The one & only Ozzy Osbourne hangs with the crews of Hoodlums, Changing Hands and Mac’s.  Over 4,000 people showed up for the Ozzy event, which Hoodlums co-sponsored.

Customer Email

The weekly customer email will give you lots of useful information about music, movies, and whatever other pop-related stuff we are peddling, promoting, or presenting. Plus, we will let you know when we have special events (like the killer Franti show pictured above).

Consider that I am a professional hoodlum, so I use this word loosely… but the customer is the more formal of your “sign up” options.  The other option, Music Biz Bigshots, is for industry-type characters that like to see our bi-weekly charts.

Wileysworld Blog

Do I have to blog?  For that matter, do I have to say “blog”?  Since this website is built around the amazingly-efficient WordPress, an open-source program built for blogs, I guess so.  Although I have been known to do a little e-ranting, laying it out for everybody on the website is a bit daunting.  However, if I have something to say, I will gladly write.

When I do write, I can’t promise you anything useful at all.  I promise you it will be my opinion.  Mainly, I anticipate that I’ll be rambling on about how we (yes, sometimes I speak for the store) feel about an album, or a movie, or the latest hair-brained scheme being cooked up by the music and movie industries.  I’m a record store geek, so there will be personal observations related to music and entertainment.

I’m a family man too, so there will no doubt be an observation or two about music as it relates to my kids.  Nevertheless, please assume for the sake of caution that my writing style is PG-13.

We encourage you to ramble back.

Have a great day, Steve
