I think I’ve met my match – a guy that has been to just as many (or maybe more) concerts as I have. And he’s got the ticket stubs to prove it. Click here to check out Jeff Verseman’s very cool collection of ticket stubs from the 70s to present day!

A great quote for your day…
Thanks to Mel for this one, which she found on a blog, from parts unknown… I really like this one.. If you’re in your 30s, you have baggage (ie: children, broken relationships, et al). And if you don’t? You probably didn’t have a life worth living. Amen to that! Read the rest of Mel’s entry, […]
Behind Blue Eyes – a late night adventure in my neighborhood…
Scenes from my neighborhood last night, two houses down. Meet my neighbor who lives two houses down. We’ll call him Dave. Mid to late 50s, and a walking picture of hard living. My next door neighbors often tell me how lucky I am, that I don’t live next door to Dave. And when I hear […]
Good Listening: Jackson Browne and David Lindley (revisited) + news of a new album!
A few days ago, I was preparing this post and had to put it aside because of “real world” commitments. Several days later, as I was working on another post, I wound up on the Pollstar site to check a date, and came across newly posted concert dates for Jackson Browne! I shot straight to […]
Extreme release new album called Saudades De Rock next week + the scoop on Maiden Heaven
A week from today (8/12,) reactivated Boston rockers Extreme, will release their first release of new material in 13 years titled Saudades De Rock. (If you’re scratching your head on the above, it is pronounced “sow-dodge de rock”, which roughly translates from Portuguese as “Nostalgic Yearning for Rock”) While rejoicing at the prospects of new […]
Good Listening: Gov’t Mule and Dave Matthews Band
This is part two of promised posts to “rock your weekend.” I had to pull the Black Keys post that was up earlier offline (hopefully temporarily.) So we’ll skip ahead to the second planned post. It was practically Jam Band Week here in Cleveland – The Black Crowes were at the House of Blues for […]

I’m on the Counting Crows email list, so I’m not quite sure how I missed this, but the Counting Crows have partnered with LiveDownloads.Com to launch an official concert download site. To celebrate the launch of LiveCountingCrows.Com, the band are offering a free download (for the first 10,000 fans) of their Charlotte, NC concert, recorded […]
A Saturday song with Saturday in the title
And I’m not talking about “Saturday in the Park,” or “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” or even “Saturday Night” by Bay City Rollers. And I’m not talking about the version of “Saturday Night” by Ned’s Atomic Dustbin. But come to think of it, I should be. Anyway. Retro Music Snob featured my post regarding the […]
Speaking of pointless 12″ remixes
Remember the other day, when I was talking about pointless 12″ remixes? Here’s a really good example: Survivor – Eye of the Tiger (extended mix) Definitely not one to listen to while operating power tools or heavy machinery. Relevant Links: Purchase Survivor – Ultimate Survivor – CD or MP3
Hell Freezes Over – The Mark Knopfler Edition
Welcome to August! As I was leaving the house this morning to head for rapid transit, I grabbed the latest issue of Rolling Stone (with The Jonas Brothers on the cover) off of my kitchen counter. My eyes did a double take scanning the cover when I saw the headline “Mark Knopfler’s Second Act.” Indeed, […]
