Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: The National Buffalo Wing Festival
Greetings fellow avid Addicted to Vinyl followers, Raise your hand if you went to the Cracker show on Friday? Awesome, right? I haven’t been to a show that good in a long time. Killer set-list, though you already know that from reading Matt’s astute show review. At least partly because that show was so awesome, […]
Setlist: Cracker – Beachland Ballroom – 8/28/09
Cracker can still bring it. You can consider this less of a review, and more of a collection of some thoughts, with the occasional memory flashback that you’ve come to expect here on ATV. The last time I saw Cracker 14 years ago was damn close to a religious experience. Going into the Beachland show, […]
My Trip Hop Days
Most of you were were probably enjoying my ATV hiatus. One of you even thought I wouldn’t get out of that basement you locked me in… never! Screw you, I’m back. I’m out and proud too, but that’s an entirely different matter. Speaking of basements, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the summer release from Basement Jaxx […]
Good Listening: Hall and Oates – Live in Chicago (1983)
This is what we call an encore performance. Longtime readers of the site will recall that we’ve featured some Hall and Oates shows here in the past that were pretty awesome. Because Hall and Oates were/still are pretty awesome. But in 1983, they were kings of the pop music world.
Talking Crackers
With the pending Cracker show at the Beachland Ballroom on Friday, members of the band have been doing some local press to help make sure that the rock kids are aware that Cracker is coming back to melt their faces off on Friday night. Cracker frontman David Lowery spoke with Scene Magazine about the upcoming […]
Touch, Peel, and Hate this Song
I have an idea for a little bit of audience participation. As you know, we’re all about the audience participation here at Addicted to Vinyl! I’d like your help in making a special mix of annoying songs that you never want to hear on the radio, ever again. Now, these might be good songs, they […]
Cage Match: Ace Frehley vs. Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Today, we welcome special guest/uber-KISS fan Corey Rotic for a memorable Cage Match that was proposed by Cage Match board member D.X. Ferris. Vinnie Vincent Invasion “Boys Are Gonna Rock” vs. Ace Frehley/Frehley’s Comet “Rock Soldiers” That’s a whole lot of alleged “rocking.” I think, to begin with, this is an unevenly-matched cage match because […]
In the bathroom with Barenaked Ladies
I came across this series of videos from Barenaked Ladies tonight titled “The Bathroom Sessions,” while wasting some time on Youtube. Without dwelling on the current state of BNL, I would like to share a couple of my favorites from the series. The first one, “Adrift,” came along at a time when I was wondering […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: Cracker and Whiskey Daredevils at the Beachland Ballroom
Ladies and gentleman, does this week bring us a doozy of a rock show or what?!? I will say this: this week’s show of the week might also be my most anticipated show of the year. It might not be a hipster-driven audience (it won’t be), the local indie record store may no longer the […]
