This list comes from my radio buddy Brad Savage who programs a fantastic radio station in Charlottesville, VA, 106.1 The Corner. The Corner is one of those radio stations that I would love to steal and put in Cleveland….they’re always doing something cool, and I look forward to seeing their updated playlist each week in […]

When We Get to Surf City
My friend Pat sent me a Twitter message, “Dude, I can’t believe you didn’t respond to my Fountains of Wayne reference on Twitter.” “I was READING A BOOK,” I replied. “In no way believes that @addictedtovinyl was reading anything that was not online” was the Twitter reply from Pat.

Too Much Evan Dando is Never Enough and Other 90s Misadventures Retold and Redrawn
As you’ll know from reading the stuff that shows up here, 90s nostalgia is everlasting and ongoing in my world. It never goes out of style.

The Meaning of Life according to Clint Eastwood and Little Steven
I picked up Esquire Magazine’s 8th annual Meaning of Life issue over the weekend. Fifty interviews, one person from each state.

Speaking of Girl In A Coma…plus more GNR
That first official day of fierce in your face winter with lots of snow, snow, and more snow, accessorized with wind, really took it out of me yesterday. It was snowing pretty good as I left the west side yesterday morning to drive to the east side for work. While at work, it snowed all […]

Adventures with people that shouldn’t be allowed to comment in press releases
I chuckled when I got an article in my email with the following quote: “Z104 is leading in the country when it comes to video and digital content,” said Program Director Tias Schuster, explaining why Z104 was chosen first. “We get so many hits in this market, and with so much content on our site, […]
Nice Cleveland shoutout from Kay Hanley of Letters to Cleo
The Popdose cats just posted a new interview with Kay Hanley from Letters to Cleo. The band have reunited for three shows, and the interview has a nice little tidbit in regards to a short run of additional shows the band is considering for 2009: Popdose: Seems like a lot of work for just three […]
The Beachland Ballroom launches a blog
I was surfing tonight, and discovered via I Rock Cleveland, that the previously discussed lineup for the Halloween show at the Beachland Ballroom has been expanded slightly. Sadly, it looks like Devil Moto’s CCR tribute is off the bill. People keep telling me that I need to see Devil Moto, and I guess that once […]
