Supercool Blogs That You Should Read

People have been asking me lately which blogs I really love to read. I know I need to mention these guys more, but here you have it. Here is a list of blogs and other stuff I dig– similar content to Soul Lab, but also very unique indeed.
Idol Chatter on Beliefnet.com combines the latest pop [...]

Diary of a Seekster: Where The Daily Show meets Daily Om

Since my earliest memories I always struggled with the idea that I had to be all things to all people.  We work so hard to keep various elements of our lives separate and distinct to the point that many of us have panic attacks about whether or not to “friend” a colleague or a family [...]

The Conversation: Who do you wanna meet?

So it has been awhile since my latest installment of “The Conversation.” For those of you who have expressed an interest in my revitalizing this, I need to know… who do you wanna meet? Just to recap, “The Conversation” is a series of personal (fake) conversations with celebrities– authors, politicos, pop stars, etc. Past conversations [...]

Puzzling Products: Technibond (r) Medusa Pendant

So maybe I am totally out of the fashion loop here, but my remote control got strangely stalled tonight when passing by Home Shopping Network (on the way to CNN of course). And there it was… the most god awful piece of fashion jewelry I have ever seen. Three words… Technibond(r) Medusa Pendant. How is it a good [...]

Good Vibes: Happy Mother’s Day Already

This video celebrating mothers cracked me up so bad, it actually makes me look forward to it! Viva Mama!

Reality Check Books: Real Housewives of New York meet “The Soul of Money”

In this column, I will discuss (admit) the shows I watch and then (with deep sincerity) I will offer a [...]

Good Vibes: Move Your Boogie Body 1982

OK, so in 1982 I was in junior high and my biggest concern was whether or not I was ever going to meet Paul McCartney. I didn’t even have the slightest conception that I should be striving for a Boogie Body. But in this Jazzercise clip, the near 40 year-old me is thinking a) what [...]

Soul Lab Radio: Scott Von Doviak

Join me as I speak with film critic and author Scott Von Doviak who will talk about his daring, mind-bending and irreverant journey in reviewing the Top 100 Worst Movies ever made. We’ll also discuss his hysterical foray into the world of hillbilly cinema with his book  Hick Flicks: The Rise and Fall of Redneck [...]

Peters Sellers, Death, and the Eternal “Who am I?”

I recently brought a Muppet Show DVD home to introduce our son to the likes of Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Dudley Moore in an age appropriate way. Out of the three episodes, it was Sellers who stood out.
I’ve always been fascinated with Peter Sellers and was convinced that this comic genius and master impersonator [...]

Flight of the Conchords: My New Favorite Song

I still can not believe we got such awesome seats for the May 7 performance of Flight of the Conchords at Bass Concert Hall. I haven’t been this excited since the Seven and the Ragged Tiger Tour from Duran Duran in 1984. Oh yeah.
And I hopinghopinghoping that they play my new favorite song, “Too Many [...]
