As soon I walked out of Studio A today and heard Tanya reading the news, and mentioned the Manny Ramirez contract and realized I forgot to mention it on the show today.  If you haven’t been paying attention, Manny signed a minor league deal with the A’s.  Alright that’s well and good, but he still has to serve his 50 game suspension for being caught a second time for steroids.  You read right  (continue reading…)

Robert Schwartzman
“Double Capricorn”
Release Number: Debut Solo Album
Hailing From: Los Angeles, California
Genre: Pop Alternative Rock
Label: California Dreamin’ Records

Robert Schwartzman has already established himself in the music industry through his career as front man for the band.  “Double Capricorn” is Schwartzman’s chance to diverge and discover what he can do as a solo artist.  Just as his brother, Jason Schwartzman, did with his solo project, Coconut Records, Robert is utilizing the opportunity to see what he is capable of without the constraint of coordinating with other band members. Whether the album is a true success is questionable, but if Schwartzman’s intent was to run in the opposite direction of Rooney’s typical style, he did succeed.
