RIP/Radio: Local legend, Columbus DJ at CD101, “Andyman” has died

Andy “Andyman” Davis (center) apparently drowned while on vacation.

• Columbus legend at CD101, “Andyman” was a staple of alternative radio as drive time DJ and Program Director…
• “Andymanathon” raised thousands of dollars for local charities…
• Rest In Peace Andyman. 

by Mike Zimmer, misses Columbus

I’m not going to sit here and lie and say Andy Davis or “Andyman” at CD101 was my favorite DJ.  Did I enjoy listening to him and did I find CD101 one of the best things about Columbus for years upon years?  Yes and a definite HUGE Yes.  Andy Davis was an intrical part of CD101 being as popular as it is, it’s ability to survive as an independent and be something of a leader in the community and a staple of alternative radio.

Andy Davis drowned over the weekend while on vacation this past weekend.  Despite being an avid and accomplished swimmer, he apparently lost his life in Michigan while out with his family.  (http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=1880914&spid=1314).

I’ve heard great, the Andyman telethon was a fantastic money maker in which Andy Davis stayed on the air for up to 48-hours raising money for local charities.  I’ve heard less than stellar, he was often a bit pretentious and arrogant, apparently quite proud of his accomplishments in Columbus and wasn’t afraid to let it show.  That’s all rumor of course, but one thing that cannot be denied is that his impact in Columbus was huge and he was enjoyable on the air from time to time when I heard him.  Many others agree (http://www2.nbc4i.com/news/2010/jul/19/friends-remember-cd-101s-andyman-davis-ar-157457/).

Rest In Peace Andyman.

Babes/Music: The things people say to get attention, possibly get you to once again listen to their music

God, I had almost completely forgotten about Vanessa Carlton…which is why she’s now suddenly awesomely bi-sexual.

• She would walk ‘A Thousand Miles’ or tell everyone she was bi-sexual to get attention and more album sales…
• The new trend in trying to get attention for a flagging career: tell everyone you’re bi-sexual and raise people’s interest in the “Shocking” part of liking both men and women!!!
• Vanessa Carlton was hot, had one good song and now…well, I have to post pictures of her because she is hot and I’m thinking about that whole bi-sexual thing now.  DAMN YOU media stupidity!!!

by Hootie McBoob, Smut peddler

Well if you’re a woman and you ever find yourself wondering where your music career went and want to make a media splash and hopefull get some people to remember you years after your one and only hit has mostly been relegated to easy listening stations you hear in Dentist’s offices, just say you’re bi-sexual.  Vanessa Carlton just did it (http://wonderwall.msn.com/music/the-shortlist-for-june-21-8386.gallery?Gt1=28135.  Remember her?  Oh, yeah, that’s right…not particularly?

Guys cannot do this.  If you are a man and say you’re bi-sexual, most homophobic men out there call you a cocksucker and a fag and that’s that.  Hell, we’re so dumb as a whole that athletes can’t come out of the closet for fear of a career that would suddenly be over.  But women?  Yeah, we’re cool with that.  After all chick-on-chick is pretty damn sexy to us and we’re down with that.  You wanna dabble in pussy eating?  Sure!!!  That’s kind of hot.  So was Vanessa Carlton.

Music/RIP: Metal Master Ronnie James Dio dead at 67

Holy Diver, you’ve been down too long in the midnight sun.

• Metal Master succumbs to stomach cancer after long battle (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obit_ronnie_james_dio)…
• Amazingly Dio was 67-years old and still rockin’…

by Mike Zimmer, Eeeeeeyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhh!!!

Rest In Peace Ronnie James Dio, Metal Master, hair band leader, screamer and guitar God.  Look, I’m not going to pretend to be a big fan of metal or of RJD over time, but occasionally that brand of 80′s metal was pretty kick ass.  The man made his rounds too as a guitarist playing with Black Sabath and being a legend in his own right.  May the black princes of darkness lead you to where ever heaven or hell you had decided your rocking roll after life to take place.

Jessi Says – 5.8.10

On figuring out long ago that Ricky Martin was gay – ‘He respects women. He doesn’t like women.’

Share

Star Wars + Jay-Z = Best. Music. Video. Ever.

Well Duh, Ricky Martin is gay(not that there’s anything wrong with that), I knew that back in 1999

“Living La Vida Loca” must be slang for, “I dig wang” (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

• What is Ricky Martin ready to sell everyone???  Otherwise, why bother to tell us something we’ve kinda known for 10+ years???
• Ha!  Stick it all you women that wouldn’t listen to me!  He was a flamer and was repulsed by you all these years now!!!
• Gonna be one of those days.   

by Hootie McBoob, Tabloid Journalist

I’m over the whole gay thing with celebs.  I simply don’t care one way or another.  It’s so…well…2oo4 to come out now.  Especially when we knew you were queer as a $3 bill back then (not that there was anything wrong with that…even then!).

So Ricky Martin has come out and said he’s a poofter and is gay.  So what?  Big deal.  The only thing worth mentioning about that is the fact that we can all collectively laugh at all those fat girls who loved Ricky back then and dreamed of him ravaging them as he sang his latin-pop garbage.  He was gay and thought you were gross.

Seriously Rick, you bought some babies, then paid for a new set recently and never dated hot women.  Uh, we kind of got it.  Your music still sucks.  Enjoy the beach.

Music: The first ever Tea Leaf Green Concert Review on this site despite Brew having gone to 101-shows prior

Brew and Zim invaded Louisville to take in the Tea Leaf Green show Wednesday night.

• My first time seeing Tea Leaf Green finally happened this week, on the same date as Brew’s 101st show…
• Only now do we finally get a review of the show and the trip experience as well as some picture evidence from the night…
• Kentucky Bourbon Ale, Good opening acts, $1-tickets and good company made the experience an absolute blast.

by Mike Zimmer, Still tired

It’s been a whirl-wind week for me.  Monday I was in Florida soaking up 70-degree weather and hanging with Big B.  By Tuesday, I was sleep deprived after a 3-hour night nap after having an early morning flight back to Ohio.  That day, I stayed at Casa De Stuebnutz and took part in the lengthy and draining International Kegerator Baseball League draft.  Wednesday morning came early with a doctors appointment too, as I have been quite sick.  Then came an invite from Brew for an evening road trip to Louisville to go see Tea Leaf Green.

While I had wanted to see this band that Brew has been obsessing over for some time, I had resisted and or missed previous urges and opportunities for road trips.  To be honest, I didn’t necessarily want to go the other night because, well, I felt like hell, I needed to get some sleep and I’m strapped for cash being unemployed and over-stimulated these days.  However, curiosity got the best of me and I relented and made the decision to go.  It was made easier by Brew saying the show was $1 and he’d pitch in and buy me a few beers.  SOLD!!!

Plus, I felt, this was my chance to finally get a post on this site about Tea Leaf Green and to get an insiders view into our EEWMP and the life he leads.  After all, there was a time when we thought Brew had been taken in by a cult and they had anointed him their chosen one, their Evangelical Road Trip Leader and a quasi-celebrity.  We’d heard rumors that he was some kind of God amongst the zealous TLG folk.  Much like Bill Murray in ‘Ground Hog Day’, Brew isn’t THE God, but he could be a God, mostly because he’s just been around this group for a very, very long time.  This trek to The ‘Ville was Brew’s 101st show seeing Tea Leaf Green.  It would be my first.

NBA/Music: Over 108K went to see Shakira and horrible basketball game???

Good God Almighty.

Come for Shakira’s ass, stay for the horrible music and basketball.

• Somehow the NBA lured over 108,000-people to the house that Jerra built to watch a horrible basketball game…
• What?  Is there nothing else to do in Dallas on a Sunday night?  I heard they have legendary titty bars there too, so what gives???
• They did have strippersdancers after all though when Shakira came out and shook her boogaloo and that ridiculous ass.

by Mike Zimmer, Stripper Inspector

The Association (better known as the NBA) does nothing for me and I’m bored even with it’s existence.  The NBA All-Star game, once a big time deal where the legends of the game came to collectively entertain is also something I now loathe.  With the NBA set to lose over $400-million dollars this year, I’m imagining I’m not the only one that thinks the All-Star events is a bit…well…not worth the time or effort.

Yet, some how, the NBA and Mark Cuban (with an assist by Jerra Jones) were able to lure over 108,000-people into the house that Jerra built, that mecha of everything that is wrong with modern sports, Cowboys Stadium.  They couldn’t have all been there for the basketball could they?  And seriously Dallas, what’s up with that town, is there nothing else to do down in the Big D???  I mean, after all I hear Dallas has one heck of a party and night life scene including legendary titty bars right? 

Luckily, the NBA thought of that.  So, they invited Shakira to shake her thing all over the place.  And for that, well, I found something redeeming with All-Star weekend (just don’t mind the horrible music or the lip-syncing).
