So if you’re Snoop Dogg, and you’re in Amsterdam at the same time that Willie Nelson is playing a show….well of course you have to join him for a song! Meanwhile, Willie of course needs to see how the other half lives, and so he shows up at Snoop’s show, and does some rapping of […]

Nine Inch Nails release brand new single, and maybe a new album is on the way too?
Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor continues to be one of the most innovative artists in the music industry today. It’s a title that in my book, Reznor has had a nearly constant grip on for nearly 20 years now. In 1997, the NIN track “The Perfect Drug” (from the Lost Highway soundtrack) made its […]
Videos From Hell – Tonic – Open Up Your Eyes
First of all, you need to understand that there has been an ongoing discussion/joke regarding roller skates in my world recently. I was checking out former Tonic lead singer Emerson Hart’s Myspace page tonight, looking for the latest updates, and that made me want to surf Youtube a bit for random Tonic videos. I see […]
Concert Review: The original members of Asia at House of Blues Cleveland
Saturday night I got the chance to catch the reunited original members of Asia at the House of Blues here in Cleveland. My review for Cleveland Scene can be found right here. The review was edited slightly after I submitted it, and I’d like to make note that I actually would have been okay with […]
The Ben Folds “No Brick” Mix Disc
Last week, I made a Ben Folds mix disc for my friend Tracy – we had been talking, and she mentioned that she was a Ben Folds fan, but didn’t own anything. With that in mind, I set out to make the all important mix disc, a one CD primer in my mind, of the […]
Asia – Only Time Will Tell….on accordion?
Please note that this fan has a Geoff Downes worthy rack setup of keyboards, yet he needs only an accordion for this rendition of Asia’s Only Time Will Tell. Awesome!!
A few more Danny Federici thoughts, and a web link for the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund
I woke up yesterday morning to an email in my inbox from my friend Chris, telling me that Danny Federici, keyboard player for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band had passed away after three years of battling melanoma. I posted my initial thoughts here. I sent my old boss Tony (my frequent Springsteen companion,) a text […]
A goodbye to E Street Band band member Danny Federici
Sad news in my inbox this morning, as I read of the passing of “Phantom Dan” Danny Federici, who for 40 years, was keyboard player in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. Federici took a leave of absence in November from the E Street Band to pursue treatment for the melanoma which he had been battling […]
Speaking of The Smithereens – live album AND DVD on the way!
The Smithereens – Blood and Roses (live at the Court Tavern, cool video!) If you enjoyed the previous link to the interview with Smithereens frontman Pat DiNizio, you’ll be happy to know that there is more news from the band. The live album that was recorded at the band’s old stomping grounds of The Court […]
Great interview with Pat DiNizio from The Smithereens
If you’re a Smithereens fan (and you SHOULD BE!) like I am, then you will dig reading an expanded unedited version of an interview with ‘Reens frontman Pat DiNizio that is sourced from an edited version that ran last year in The Aquarian, New Jersey’s rock paper. Kudos to Clifford Meth for sharing this great […]
