I've been extremely fortunate to have many of my songs played on great radio stations around the country. I had not, however, had the experience of turning the radio on and randomly hearing one of them. Until last night. That was pretty fun!
(The moral of the story...It pays to go out on Sunday night!)

This is called "the worst song ever." Yet another contest I lost! I'm tired of being overlooked by the music industry!

Here's hoping that the NFL comes back and plays next year, but all fantasy football leagues remain locked out.

They say "muscle confusion" is the hottest workout trend. I'm skeptical. I was extremely confused throughout high school and college and I don't think my brain got any stronger from it.

Here's my moral dilemma of the day...I'm kind of getting addicted to the Charlie Sheen stuff. Should I be feeling bad for him since he obviously has a lot of problems? Or since he's probably a rat bastard, should I just enjoy the ride and the non-stop great quotes he's giving us? I'm torn.

For next year's Super Bowl I'm just gonna set up a camera in my room and play a few songs at halftime. I'll webcast it, so you can all watch live. I'm guaranteeing at least a couple of wardrobe malfunctions. And Slash has already signed on to come by.
Naughty By Nature was on Letterman tonight. Ah, 1992, I've missed you...

A great band out of Hawaii that put out two incredible albums of Hawaiian reggae, both of which get regular play on my ipod. I never had the privilege of seeing them live, so this is a gem! Waiting for a reunion...

My condolences go out to the family of Randall Cousins. Randall was a podcaster and a great friend to independent music. He was a generous supporter of my music, personally, having played so much of it on his Brave New Frontiers show. Sadly, we were informed that he passed away recently. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and close friends. Thank you, Randall…

Does AMC still stand for "American Movie Classics?" They're showing Demolition Man right now, which leads me to believe the answer is yes.

I'm gonna start a gym that's only open during the month of January. At least 3x as many people in there as usual. (At least have the foresight to join in December like I did so you don't look like a rube)

Haven't finished (er, started..) Christmas shopping yet, and playing a show at the Hard Rock at Foxwoods tonight. Are gifts with casino logos on them considered tacky this year???

"Nicole Kidman misses her older kids." Is this really news worth putting in the top 4 stories of your news feed, my Yahoo Home Page???

Got Pandora? Love Pandora like I do? Well "Arrivals and Departures" was added recently (SWPH has been on there for years) so feel free to fire up the "Phil Ayoub Radio" and let the fun begin! Listen to songs by me sprinkled in with artists that are like me! Consider it a holiday gift. (Maybe not what you asked for, but its the thought that counts...)

I ordered a chicken sandwich at a Burger King drive thru. They have a "buy one, get one free" offer so the woman asked me if I wanted the second one. I said sure. Before completing the order I told her I wanted to cancel the first sandwich, and just keep the free one (I wasn't that hungry). 2-3 minutes of broken English confusion followed, but it didn't work. At that or any of the 3 other BK's I tried it at after

Neil Diamond wants a fan to induct him into the Hall. Have I told you my right hand touched Neil's in 1994 and I haven't washed it since???
