bLISTerd Presents: Our 15 Favorite Arcade Machines

Many moons ago (by which we mean until the mid-90s), there existed mystical Shangri-La’s in shopping malls all across Americas, where quarters flowed, laughter resounded, and countless beefs were settled by joysticks and four buttons. Where the latest games were at your beck and call, and where no one asked for your ID before playing Mortal Kombat. We speak, of course, about the long forgottenarcade. Okay, maybe they weren’t quite as great as we remembered, but if there are three things […]

We Saw It!: Chickenfoot at the Houston Bayou Music Center 5/29/12

On Tuesday, May 29th, Chickenfoot rocked the Bayou Music Center in downtown Houston, Texas.  I was there.  The short version of my take on the show is this:  Holy.  Crap.  It’s almost 48 hours later, and I’m still dumbfounded by the show that I saw Tuesday night.  Chickenfoot showed up fully prepared to defend the label of “supergroup.”  Not that any of these guys really need to…they’ve all had superstar careers, and don’t require anyone else’s approval.  Nonetheless, they appeared […]

Spin Cycle: Flying Colors’ “Flying Colors”
