This is what we call an encore performance. Longtime readers of the site will recall that we’ve featured some Hall and Oates shows here in the past that were pretty awesome. Because Hall and Oates were/still are pretty awesome. But in 1983, they were kings of the pop music world.

Touch, Peel, and Hate this Song
I have an idea for a little bit of audience participation. As you know, we’re all about the audience participation here at Addicted to Vinyl! I’d like your help in making a special mix of annoying songs that you never want to hear on the radio, ever again. Now, these might be good songs, they […]
Cage Match: Ace Frehley vs. Vinnie Vincent Invasion
Today, we welcome special guest/uber-KISS fan Corey Rotic for a memorable Cage Match that was proposed by Cage Match board member D.X. Ferris. Vinnie Vincent Invasion “Boys Are Gonna Rock” vs. Ace Frehley/Frehley’s Comet “Rock Soldiers” That’s a whole lot of alleged “rocking.” I think, to begin with, this is an unevenly-matched cage match because […]
In the bathroom with Barenaked Ladies
I came across this series of videos from Barenaked Ladies tonight titled “The Bathroom Sessions,” while wasting some time on Youtube.

Ooooh we belong together, like traffic and weather, traffic and weather!
I loved the Fountains of Wayne album Traffic & Weather, and in my opinion, they didn’t perform the title track nearly enough. I think I saw them play it one time when they played the House of Blues here in Cleveland, and then alas, when I saw them later on that same tour, they didn’t […]
No static at The Winchester
Ask me how much I love the music of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker? Now, ask me how many times I’ve missed chances to see Fagen: My first exposure came via The New York Rock and Soul Revue in the early 90s. Missed them a couple of times. I’ve missed the Steely Dan reunion gigs […]
