How about a $5,000 tattoo that took two entire offseasons to complete? The tattoo on Hinske’s back, pictured left, was just completed this winter. “It’s just traditional Japanese styling tattoo,” he said. “I got a tattoo of a cross on my left arm when my grandfather died and I liked it so then I got one of a dragon on my other arm. I just liked the way it looked. Then I got addicted to it and I couldn’t stop. I had my arms and chest plates done so I just wanted to tie it all together so it looked like 0ne big piece. So I just got this big Japanese warrior and this snake wrapped around with the snake’s mouth open, with wind and clouds and stuff. It’s pretty cool.” Hinske, who was signed as a free agent from the New York Yankees, said there is no special significance to the design. The outline and shading for the tattoo was done last winter. All of the coloring was done this winter, in nine or 10 settings covering 30 hours Altogether, it was 18 to 20 sittings covering 45 hours and totaling $5,000, paid to the order of the appropriately named, “Living Canvas” in Tempe, Ariz. When asked if getting all of those tattoos hurt, Hinske said, “It’s hard to explain. It’s annoying. It’s like you’re getting stung by a bee for three or four hours. “It was fun. But it was a lot of work. I finished all the color this offseason and by the end I was ready to stop. A lot of pain.” Did his wife, Kathryn, object? “I would call my wife an enabler,” he said. “She likes the way I look. She said, ‘Do whatever you want, it’s your body.’” --------------------------------- Very similar to the Beast From the East cover; I suppose there are A LOT of variations on this traditional Japanese tattoo.

Hard to narrow it down to just one, but several indies that I really like (off the top of my head) are : Blind Gypsy – Never Coming Home Dirty Blond - Cardboard KK Wilde – Rock n Roll Mr. Hyde – S/T Nova Rex - Blow Me Away Original Sinners - Love or the Money Sage - Luv n' Lust Taken – Smell the Groove Tammer Laine - Let's Get It On! Tattoo - Kings of the White Trash Neighborhood Wicked Kin – Born Killers Good stuff!

Love all of Sammy's output, but when he and Eddie Van Halen came together, it was lightning in a bottle. 5150, along with Dokken's BFTA, was a huge part of the soundtrack to my teenage life.

Kate Hudson

Ah yes.... Kelly Carlson (Nip/Tuck)

I'm glad to see I'm not alone. I was starting to question myself. Ordered my copy from CD Baby last night; good stuff!

Glad you like it I actually had the idea for this back around the New Year, and finally got around to throwing it together.... whew! Here are my picks: Dokken - of course Def Leppard - neither one is exactly a peach, but I just can not get into the new Jovi stuff at all Winger - love Tesla too, but Winger is more consistent throughout IMO Crue - one of my faves from 08 Brother Firetribe - my favorite band to emerge in the last few years Foreigner - Liked Journey just fine, but like Foreigner a bit more HoL Cartesian Dreams - Not even close for me; Cartesian Dreams by leaps and bounds or CtMK Danger Danger - enjoyed M/V, but Revolve is a monster Metallica - just can't get into Megadeth that much KISS - Thought Sonic Boom was phenomenal, whereas Black Ice was just more standard fare from AC/DC Heaven & Hell - By MILES over JP....MILES The Last Vegas - Just a hair better than Buckcherry Whitesnake - not even close.... W.E.T. - a few more quality tunes than the WoA release, but it was really good too Gotthard - another solid release Papa Roach - really good modern rock Crooked X - both groups show alot of potential Part two ready to go when this runs its course.

2008 & 2009 were back to back excellent years for the music we all love, and to that end, I decided to put together a coupla polls pitting some of the best from each year against each other. Some of the match-ups will make perfect sense, while others... eh, maybe not so much, but I think it'll be fun.

http://bulletins.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus...geID=6637314346 New Stryper record.... Wow! Typically (and historically) speaking, a new Stryper record comes out every 2-3 years. I'm pleased to announce shocking news - we are starting pre-production at the end of February (of this year) and we begin recording the 2nd week of March (of this year)! We will have a new record completed by early May 2010 and we will be planning for a release later in the year!!! I don't want to say too much at this time but I will write an update by next week describing what we're going to do and I can tell you this - it won't be what anyone expects and it will show a completely different side to Stryper that the world has never heard before. Let the controversy begin........... More to come at http://www.michaelsweet.com and http://www.stryper.com by 2/15. The band is incredibly excited about this project and the label is equally as excited... Great things ahead! Always, Michael Sweet

While I have absolutely nothing against the Colts, I found myself pulling for the Saints too. Exciting game between the best two teams in the NFL. Danica.... oh sweet Danica. "Delicious" is definitely the right word!

Taco soup, hot wings, chips & salsa, grilled shrimp, and some adult beverages.
