    words words words words words words words words words words words words Sandwiches give license to loquacity and silly names. Barking for the sake of barking. Words you want to rollll around your mouth repeatedly. Cause it feels so good. Some sandwich names that slide like warm butter off my tongue… TheParmegeddon is served at Melt Bar and Grilled - A place from which you would not want to be barred. Double R Bar Burger is something I could NOT bring myself to order at the driver’s ed graduation lunch at Roy Roger’s cause the name was so awkward and dumb, like a teenager. When you say it, your voice reverberates with twannnggg. Sheesh, we went to Roy’s. That was the reward for driving our first highway - in a BLIZZARD. I recall that Sharon Goodspeed, petit little thing that she was, ordered a child’s size burger and a mini-fry. Not me. I was nerve-damaged and starved. I’d order it now - TWICE just to say it - if I ever stepped foot in a Roy’s. Gurueben was the greasebomb of choice, during my late night high school daze, served at the Booeymonger when it was a hole in the wall and I thought I was the coolest little dish since sliced pastrami. The gureuben is no longer on the menu, although the Patty Hearst has endured. Midget Muscovite was whispered to me by My Main Sandwich Man in NYC in reference to a New Jersey Sloppy Joe. So gullible, I believed this was the actual name of an actual sandwich, but nahhh, it was just JAF barking for the sake of barking. I bit. And I laughed. It’s a wich with just a little Russian. He’s concerned that midget is an outdated term. I dunno, is it? Love these names. Love saying these words.   So true. By Bruce Eric Kaplan

    Quick Hits - One Hit Wonders, Pirate Radio, and Mix Tapes

    Greetings from Memorial Day Weekend in Cleveland, where I saw Filter for the second time in a week, last night at the House of Blues. Friday night, found me at the resurrected Euclid Tavern for young up and comers The Suede Brothers, who are currently making lots of noise here on the Clevo scene. Here are some of the things that are rocking my world right now. Joshua Jesty points me towards this fascinating look at one hit wonders and pop longevity (or the lack of.) I found a new favorite sandwich, and it’s right in my backyard. I think I need to move! Wired Magazine has the step-by-step on how you too, can start your own pirate radio station. Bob Lefsetz checks in with his opinion on Death Cab’s “I Will Possess Your Heart,” which I also loved. Next time I’m feeling romantically mopey (which happens a lot,) I’ll be glad that I didn’t go out on this date. The three principal members of Genesis sit down for a lengthy chat with Rolling Stone. Check it out for the official word on the state of Genesis, and what are the possibilities of that reunion with Peter Gabriel? TJ @ Viva La Mainstream says that the new 3 Doors Down CD is their best since The Better Life. I agree. Highlights this week here at Addicted to Vinyl: I took a look at my favorite tracks that sit at track #1 on the track listing with a rundown of the top 5 album openers (in my opinion.) Weezer put out a new video, and it’s great. I discovered a whole new way to skin a….er, make a mix tape.

    Originally published at Behind The Lens. You can comment here or there. I went to Melt (again!) this morning, to check out their Sunday Brunch menu. I had the Wake & Bacon, which is essentially an omelette in sandwich form: 2 fried eggs, crisp bacon, and american cheese, between two huge pieces of toasted bread. I ate most of it, but had to take a good 1/3 of it home. Hello, lunch! The wonderful waitress/bartender tipped me off to Melt’s Big Cheese Club: a loyalty program with some pretty cool perks. Next time you find yourself elbows-deep in a sandwich there, ask about it. In other news, Slashfood picked up my post about the Parmageddon. Welcome, Slashdot, readers!
