Dane Cook trying music crossover?

Dane CookAfter listening to the MP3, I realize how this could have slipped under the radar, but did anyone noticed Dane Cook released a serious Rock song in May?

I was using Rhapsody to listen to music at work because I have a free three month subscription and I noticed Dane Cook was on Rhapsody’s top-ten chart. I clicked on his name to see if he had a new comedy CD out — he does. It’s titled “Rough Around the Edges: Live from Madison Square Garden.” More amusing though was that Rhapsody listed two music singles also out.

Mr. Marcus fan derailed by Sprkus

Mr. MarcusApologies to the person directed to Sprkus by Googling “Markus Porn Star.” Landing on this site clearly slowed you down a few seconds when trying to find your ultimate goal.

The destination you were searching for was the Web site of adult entertainer Mr. Marcus, which can be found at mrmarcus.com.

I completely understand the confusion. Besides the small difference between a C and a K, Mr. Marcus also happens to be a large ebony sex machine.

Nick gets his break with M3

NickAfter spending years in Nashville, my buddy Nick, who I grew up with in Cincy, has finally landed a job in the field he has been trying to break into.

Nick will start as an installation technician with Multi-Media Masters Inc., who according to their Web site are “masters of vision and sound.”

After Nick completes some certification courses he will be promoted to project manager.

Unfortunately, the M3 offices are in Nashville so he won’t be moving to Columbus any time soon — not that he was planning on ever doing that anyway.

It’s perfect timing because my future rock band is gonna need a sound guy. As soon as I learn how to play a guitar. Or sing.
