The Ten Commandments of Rockfest: 1. Thou shalt pick up thy brother if he falls. 2. Thou shalt drink one water for every two beers. 3. Thou shalt apply sunscreen so thou won't become the Rock Lobster. 4.

  A number of things plopped into my inbox, across my RSS reader and into and out of my pants today, so I thought I'd share with a quick little mixed-bag post here at the end of another day in Pitch-land. Bill Brownlee is jazz hero man of the day. Not only did the local blogger write this killer review of the People's Liberation Big Band's Battleship Potemkin project, he also debuted a jazz events calendar that's an offshoot of his jazz blog Plastic Sax. We don't have a review of Cake's sold-out

However, you can check out the video below and see several personalities from 98.9 The Rock belt out a Journey cover (top-selling song on iTunes ever, by the way) with Steel Panther while various sundry ladies in tight clothing gyrate nearby. Man...this kind of makes that free s
