Quick Hits - Rock and Roll Converse, Journey, and Jesus

May 31st, 2008 · No Comments

Greetings from Cleveland, where we’ve had way too much sunshine and good weather lately. I’m getting a bit concerned.
Here are the things that I dug this week:
Get Converse All-Star kicks featuring The Grateful Dead, Beatles, Doors…..and Kurt Cobain, bullet holes sold separately. I’d love to get my hands on a pair of […]

Song of the Moment - Mark Knopfler - Back to Tupelo

May 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Mark Knopfler - Back to Tupelo
around the time of ‘clambake’
that old dream’s still rolling on
sometimes there’ll be the feeling
things are going wrong
the morning star is fading
lord, the mississippi’s cold
you can still be marlon brando
and the king of rock and roll
but it’s a ways to go
back to tupelo
download
I must really like this song, because it keeps […]

Find Your Own Way Home

May 29th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Find Your Own Way Home is the name of the latest CD from veteran Illinois classic rockers REO Speedwagon. And the album is also the unlikely source of inspiration that led me through what would be an important period of personal exploration in 2007.
I purchased the CD as part of a “can’t […]

The Verve Pipe “Villains”

The Verve Pipe - Villains
Every once in a while, a song will come up on my Ipod that I’ve forgotten about, or don’t think of often. This is one of those songs.

Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Chickenfoot

May 28th, 2008 · 11 Comments

Good stuff from Melodicrock.com - there are new developments in the Sammy Hagar project titled “Chickenfoot” that now apparently include Joe Satriani.
Let’s stop for a second: Chickenfoot is a horrendous name.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I am definitely excited to see one of my favorite singers pair with one of […]

Good Listening - Indigo Girls - In Cold Storage

May 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I remember the time when I came so close to you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
Indigo Girls - Least Complicated
Young love. Kathy was the girl that […]

New Kids On The…Arena Schedule?

May 27th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’m wrapping up the day as the email hits my inbox. New Kids on the Block have confirmed a Cleveland date for October 3rd.
This is the same group that played the Cleveland Agora (cap. 2000) in the mid-90s for a show that I recall hearing was not very well attended. They […]

LIVE: Filter at House of Blues Cleveland 5/24/08

May 27th, 2008 · No Comments

I caught Filter on Saturday night for a show that will easily land on my concert memories highlight reel for the year. It was great. And despite the fact that I’ve still got a review of last weekend’s Rock on the Range show (which also featured Filter) that is pretty close to being […]

Good Listening - Kathleen Edwards - World Cafe 5/16/08

May 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I wrote previously about Kathleen Edwards following her mid-April appearance on David Letterman. And now, I’ve got a treat for you all.
Quality well-recorded live stuff from Canada’s foul mouthed sweetheart isn’t an easy thing to find. In fact, with the exception of some Austin City Limits audio that was pretty far removed from […]
