The collection. Whether it’s physical or digital, it’s all in disarray. Tonight, I had to re-locate a Rembrandts acoustic show that I thought I had converted to digital long ago (found it!) and I discovered that the Third Eye Blind albums that I joked about still having in my collection are in fact, long gone.

Driving the last spike….
How to sum up 2012 in a few words? “Genesis-obsessed” might take care of it with several characters to spare.

A September trip […]
2012 Favorites, ATV Style

As a music geek, it’s only natural that you might pile up a few rock and roll regrets along the way. For all of the great experiences you’re privy to, there are also a few that you miss out on and sometimes, you kick yourself later for the opportunities which were right there in front […]
The ATV Interview: Adam Duritz of Counting Crows (part one)
“You know, records come when they come. I don’t really think about them too much or plan for them too much, because I don’t think you really need to.” That’s the end thought from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz in reply to a question about the prospects for a new album from the band, which […]
Win A Copy Of Elton John’s New Memoir ‘Love Is The Cure’
