New music from Aerosmith….sort of.
I missed the news last week that the first bit of “new” music from Aerosmith will be hitting our ears in June. “New” because it is a Get a Grip-era outtake called “Legendary Child” that will be featured on the soundtrack for the movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation which is set for release on June 29th. […]
Contest: Win both volumes of Journey’s ‘Greatest Hits’ on vinyl!
Journey released Greatest Hits on November 15th, 1988. Sometime around that time, I saw it in my local record store (the sorely missed Crow’s Nest in Crest Hill, Illinois) and had to pick up a copy.

Random Youtube: Hooters – ‘All You Zombies’
Once every couple of years or so, I have to hear “All You Zombies” by the Hooters. Today’s Youtube search brought me this live version from 2008. They’re still out there gigging occasionally and I’d love to see them. A 2009 double live album found the band revisiting their catalog as well as co-writes for […]

The digital ATV mailbox gets bombarded with its share of various pitches on new music and downloads of more albums than my ears could possibly ever have time to process.

Stream Six Songs From ‘Underwater Sunshine’ By Counting Crows
I’ve had a follow-up post brewing, because after I made my initial post regarding the new Counting Crows album Underwater Sunshine, I realized that I had some notes on the album by Adam Duritz in my email.
