Easy Music Center on KHON Morning News – Shara Enay talks to Peter Dods, the owner of Easy Music Center

Posted By Peter on July 28, 2010

Hey!  I was on the morning news.  I was a little nervous and didn’t want to say anything too dumb so I’m speaking pretty slowly here.  Thank goodness Shara was so nice and easy to talk to.

Tasty Asian Style Taco Eatery – Taste!

Posted By Peter on July 15, 2010

Local style tacos taste mean! Ribeye with Kalbi marinade and wasabi dressing, Char Siu with Shoyu Aioli and Ginger dressing, and some other tasty delights! This place tastes super good! It is on Beretania before you hit McCully St. in the Ocean Sports bar parking lot. It is open Monday thru Friday for lunch hours. I tried the Kalbi (more like Bulgogi) and the shrimp. So ONOLICIOUS!!!! Get there on the early side. He ran out due to high demand today. Best taco I ever had!

Jake Shimabukuro stopped by today

Posted By Peter on July 1, 2010

Jake is such a nice and humble guy.  I am always thrilled to see him come by the store.  He picked up a Genz Benz Shuttle 10″ to fill out the low end for his acoustic amp when playing his Ukulele.  I think he was stoked on the sound and how light the unit was.  I’m glad we had what he needed!  Chee!

He dropped off a bunch of copies of his new Single “Go For Broke”  – The song is dedicated to the Nisei WWII soldiers – the most decorated group in military history.  You can download it at his website (http://www.jakeshimabukuro.com/?t=goforbroke) for free.

Jake!  You making Allen and me (maybe just me) look fat man!

Empire State Building

Posted By Peter on June 19, 2010

I left Nashville today. Just got into NYC, and I am sitting on the top of my friend’s apt rooftop lounge. The view here is amazing. I haven’t been back to NYC in over three years. I’m going to check out some of the mega music stores while I’m here, and hopefully I come back with some great ideas on how we can make our store better in Hawaii.

Monell’s Southern food

Posted By Peter on June 18, 2010

It is awesome. I had to come here again this year. It is in someone’s house, and you sit down with random folks. We sat by some people from Nashville and LA this time. The menu: fried chicken, ribs, fried Catfish, pickled cucmbers, cream broccoli, collared greens, corn bread, biscuits, cream corn, cole slaw, and banana pudding for desert. All you can eat for $16.02. Mean!

The Digital Immigrant Vs. The Digital Native

It really is this easy to post to our website. I posted this while I was watching this great presentation. Immediacy can be rewarding.

Bands in Nashville on the strip

Posted By Peter on June 16, 2010

The bands that you see on Broadway in Nashville are off the charts. They only play for tips. The talent over here is ridiculous.

Southern BBQ!

Posted By Peter on June 16, 2010

Just arrived in Nashville. We checked into the hotel and walked down to Jacks bbq shortly after. It is a lot like Kalua Pork. Everything looks the same here, but I hear the flood was really bad.
