First up, I’m stoked by the quick plug that this blog got at Stone Pony London, one of the main discussion boards for Springsteen fans, and also one of my favorite web surfs. While I was at SPL, I came across news of ANOTHER really cool show, to go with the really cool show that […]

LIVE: The B-52’s at House of Blues Cleveland 4/29/08
I had one of those “God, I feel kind of old moments” last week. I had tickets to see The B-52’s at the House of Blues here in Cleveland, and I realized that it’s been 16 years since the last time The B’s and I saw each other. I was in high school in 1992, […]
The Tom Waits word of the day
This is brilliant comedy from the mind of Tom Waits, delivered to you in a great video dosage that comes in at just under 4 minutes of must-watch material. The seriously good news is that you’ve got 13 chances to see Tom Waits play in concert this year, at some of the most historic theaters […]
VIDEO – Bill Champlin – After The Love Is Gone
After The Love Is Gone. You probably know it best as an Earth, Wind, & Fire song. Solo artist and longtime Chicago member (and let’s not forget Sons of Champlin too!) Bill Champlin co-wrote it, one of many great songs that he has gotten his hands into over the years. Bill’s got a new solo […]
Virgin Festival 2008
This isn’t exactly an earth shattering lineup announcement, although the lineup is indeed earth shattering. Instead, this is an announcement of my intentions to once again attend the Virgin Mobile Festival this year in August. I had a phenomenal time last August in Baltimore with the Police, Beastie Boys, Cheap Trick, Fountains of Wayne, Amy […]

He produced the following video to help […]
VIDEO: Snoop Dogg jams with Willie Nelson
So if you’re Snoop Dogg, and you’re in Amsterdam at the same time that Willie Nelson is playing a show….well of course you have to join him for a song! Meanwhile, Willie of course needs to see how the other half lives, and so he shows up at Snoop’s show, and does some rapping of […]
Concert Review: The original members of Asia at House of Blues Cleveland
Saturday night I got the chance to catch the reunited original members of Asia at the House of Blues here in Cleveland. My review for Cleveland Scene can be found right here. The review was edited slightly after I submitted it, and I’d like to make note that I actually would have been okay with […]
Concert Review – Buddy Guy at House of Blues, Cleveland
went to see Buddy Guy on Tuesday night at the House of Blues. This was (I think) at least my fifth time seeing Buddy, following shows in 1993 at the Blues Music Festival at Blossom Music Center with my comrade Jim, a show later in the 90s at the Agora with my comrade Mark. Mark […]
Albums Revisited – Bryan Adams – Reckless
Bryan Adams – Can’t Stop This Thing We Started Happy tax day to all of you! I was listening to the Waking Up The Neighbours album from Bryan Adams, yesterday morning, which was really the last great album from BA. It would be the last album for a long time, to feature longtime Adams collaborator […]
