About a month ago, I spent some time talking with vocalist Kipp Lennon of Venice, the California based band of brothers and cousins (and longtime ATV favorites). Three out of the four Lennons (Kipp, Pat and Mark) are currently on the road touring as backing vocalists for the Roger Waters tour celebrating the 30th anniversary […]

The Jayhawks announce winter reunion shows + new album details
Good news: Those expanded Jayhawks reissues for Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass will finally be out on January 18th (and having had the chance to hear them, I can tell you that they are worth the wait, especially the one for TTGG).

Rush brings their Time Machine to Cleveland (and Toledo too!)
As my radio pal Nard put it, “Finally, a Rush concert I don’t have to fly to!” At last, the Canadian rock trio will be keying the Cleveland digits into their touring GPS as part of a newly announced extension of additional Time Machine tour dates for 2011 (which will include the band’s first ever […]
Celebrating Christmas with Shelby Lynne
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, what comes next? The inevitable onslaught of Christmas holiday hell, of course!

I hadn’t planned to do much, but then I remembered that there was an exclusive release from U2, an exclusive 7″ from Tom Petty and oh yeah, an exclusive 7″ from that Bruce Springsteen […]
Enjoy The Darkness
Now that I’ve had almost a week to soak up selected contents (I still don’t have my copy yet) from the new Springsteen box set, I’m very happy to say that this set was more than worth the wait. This past weekend, we had a really nice time at The Winchester with Springsteen author Lawrence […]
Contest: Win vinyl from Warner Brothers and Because Sound Matters
Having a website called Addicted to Vinyl has its perks and luckily those “perks” don’t involve emails offering me the prospect of kinky nights out while wearing vinyl clothing (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Instead, I found an email from Because Sound Matters, the vinyl arm of Warner Brothers, asking me if I’d […]
