So Long And Thanks For All The Booze…

Posted: 1st April 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

It began as a pipe dream.  3 pals who wanted to do more personality-based content on the air took to the internet to entertain themselves and perhaps a few others.  The place was Richmond VA.  The station was WDYL.  Charlie was the morning guy, Fletcher was afternoons and Ed drove the van.  As is the […]

Men On A Mission

Posted: 4th March 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t give a shit anymore BUT Jim and I are working on doing a new podcast in the near future.  We had plans for Sunday until stupid Jim got distracted by free meat.  So please, bear with us as we figure it all out.  In the meantime enjoy this […]

A-Z, 1-2-3 Round 2: Korn

Don’t even try to lie.  You know damn well you owned a Korn record.  You might not have embraced them as tightly as some did but you rocked out to “Blind” or “Got the Life” at some point.  You might not have gone to the Family Values Tour but you probably enjoyed “A.D.I.D.A.S.”  So Nu-Metal/Rap-Metal/Mostly […]

Blast From The Past: Blow Up Santoro?!

Posted: 3rd February 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed, Podcasts

At some point The Sandbox did a week of Mega Robo Thunder Phone Queries about blowing up a Boston icon and then asking what we should replace it with.  After going through icons like Fenway we found our way to Henry Santoro.  Here are the results.

Another Scottish band that I like.  I am not working a theme here it just happened.

A-Z, 1-2-3 Round 2: Idlewild

Posted: 2nd February 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

Idlewild are Scottish.  I like their music.  That’s it.

What happens when the frontman for a post-hardcore band (Glassjaw) wants to get his groove on?  Head Automatica, that’s what.  Daryl Palumbo created this outlet for his work that didn’t fit into the Glassjaw sound.  After releasing Decadence in2004 and Popiganda in 2006 the band is set to release Swan Damage this year.

I came across the Get Up Kids in 1999 when I was working at WVCW at VCU.  I remember seeing the video for “Action and Action” somewhere and I was taken instantly.  Weezer was on hiatus on the Kids filled that whole in my heart.  I ran out and purchased “Something to Write Home About” […]

Ah, the last day that The Sandbox was on the air.  Has it really been that long?  It was December 23rd, 2009 and we had assembled a group of loyal Sandboxers in the studio for our 3rd (and final) Holiday Hootenanny.  Of course, we didn’t know it would be our last day on the air […]

A-Z, 1-2-3 Round 2: Face To Face

Posted: 27th January 2011 by ed in Blogs, Ed

Face To Face has been kicking it since 1991.  I would guess I found them a few years after the fact when my pal Larry let me borrow Big Choice.  This was the period in my life where I started to look for music outside of what was on pop radio.  For whatever reason I […]
