10. Rihanna (Wednesday 7:30pm 1st Mariner Arena Monday 7:30pm Verizon Center); Kendrick Lamar (Tuesday 8pm Patriot Center); Dru Hill (Friday 9pm Rams Head Live); Badfish, A Tribute to Sublime (Friday 8pm Baltimore Soundstage), Fabolous/Pusha T (Sunday 8pm Baltimore Soundstage); ALO (Tuesday 7pm 8×10 Club); The Joy Formidable (Tuesday 8pm Ottobar); Chris Cagle (Saturday 9pm Rams Head Center Stage); Sara Bareilles (Thursday 6:30pm 9:30 Club); Aimee Mann (Thursday 7:30pm Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts); Gladys Knight (Thursday & Friday 8pm Strathmore); All Time Low/Pierce The Veil (Sunday 5:30pm Towson Center); Phoenix “Bankrupt” and Frank Turner “Tape Deck Heart” available in stores/on iTunes (Tuesday)

Dru Hill was nearly as significant a part of my childhood as chocolate milk. Perhaps more significant. Baltimore institutions.

I had a college girlfriend that thought the song “Chicks Dig It” was about the greatest song of all time. She was…like…REALLY hot…so I might well have told her I agreed.

Our friends from All Time Low have been tremendous to us. Be tremendous to them and go see them this weekend. They love Baltimore sports as much as you do.

Frank Turner does folk punk. It’s truly phenomenal.

9. Sarah Silverman (Thursday 8pm Warner Theatre), Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth (Friday & Saturday 8pm Warner Theatre); Jerry Seinfeld (Saturday 7pm & 9:30pm Meyerhoff Symphony Hall); David Alan Grier (Thursday-Saturday Baltimore Comedy Factory); Michael McDonald (Friday-Sunday DC Improv); “Big Wedding” and “Pain & Gain” out in theaters (Friday); “Jurassic Park 3D” and “Gangster Squad” available on Blu-Ray/DVD (Tuesday)

There’s absolutely no reason to not be completely in support of the Mike Tyson show…

You know whose one man show should be coming next?

Sha Na Na, Lonestar, Bret Michaels (Thrusday-Saturday Ocean City Inlet); The Killers “Battle Born” available in stores/on iTunes (Tuesday)

How difficult would it be for me to do the pre-game show Sunday, leave the studio to watch the Avett Brothers’ set and be back to Towson in time to host a postgame show about a game I didn’t watch?

I actually think you’ll find your boy in Columbia for FATM Wednesday night…

I’ve seen Arrested Development more times than others would care to admit…

Remember when it seemed like the Killers were falling off the face of the planet? I’m so glad that didn’t last…

9. Maryland Renaissance Festival (Saturday & Sunday Revel Grove); Charlie Murphy (Thursday-Saturday Baltimore Comedy Factory); Darrell Hammond (Thursday-Saturday Magooby’s Joke House); “Dredd 3D” and “End of Watch” out in theaters (Friday); “Prometheus” available on Blu-Ray/DVD (Tuesday)

I just heard Charlie Murphy was going to be on the show Wednesday. I’ll assume we’re talking a little basketball, right?

Does Hammond do his whole show as Sean Connery? I’d pay to see that…

10. Summer Spirit Festival feat. Erykah Badu, Common, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings (Saturday 3pm Merriweather Post Pavilion); George Thorogood & The Destroyers (Wednesday 7:30pm Wolf Trap), The Temptations/The Four Tops (Thursday 8pm Wolf Trap); 12 Stones (Sunday 6pm Recher Theatre); Old Crow Medicine Show (Thursday 7pm Friday 8pm 9:30 Club), Our Lady Peace (Saturday 8pm 9:30 Club); Toadies (Tuesday 8pm Fillmore Silver Spring), Ted Nugent (Friday 8pm Fillmore Silver Spring); Dick Dale (Tuesday 7:30pm Birchmere); Daughtry (Wednesday 8pm Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric), Lyle Lovett (Saturday 8pm Modell Performing Arts Center at The Lyric); Aaron Neville (Sunday 8pm Howard Theatre); Civil Twilight (Friday 8pm Rock & Roll Hotel)

It’s really tough for me to choose whether I enjoy Sharon Jones or the Dap-Kings more…

Do people throw Wagon Wheels at OCMS shows? Should they just be called Old Crow Medicine Shows?

We all know America > Canada, but what do we make of the fact that Our Lady Peace is from Canada???

I’m man enough to admit I’m excited about Daughtry. Are you?

9. Tracy Morgan (Thursday 7:30pm & 10pm Howard Theatre); Jerry Seinfeld (Friday 7pm Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts); John Mulaney (Friday & Saturday DC Improv); “Hatfields & McCoys” available on Blu-Ray/DVD (Tuesday); “Totall Recall” out in theaters (Friday)

Total Recall is about three days away from release. The number three seems to be relevant for some other reason I can’t think of ohyeah…

Oh and also, here’s Tracy Morgan giving birth. Neat!

10. Hot Chip/Sleigh Bells (Sunday 6pm Merriweather Post Pavilion); Kiss/Motley Crue (Friday 7pm Jiffy Lube Live), Sugarland (Sunday 7:30pm Jiffy Lube Live); Wilco (Tuesday & Wednesday 8pm Wolf Trap), The B-52′s/Squeeze (Thursday 8pm Wolf Trap), Jackson Browne (Monday 8pm Wolf Trap); Young The Giant (Friday 8pm Power Plant Live); Charm City Devils (Sunday 7pm Rams Head Live); Rusted Root (Tuesday 7pm Recher Theatre); Hoobastank (Friday 8pm Baltimore Soundstage), The English Beat (Sunday 6pm Baltimore Soundstage); Justin Jones (Saturday 8pm 9:30 Club); Marc Cohn (Wednesday 7:30pm Birchmere); Nicki Minaj (Saturday 7pm D.A.R. Constitution Hall); Citizen Cope “One Lovely Day” available in stores/on iTunes (Tuesday)

I should probably be too embarrassed to admit my fandom for Sugarland, but I’m also a man who has stuffed 29 boneless Asian Zing wings down his gullet in 8 minutes. There is no such thing as embarrassment…

I would imagine you’ll see me Friday night at PPL. I’m not even 30 yet, but I already feel like I’m approaching “am I too old to be here?” territory. I just can’t hide the fact that I sorta enjoy Young The Giant…

I quite simply love John Allen and I’m so happy for the success he’s finding with Charm City Devils. Not really any other way to say it…

I am a ridiculously big fan of Citizen Cope. He’s playing Silopanna later this Summer and I would suggest you be there. This is the single from the new record…

9. “The Dark Knight Rises” opens in theaters (Friday); Guy Torry (Thursday-Sunday DC Improv); Tony Woods (Thursday-Saturday Magooby’s Joke House); Lavell Crawford (Thursday-Saturday Baltimore Comedy Factory)

Okay be honest. Which are you more excited for? Christian Bale as Batman…

OR….OR….OR….Steve Nash as Batman???

I won’t be rooting for him as a Laker, but I still can’t hate Nash. Even after he killed Maryland in the NCAA Tournament.
