For $4.99, you can take the Doors with you everywhere that you go. Because of course, here in 2013, it makes sense that this legendary band is still looking to break on through to invade your consciousness in a new and different way — not just with their catalog of music, but now also via […]
Contest: Win “Green” By R.E.M. On Vinyl + A Vintage Tour Program!
When I logged into the ATV control panel, it made the Aerosmith sound. I can’t tell you exactly what that means, but briefly, it just means that it’s been a helluva long while since the last time we spoke. (Speaking of Aerosmith, I got a chance to interview guitarist Brad Whitford briefly last week….woooooo! The […]
Listen To This: Adam Marsland
I’m digging the heck out of the new Adam Marsland album The Owl and the Full Moon which came out earlier this week, particularly the title track, which is on its way to becoming my summer jam for the summer (ain’t it convenient how that works?). It’s an album that we almost didn’t get to hear […]
Out On The Open Road With Willie Nile And His Great New ‘American Ride’
I’ve got all of this life experience and my work has benefited from it. As a person, I’ve benefited from it, so I don’t have any regrets and fortunately, I never got a chip on my shoulder. There’s too much of that going around. So it’s been a really interesting ride, you know? Singer/songwriter Willie […]
Good Listening: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in Los Angeles, June ’13
When it comes to live stuff from Tom Petty, there’s certainly a good amount of officially available material to choose from. The Live Anthology in particular should be at the top of your list if you don’t own it, both for value and because of what’s on it. Going further back, the Pack Up The […]
Good Listening: Foreigner in Atlanta, November ’79
Pardon me while I rediscover my own blog, won’t you? Today we’re going to take a journey back to November of 1979 for a (nearly) full set from Foreigner, recorded live on the Head Games tour. Tunes: Many of your favorites including “I’ll Get Even With You,” “Love On The Telephone,” “Rev On The Red […]
Good Watch: Counting Crows Live At The Sydney Opera House
Longtime readers of this blog will know that I’m a big Counting Crows fan. I had the pleasure of having an extensive conversation with Adam Duritz last summer, which you can read in two parts, here and here. More recently, Jeff Giles and I spoke with Adam last week for a conversation intended for our […]
Good Listening: Got Some Live Stuff If Ya Want It
From time to time, I get emails about some of the more popular live shows that I’ve posted here at ATV for download, either because there is a broken link or because they want to thank me for the post. (Gratitude on the internet, folks. It really does happen occasionally.) Two of my personal favorites […]
Groove On….
As this year’s edition of Record Store Day fades into the distance, you might enjoy some reading regarding the vinyl-making process at Cleveland’s own Gotta Groove Records. I’ve read a lot of different profiles of the Gotta Groove operation but this one from the folks at Whopperjaw is my favorite, ranking at about 9 on […]
Friday Music: New Album From The Del-Lords!
“We didn’t start with any agenda, other than to make a great record.” If you’re looking for something to kickstart your weekend, how about a new album from the Del-Lords? (Anytime we can get new music from any project involving Mr. Eric Ambel, we’re down!) Elvis Club is the band’s first full-length album since 1990 […]
