Seven Questions In Heaven With I Love Rich
Today, we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven with I Love Rich!Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
I Love Rich is a rock and roll band from Chicago. There are influences of metal, pop punk, old school rock and roll, soul music and even hair metal, but we are a rock and roll band.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
Kiss, Morris Day and the Time, the Dictators, James Brown, the Ramones, AC/DC, Chuck Berry and a few dozen other rock and roll bands.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
I have a vinyl version of For Those About To Rock, We Salute You that I bought at Service Merchandise with money I made delivering newspapers. My choice was between that and Music From The Elder. I think I made the right call.

Product Review: Sol Republic Deck Wireless Speaker
Three-word review: This baby rocks!
The Sol Republic Deck is a beautiful little wireless speaker that sounds just as good as it looks. Its sleek, futuristic design is matched with a rich, full sound which is quite loud given its tiny package. The Deck has built-in Bluetooth, which enables you to connect to the speaker wirelessly from up to 300 feet away, perfect for a party or just the soundtrack for cleaning your apartment. The Deck's battery lasts up to ten hours, and if you're curious how much time you have left, a robotic voice tells you when you power the Deck up.
Another cool thing about the Deck is the Heist Mode, which enables five different devices to control the speaker (and the Sol logo displays a different color for each user). We had an S3, iPad, iPhone, and iPod all taking turns playing songs. But if you don't feel like sharing, you can turn this feature off. Plus, if you're using your Deck with your phone and you get a call, all your calls go through the Deck and it becomes a speakerphone. Pretty cool, huh?

Seven Questions In Heaven With Night Panther
Today, we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven with Night Panther's Michael Cammarata.Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
Music for people who want to deal with their despair by partying.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
We are all pretty into Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins. We never try to let our influences consciously make their way into our music though. Nobody wants to hear someone try to be something they are not.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
I specifically opened a lemonade stand with the intention of raising enough money to buy Country Grammar by Nelly. I closed the stand when that goal was reached.
What's the first thing you look for when you hit a new town?
The first thing I like to find is a thrift store to feed my impulsive addiction of collecting records and VHS tapes.
