ATV favorites Big Head Todd & The Monsters are once again back out on the road, playing sets that mix a hefty dose of blues from their latest release Big Head Todd Blues Club – 100 Years of Robert Johnson with favorites from their vast catalog. With the classic Sister Sweetly album celebrating its 20th […]

Setlist: dada at Musica, 2/4/13
On Monday night, dada made their long awaited return to the Cleveland area, playing an intimate show at Musica in Akron. I knew that it had been quite a while since the band had been in this neck of the woods for a show, but according to the dada tour archive, the last show was […]
Random Youtube: The Winter Sounds – Shoulders Above
I’ve been a fan of The Winter Sounds since their last album came out a few years ago. In that time period, they came to Cleveland and I missed the show, which is something that I’ve regretted nearly daily each day since then. (And as it turns out, I apparently missed a show in Canton […]
Random Youtube: Cyndi Lauper at Budokan
72 minutes of live pro-shot Cyndi Lauper from 1987. ‘Nuff said. Thanks to my rock and roll pal Marsha for the alert that this was on Youtube! [youtube_sc url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hluQ3hgzb7Q&feature=youtu.be”] Need more Cyndi? Well there’s this…. And hopefully you didn’t miss Cyndi’s official memoir which came out last year!
The Monday Morning Mix: Play It, Don’t You Wanna Hear What’s Next?
For those of you who are still picking your jaws up off of the ground after the sudden appearance of a Monday Morning Mix last week, there’s good news — here’s another one. About two years ago (on December 7th, 2011, to give you an approximate date), I received a mix submission in the mail […]
New Music + Video Fun From Jay Nash
Had to take a moment to share out this new song (complete with a homebrewed video) from ATV favorite Jay Nash. The song is called “Wander” and it comes off of his upcoming album Letters From The Lost. Nash will debut material from the new release during a SXSW appearance in March. [youtube_sc url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_L0mU1vhgY&feature=youtu.be”] Jay […]
History Of The Eagles – Story Of An American Band
2013 finds the Eagles celebrating 42 years as a band (with a lengthy “vacation” break representing a good chunk of those years, of course) and they’ll do it in style with a tour and two-part documentary which will premiere on Showtime on February 15 and February 16. History of the Eagles – Story of an […]
Quick Hits: Sound City, Rick Springfield, Fountains of Wayne, Heart, Etc.
There’s never enough hours in the day. If there were, I’d get the chance to do everything — or at the very least, every interview that I’d like to do. I certainly get the chance to speak with a lot of folks, but there’s always a few that slip by, due to time constraints. But […]
Dave Grohl on Marc Maron’s WTF
One of the best things about Marc Maron’s new interview with Dave Grohl (which was posted on Thursday) is the fact that it really doesn’t feel like an interview at all. As is the style with a lot of Maron’s interviews, his conversation is just that – a very off-the-cuff conversation that finds two music fans […]
Essential Viewing: Sound City — The Movie
One of my most highly anticipated releases of the year is the upcoming Sound City documentary from Dave Grohl. Admittedly, the year is very young, but all other documentaries that come out after this one will have stiff competition to live up to. Grohl continues to prove that he’s just as much of a music […]
