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 Dead Converse, for sure….and probably Beatles too!

Some late breaking thoughts on the latest Eagles album, Long Road Out of Eden.

STP frontman Weiland, breaking the hearts of 16 year old girls nationwide, or in Cleveland, at least.

Thanks to a note from Heather at I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, I stumbled upon the first draft of the parables of Jesus. VERY funny!

Butch Walker shares five things that are a must-have on the road for a touring musician in 2008. This is coming from Butch Walker, so of course the humor value is off the charts. With pictures.

Journey performed on Ellen this past week delivering a sonic assault with “Separate Ways.” Not a bad way to introduce new singer Arnel Pineda, but it might have been a bit of a shock if you were watching at home, and didn’t know that they had a new singer.

Highlights this week here at Addicted to Vinyl:

Reflections on life and one of my favorite albums from last year, REO Speedwagon’s Find Your Own Way Home.

Great sets from Kathleen Edwards on World Cafe, and also a great show from the Indigo Girls.
