can imagine, started the biggest metal fest in the states (Ozzfest), sobered up, done TV, toured the world several times over, AND recently a bestselling author with his autobiography "I Am Ozzy".  And that's all off the top of my head and all of those are achievements even some celebrities can only dream about, let alone the everyday working man.  But all that has played Hell on Ozzy in ways no one can understand yet everyone expects him to be the "Iron Man" he sang about years ago.


I am a strong believer that if someone feels they can still be at the top of their game that retirement should not be thought about one bit.  However there has been more than enough proof in recent years that Ozzy should be thinking about packing it in.  We all know the fiasco between his wife Sharon and Iron Maiden a few years back on Ozzfest when Sharon expected Maiden to double their set time on the nights Ozzy was too exhausted to perform.  Which we all now know was Sharon's fault for booking too many back to back dates that year.  And if that's not enough for you than let's go to the co-headline tour Ozzy did in late 2007/early 2008 with Rob Zombie, a tour I went to where I saw both live for the first time.  And truth be told I felt bad for Ozzy that night and was disappointed because you could barely understand him and after every song he would rush to the drum riser and take a hit from little oxygen containers.  I felt like there should have been subtitles on the video screens for those that didn't know the songs.  Is this the way a legend is supposed to go out?  Barely able to perform and possibly pass out on a stage in front of thousands?

 I have nothing but respect for Ozzy and dream of one day soon meeting the legend but I truly feel it's time he says his goodbye to the fans.  Make the next Ozzfest his last to perform in, do one big tour hitting all the major cities and bow out on top.  It's better to go out with a "Scream" than go out collapsed in a heap.

Do you have a song that has your name mentioned in it? (e.g., David Bowie - Space Oddity, "Major Tom")

The one song I always get connected to is Turbo Lover by Judas Priest. It drives me nuts cause everybody that first hears my name is Turbo come out with "Oh Turbo Lover by Judas Priest must be your favorite song" and it just drives me nuts.

South Park was censored by their network, Comedy Central for depicting the Prophet Muhammad, which is against Islamic doctrine. Jon Stewart commented in his show that this behavior "let the terrorists win" by eroding free speech. What do you think?

I think censorship itself is against free speech. Words like fuck and bitch are said daily in households and on streets in front of people of all ages yet certain words like those can only be said on cable movie channels or satellite and Internet radio.
I think everyone in societies all around the world have things that they are too uptight about on a mass puic outlet like TV/Radio when those things are part of everyday society. I'm a strong believe that if you don't like something don't look, watch or listen and let other decide for themselves instead of deciding for them.

Do you think communication via text message and IM is more likely to cause conflict than it would face-to-face?

ABSOLUTELY! Text messages sometimes need planning because things being read can be interpreted wrong. Sarcasm can be misread as an insult via text because a key part of a sarcastic remark is the tone in a persons voice.
There are certain things that should NOT be discussed via text. I've heard stories of friendships ending over a misinterpreted text conversion.

Ask me anything

At what point would you un-friend someone you know IRL from Facebook?

For me to un-friend someone would require some major league betrayal. In the years since MySpace and Facebook have been created I have not unfriended anyone because no one has betrayed me or my trust in any major way.
I did have someone unfriend me all because I wouldn't choose sides in a break-up cause I felt I could be friends with both individuals. When I told that to this person they unfriended me and I haven't heard from them since. Their loss, not mine.

What's your weakness? Your kink? Your passion? Whatever you want to call it. What is it in a person that just gets to you. Personality wise, looks wise, whatever. What makes you interested and want to know more?

I'm assuming that by this you mean what would get me interested in a woman. While some guys will say it's a certain part of the body that does it for them, me I look at the whole picture. I've seen some woman with amazing bodies but not a pretty face and I've seen the opposite. If I see a woman whose overall look is "perfect" then that's part one.
Part two is the attitude she puts out. If she carries herself like she God's gift to men and her shit don't stink then I don't care how pretty she is cause that kind of attitude leads to trouble. If she has a attitude of I'm know no ones perfect so I know I'm no goddess then that's part two.
Hope that answers it, if not just ask more.

What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?

During hockey season I watch or listen to every NY Rangers game. I enjoy watching movies; mostly horror, adventure, comedy and any combination of those. I love music even in my free time, music is key to life. And I go to karaoke whenever possible, great rock and metal selection where I go.

Iron Maiden & Dream Theater - North American Summer Tour!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 4, 2010

DREAM THEATER TO SUPPORT IRON MAIDEN ON NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER TOUR

TO PLAY NYC’S FAMED MADISON SQUARE GARDEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR CAREER

New York, NY:
Prog rock/metal institution DREAM THEATER will spend their summer supporting Iron Maiden on the band’s month-long tour of major US and Canadian markets. The tour launches on June 9 and runs through July 20, and includes a stop at the storied Madison Square Garden in NYC, marking the first time in a lengthy and respected career that Dream Theater have played the world’s most famous arena.

This tour will mark another milestone in Dream Theater’s history, which continues to expand and evolve twenty-five years deep.

Of touring with Iron Maiden in North America, drummer Mike Portnoy said, “It is a bit of a dream come true for us. After 25 years together, at this stage in our career, there's honestly only three bands Dream Theater would consider opening for and Maiden is one of them. It is an absolute honor. Through the years, we've done many one-off shows with Maiden and they've almost all been overseas. It is very exciting to finally be doing a full tour with them and on our side of the pond no less. These are gonna be amazing shows that the fans won't want to miss. Up the f***ing irons!”

Playing MSG for the first time is also a huge accomplishment for the band and they are thrilled about the prospect. “Dream Theater has achieved so many dreams through the years, from playing the Budokan in Tokyo to Wembley Arena in London to Radio City Music Hall in NYC,” Portnoy recalled. “But the one remaining dream that has eluded us through all of these years was to play at Madison Square Garden. Well, on July 12, along with Iron Maiden, that dream will finally be fulfilled.”

Guitarist John Petrucci was equally stoked about the MSG play, saying, “I am unbelievably excited to be finally playing Madison Square Garden, and with the almighty Maiden to boot! They have been heroes to the band since the beginning and are iconic in our eyes. There is nothing like achieving success and recognition in your own country, in your own city. It's going to be an incredible night for sure.”

Portnoy has proof of this career-long dream, saying, “About a month ago my family and I were watching a video of my first band Intruder from back in 1983, and in the video before the show, I was interviewed and asked what my dream goal was. I responded ‘to play the Garden.’It took almost 30 years, but it’s surreal that I will now be able to check it off the list.”

Dream Theater’s Black Clouds & Silver Linings was released in 2009 and debuted at #6 on the Billboard Top 200 Sales chart.

Tour dates for the Iron Maiden/Dream Theater run are as follows:

Wed June 9th - Dallas, TX - Superpages.com Center
