A Chorus… of Angels on The 3D RadioActivity
Despite the fears of maybe a Mayan, and many prognosticators, The Apocalypse, Doomsday, Judgement Day, Rapture, and The End Of The World simply did not happen last week. Life continues as we know it, so it is time for a choir, chorus, flight, host, or pinhead of angelic perspective, just in time for Christmas on […]
Booth Reviews: “This Is 40” and “Guilt Trip”
A holiday twofer as I saw a pair of movies over the weekend (“This is 40” and “Guilt Trip”). Neither was great but both kept my interest enough to give them passing grades. “This is 40” is the follow up to “Knocked Up” in which Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann reprise their roles as a […]
The 3D RadioActivity Presents The End of The World!
Some people are preparing for the end of the Mayan calendar, while others fear with trepidation the date will usher in the end of the world. Here at The 3D RadioActivity research center, we have determined that if it is the end, we would not want to be left out, so we are going to […]

Thirty-Six hours in Boston: Family, Food, Drinks,and Dance
As a parent, one attends many sporting events, band concerts (of the school variety) and the occasional dance recital. In many cases, that ends when your child graduates high school. Some of you have talented kids who can carry that on at the next level. I jokingly told a Chicago Bears player that my son […]
Vinyl Frontier: Retro Reviews: Queen – Innuendo
by Andrew David James ….Most ‘70’s rock bands had been too anachronistic or two dimensional to continue during the next decade with any real impact yet Queen were able to succeed. Perhaps not seamlessly if you listen to the awkward ‘Hot Space’ but by ‘The Works’ in 1984 they were just as much at the party as Duran Duran or Boy […]

Song Of The Day by Eric Berman – “Sad Song” by Lou Reed
When Lou Reed’s Berlin came out in 1973, it was met with a huge shrug. Hot off the heels of “Walk On The Wild Side” success and the Transformer album produced by David Bowie, Reed worked with producer Bob Ezrin who had a taste for the absurd and theatrical. Departure is an understatement describing what […]
