Hey kids, Happy Tuesday to ya. We’re almost at hump day – Burgo is actually already there, and he tells me that it is great. Let’s talk about sex… I realized courtesy of a comment from Allison and Twitter updates that the regular female readership of this blog is taking a big hit today, because […]

Because it’s never too early for Springsteen…
I found a great Springsteen post this morning via The Hype Machine. Now, I could go on and on for days about a variety of Springsteen subjects – like how INCREDIBLE the setlists have been lately, for example. But instead, I’ll link to one man’s perspective on Springsteen, and his first Springsteen live experience on […]
Lots of Music! Steve Lukather & others play Cleveland tonight + Luke talks file sharing
Busy night tonight in the Cleveland music scene. As per usual, there’s no shortage of choices for live music! Nine Inch Nails are at Quicken Loans Arena – I of course saw the show a few weeks back at Virgin Mobile Festival, and it ruled. EDIT: Just got word that Cleveland’s own Nicholas Megalis has […]
Peter Hammill schedules U.S. and Canadian dates – My friend Jerry has a meltdown.
I love my friends, and the unique ways that they make me smile. I opened my email this morning, and got the following email from my friend Jerry: Subject: PETER mother f*cking HAMMILL… …so, PETER HAMMILL is on tour in the USA…in my market…DETROIT (10/09) and in CLEVELAND (10/10)…I had to send out an e-mail […]
Virgin Festival: A few photos
I’m smiling this morning after yesterday’s events, which included music from Cat Power, The Swell Season, Lupe Fiasco, and a Matt-pleasing one-two wrapup of Wilco and Foo Fighters back to back! Just a few pieces of photographic evidence….. Lupe Fiasco (for Todd) The mighty Wilco playing a set as the sun begins to set…. While […]
On the eve of Virgin Festival
Ah yes…..Virgin Festival 2008 is here!! We had a great time at last year’s fest, although our hotel room accomodations left a lot to be desired… Seriously though, you can’t beat a day that opens with Fountains of Wayne and Cheap Trick back to back. And, I saw a wonderful performance from Amy Winehouse – […]
For those that dig old ticket stubs….
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!
Counting Crows offer free concert download
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 […]
Tour News: Matthew Sweet
I’ve had a Matthew Sweet post on tap for a while, that’s been holding, because I was hoping to dig up a “sweet” show that I’ve got from the tour for In Reverse. That’s going to have to wait, because that particular disc remains lost somewhere in “will I ever find all of my stuff” […]
Announcement: My new rock band.
I was talking to my co-worker/vinyl loving comrade Michael today, and he was giving me continued ribbing on my usage of “quote/unquote” in my recent Billy Joel post. After reading it originally, he had emailed me asking why I didn’t simply use the actual quote symbols. Answer: Because I didn’t want to. But it got […]
