Setlist: Seven Mary Three and Sponge – Roc Bar Cleveland 8/30/08
With Big Head Todd and the Monsters in town today, it feels like 90s weekend here in Cleveland, and the weekend got off to a good start last night with back to back sets from fellow 90s vets Sponge and Seven Mary Three. Attendance for the concert on the east bank of The Flats at […]
Funny Press Releases: Rob Halford
Saw this on Melodicrock.com, and I feel for the poor bastard that has to write these press releases. I’ll highlight the portions that I found to be humorous – no additional commentary needed, really!

Good Listening: Cracker – Empire Concert Club – 5-12-92
This post is a response to Kelly and José’s Random Retro Wednesday Song: Euro Trash Girl A post in which our heroes pay tribute to the day that David Lowery and Johnny Hickman decided to record a really long awesome song that was so long, they put it on the Kerosene Hat album as a […]
Thank you for listening to our songs, we’d do it for free, I swear to God….
Okay, guilty pleasure time – here’s one of many bands that fall into that category for me. This one’s for Mel, who just wrote a great memory-jogging post about 10 of her favorite concerts.

Seventeen years ago today, Pearl Jam released their debut album Ten. As of 2003, the album has been certified twelve times platinum in the United States, and remains the band’s best selling album. So you might find it hard to believe that the album wasn’t an immediate success, and took nearly a year to reach […]
Please keep your rock star in the upright position….
Perhaps we’ve been having some problems with gravity that I’m not aware of, which would explain why I’ve seen three Youtube videos within the past month of famous musicians, taking an unexpected on-stage spill. We’ll start with one that you’ve probably already seen: In the below video, Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland decides to […]
Okay one more thing…
Thanks to the good Captain over at Captain’s Dead for this: A Living Colour cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Talkin’ Bout A Revolution,” who knew? Hear it for yourself.
