The following post is ripped straight from my Facebook page…..kind of. I’ve been amused recently by the people that are irritated by the rising amount of Top 5/10/15/25 “chain letter” posts on Facebook. “Don’t turn Facebook into Myspace,” is one of the pleas that I read from one person. I actually enjoy reading this kind […]

On Valentine’s Day
This is my first V-Day post, so it’s not quite a tradition yet…but just wait until next year! I’ve got a suspiciously timed dinner with my parents tonight, arranged with an early morning phone call. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps my parents have me on suicide watch on this hallowed chocolate covered day of luv. Or perhaps […]
When We Get to Surf City
My friend Pat sent me a Twitter message, “Dude, I can’t believe you didn’t respond to my Fountains of Wayne reference on Twitter.” “I was READING A BOOK,” I replied. “In no way believes that @addictedtovinyl was reading anything that was not online” was the Twitter reply from Pat. Strange but true. You’ll recall a […]

We are the youth gone wild…in Cleveland!
Brian from Broken Headphones emailed me the other day and noted that it’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Tesla. I took this email as a cry for help, and decided to completely ignore his obvious request for a Tesla update. Instead, I’m posting this live video of Sebastian Bach performing the Skid […]
Addicted to Vinyl is heading to Bonnaroo!
Okay you’re right, I’m not heading there quite yet. It’s a little bit early to leave now, and I do agree completely with you about that. Plus, I still don’t know how to drive stick, so I have to wait for Brian to pick me up. And looking at the calendar, I guess that isn’t […]
Hot for…..Asteroids!
Alright 80s junkies – check this out… Remember the classic 80s video game Asteroids? Do your thumbs and fingers hurt just thinking about it? Well don’t worry, this won’t hurt a bit…… This gamer mashup combines one of America’s classic video games with THE classic American rock and roll band – VAN HALEN! Behold, The […]
Queensryche – American Soldier – New Album In Stores In March
Okay kids, Matt Fun Fact #4012: I’m a big Queensryche fan. If you wondered if Operation Mindcrime II was worth hearing…..damn right it was! And Tribe, the album that came before it in 2003 was also good. Frontman Geoff Tate still has the lungs, and the return of former axeman Chris DeGarmo for some songwriting […]
Good Listening: Ben Folds – Live in Berlin – 6-4-05
Greetings all, I’ve had a monstrous cocktail of the flu, bronchitis, and my usual friend asthma hanging out since this past Tuesday. During this unexpectedly fun week of hotel illness, I cracked the highest fever I’ve ever had – 104.5. I’m technically out of the woods now, but still lacking lots on the energy side […]
