Green Day, Train & More

CSI: NY has become my favorite television show, and I DVR it every single Friday night. So, it was interesting last night to watch the first ever episode where entire scenes were free of dialogue, and instead, used the music of Green Day. I don’t want to spoil too much of the episode because you can certainly Hulu it or find it on CBS’ website, but on this week’s show, a political candidate is murdered, and during a few scenes, you hear a few different Greenday songs from their new albums Uno!, Dos! and Tre! Hope you get a chance to watch the show if Read More …

TLC, Creed & More

It has been quite the journey for “T-Boz” of TLC throughout the last six years. First, in 2006, T-Boz (real name Tionne Watkins) had a brain tumor that threatened her life. Many felt as though even if she recovered, she wouldn’t ever be the same. Then, T-Boz filed for bankruptcy late last year, which was in large part because of her medical bills and obviously, TLC no longer being active as a group. Well that’s all changing, with TLC doing shows again AND T-Boz now having her own reality show on…….. wait for it…… TLC! That’s right, TLC will be on TLC. The show is Read More …

Nick, Lisa & More

This is a few days late, but CONGRATULATIONS to Nick and Vanessa Lachey on the birth of their first child, Camden John! Both parents are extremely happy and say that their son will be spoiled more than any son in the history. From my encounters with Nick, I can agree with this, as he is a very gracious, down to earth and fun guy. However, a bone to pick with Nick…. QUIT TEASING US 98 Degrees fans!!! It seems as though every six months, he sends a tweet hinting at a new album, or a reunion tour, and then it never happens. Who knows, maybe Read More …

Coolio, BSB & More

What an exciting time to be a Backstreet Boys fan, as they enter their 20th anniversary as a group! First of all, Kevin Richardson rejoined the group last year after exiting in 2006 to focus on a solo career. Second of all, the boys are currently working on a new album, which will come out in mid-2013 and be the first album with all five members featured since 2006 (when Richardson left!) Finally, and most exciting to me, you will soon be allowed to be graced with the Backstreet Boys presence next time you are on Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, California. That’s right, BSB will Read More …

Top 20 Boy Band Hits

This edition of “Back In The Day Buzz” will not consist of ’90’s news, for once, since we’ve gotten around thirty e-mails in the past seven and a half months asking about “The Top 20 Boy Band Hits of the 90’s.” If you’ll recall, last New Year’s, we were joined by Howie D of the Backstreet Boys as a special co-host as we counted down the Top 20 Boy Band Hits of the 90’s. Many Round Trip listeners and diehard Backstreet Boys fans have since written to me, asking if we’d publish the music from that countdown. At first, I didn’t feel like that many Read More …

Alanis, P. Diddy & More

It seems like every single day, there’s different news on Ameican Idol. First, it was Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler not returning as judges. Then, Mariah Carey was hired in place of Jennifer Lopez. Her salary seemingly changed with every news report. Next, we heard rumors of P. Diddy taking over for Steven Tyler. Then, it was John Mayer. Now, whose on first? Well, the latest rumor shows Alanis Morissette taking over, and the way things sound, this could be a done deal by the time this story publishes. I’d LOVE to see Alanis get a chance to judge. To me, she is the most Read More …

Sugar Ray, J-Lo & More

We start this week by answering a listener e-mail, sent to daveo@roundtripwithdaveo.com. It comes to us from Lexi in Indianapolis. “…and I’m wondering if you can catch up with Sugar Ray soon! I always thought they were so great. You’ve talked to everyone else. Can you update us on them? Thanks.” Lexi, Sugar Ray, led by 90’s heart throb Mark McGrath, is still very much around and yes, we will talk with them in the near future. Actually, at the moment, Sugar Ray is out on tour with several bands we’ve recently interviewed – Gin Blossoms, Marcy Playground, Everclear and Lit! Its called the “Summerland Read More …

Usher, Mariah & More

We begin this week by sending our thoughts, strength and prayers out to the family of Usher Raymond and his ex-wife, Tameka Foster. Roughly two weeks ago, Kile Glover, who was only eleven years old, was jet skiing when a family friend accidentally struck the jet ski Kile was riding. Glover had been on life support for several days since the wreck and before the tough decision to pull him off was made. I can’t even imagine the pain and suffering for both Usher and Tameka, and will keep them in my thoughts. Its another reminder of never taking a single day for granted, and Read More …

Usher, Meatloaf & More

Believe it or not, there was more happening in celebrity news over the past week than Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes filing for divorce. However, like Tom and Katie, neither of our first two stories are exactly uplifting. We start with Usher, who had a bizarre woman at his front door late at night and had to call 911. If you want to hear the tapes, they’re all over the Internet. Apparently, the woman, who was later arrested and identified as Darshelle Jones-Rakestraw, had come to Usher’s home earlier in the day when he was not home and was temporarily allowed access when her identity Read More …

Spice Girls, Sheryl Crow & More

Spice Girls fans – its time to once again SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!! That’s right, not only do the Spice Girls have a musical coming out at the end of this year in the UK, called “Viva Forever,” but they also have announced that “most likely,” a “tell all” 90 minute documentary will be coming out in the near future, too. After reading that, you might ask, why only “most likely?” Apparently, there’s a slight chance Victoria Beckham might back out and if that occurs, the documentary would be pulled. Either way though, you can see the musical come December. Moving onto something a bit Read More …
