Carly Simon, you’re so vain … google it. I mean, no one buys records anymore, so why would you even know who she is? No offense, but she was, is, and will always be more popular than your band. Relax, already – it’s not always about you. Trust me, sometimes we all feel like we’ve […]
A Book Review: The Cars – Let the Stories Be Told – by Rob Skane. I remember the first time I heard “Just What I Needed” on the radio. I had no idea who the band was at the time, but my mind was blown. I remember thinking, how can he say “time, time” – […]
By Rob Skane. On a platform that is inundated with highlight reels and hot (well, mostly lukewarm) takes, Baddog Sports stands out. He has carved out his own corner of social media by turning a passion for sports into a fast-growing YouTube channel. The reactions and analyses are always sharp, informative, and spirited.

Now It’s Your Turn – Rob Skane – An Xperience Column – by Rob Skane. Going live on social media from your grandmother’s couch down in the painted panel basement isn’t a gig. Or a show. Or anything. Some might argue that it’s just a call out for attention and validation, but isn’t that what […]
Just Listen – An Xperience Column – by Rob Skane. Clem Burke, may he rest in peace, was a great drummer in a great band – Blondie. I know you know this, but if you don’t, then look for their LP “Parallel Lines.” It’s a good one and it’s a master class in rock’n’roll drumming […]
Let Me Stand Next to Your Fire – An Xperience Column – by Rob Skane. I have a lot of stories that begin as follows: “I was in this band once …”’ Well, I was in this band once with a drummer who fancied himself as a “MacGyver” type of fellow. However, there were very […]
Don’t Fear the Reaper, Boys! – An Xperience Column – by Rob Skane. Nick Lowe. You familiar? If not, then we can’t be friends – it’s that simple. Some might argue that Saint Nick of Lowe is the songwriter’s songwriter: I would be one of those people. And, we all agree, there’s a metric s**t […]
For Your Own Good – An Xperience Column – by Rob Skane. Sometimes music just blows your mind, right? It’s hard to describe the feeling that overwhelms you when it happens – but I know you know, you know? Example number one: the J. Geils Band. Holy smokes, they were an incredible live band. The […]
