Born and raised in the wilds of Staten Island, I made my way to WRRV way the hell back in 2004. I left for the big city, and then magically my radio station went under. I went to the wild west of internet radio, and magically my company went under. So I decided to chill a little bit. Then I had a kid. Now I’M BACK! Hang with me every weeknight from 7 to Midnight! Send me email or connect with me on Facebook and Twitter!

WRRV Concert Calendar: New Found Glory – The Stone Pony
There are music venues; and then there are MUSIC VENUES. The Stone Pony is one of the latter.

WRRV Christmas Playlist: Jimmy Eat World – Last Christmas
Jimmy Eat World is kind of perfect for a quiet, holiday song. Their best stuff is already pretty emotional, they're awesome when they're introspective, and a lot of their albums can be fantastically enjoyed if you're all lubed up on egg nog and rum, near a fire...
WRRV Christmas Playlist: Bad Religion – Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Let's make this clear; Bad Religion did not suddenly come around to the church. They did this whole Christmas album because they had fond memories of singing these songs as kids. And there was a whole lot of satire involved as well.
Even if they were doing it as a laugh, however, the versions they recorded are EXCELLENT...
Throwback Thursday: The Ataris – In This Diary
Ah, the golden days of pop-punk emo! The Atari's dropped their fourth album in February of 2003, and "In This Diary" was the first single off the new record. It was actually released before their cover of "The Boys of Summer", which remains a huge hit and is probably one of the best cover songs of all time...
