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 […]

It don’t take money…..
So I was catching up yesterday on about a month’s worth of Pop Candy, and came across the following link of greatness, brought to us by the fine folks at Stereogum. It seems that Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen felt that Huey Lewis would have the goods to deliver a new soundtrack smash ala “Power […]
Good Listening: Howard Jones – Frankfurt, Germany – 3/14/2008
I will be seeing Howard Jones later this week on Saturday night in Kettering, OH, outside of Dayton at the Fraze Pavilion.

A really cool tattoo for all of you vinyl lovers

That’s funny, because I wasn’t aware that ANYONE besides Corey, myself, and perhaps maybe the people that saw them opening for Joe Satriani […]
Concert Review: Iron Maiden – Blossom Music Center – 6/12/08
Thursday night, I put on my “metal shoes” to go see Iron Maiden at Blossom Music Center. I pick up my tickets at the box office – fifth row…SWEET! The tickets are on the left hand side, right in front of the stacks……did I bring my earplugs? Of course not. So much for my ongoing […]
Patti Rothberg’s Double Standards – What It All Means
I love this latest dispatch from Patti Rothberg, which offers a good look at not only the meaning behind the title of her latest album Double Standards, but also a look at the inner fire and inspiration that drive Patti as an artist. I particularly enjoyed the jump back to her album Between The 1 […]
