Good Listening: Chicago – Live in New York – 6/20/77
As I was digging around in my collection today, I pulled out two CDs worth of Chicago, recorded live in New York City in 1977. While this isn’t the best sounding show that I’ve got from Chicago, it was interesting to me at the time that I first got it a few years ago for […]
Free MP3: Brookville – Break My Heart (James Iha remix)
It’s been a little bit more than a month since we saw Brookville, the band featuring Ivy co-founder Andy Chase, as the opener on the Trashcan Sinatras Grog show. Since then, we’ve been listening to the new Brookville album Broken Lights nearly non-stop here at ATV HQ. The album will finally hit stores a week […]
New Music: Frank Turner
Credit my pal Brian for turning me on to what might end up being one of my favorite releases of 2009, the newest release by British singer/songwriter Frank Turner. Poetry of the Deed is Turner’s third release, newly available in stores, and it’s truly a release that is rich with variety and full of unbelievable […]
A few words in defense of Human Touch and Lucky Town
My longtime blogging comrade TJ at Viva La Mainstream has been admirably reviewing an album a day, both new and old releases, since the beginning of the year. It’s one of my favorite daily reads, and this week is of special note and interest to Bruce Springsteen fans – the entire week is dedicated to […]

Cage Match: Kenny Loggins vs. Cinderella
I got an email recently, which led to the following discussion: Dear Matt, Remember when you used to do those funny Cage Matches every week, featuring a battle between two bands, presenting the opportunity for people to comment and make fun of your musical taste? Sure do. What happened? It’s been two weeks! I dunno. […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: Autolux
Hello fellow Vinyl Addicts, That Ramona Falls show was a little sparsely populated. Are you paying attention to me? I really wish you would, as Brent Knopf and his touring bandmates put on a heckuva show. Regardless, what’s done is done and we need to move forward. To be honest, our pal Matt is in […]
