Dave DiMartino is a past editor of CREEM, former West Coast Bureau Chief of Billboard, a senior writer at Entertainment Weekly, and later executive editor of LAUNCH and Yahoo! Music. He still writes. And he’s a mammal!
As album titles go, It Bites’ ‘Eat Me In St. Louis’ may be among the best.

If you told me this was a bonus track on Nico’s ‘Desertshore,’ I would beleve it.

Catering to the cannibal market seems a bad business decision!

This guy has stuck around in my brain maybe longer than he should have.

He’s 81, and his brand new album absolutely kills it. Great stuff!

Everyone's a critic!

It would appear the Twitterverse numbers have declined to the point where their latest “notifications” are now, conspicuously, clickbait. And who would actually click? Crazy!

Very sorry to hear about the death of Soft Machine keyboardist/co-founder Mike Ratledge, a superb talent. Here's a radio interview I did with him and (also now-departed guitarist) Allan Holdsworth back in 1974. A great loss.

Personally, still kind of miffed that someone thought of this stage name first!

The downside of using your dog as your icon.

If we’re talking favorite holiday tracks, must point out the one penned and sung by my son Greg a few years back. Dig it!

How they can afford this casting I’ll NEVER know!

I have more hard drives than I know what to do with—more media than you’d believe—but upon moving things around today, I noticed that between 2022 and 2023, Seagate reduced their warranty for large hard drives by 1 year for North & South America. Believe me, I have a NAS and much more, but…ouch.

These TV shows they beam in from the future are better than you'd think!

Apple Music’s 2024 Replay for me must indicate something or other!

Dudes, thanks for following, but can you maybe imagine a world where I could proudly show my mom the names of the people who follow me?

Oddly reminded of Boz Scaggs at Lowe’s this afternoon!

Was oddly fascinated by this guy years ago—bored kids as genetic gods!—and I still kinda like him!

This is nearly perfect.

Just snagged a pic of my very first personal stereo system, provided by my parents circa 1968. Voice Of Music turntable, with its flukishly light tonearm and cartridge, preserved nearly every LP I ever played on it.

Plus a pic of the album I got with it, still one of my faves. “America,” yes!
