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 […]
Everything you needed to know about Juliana Hatfield, and then just a little bit more….
Doing the nightly (or is that hourly) scan of my Google Reader last night, I see that Popdose just put their Juliana Hatfield guide online. It is a guide to the greatness of Juliana Hatfield, so of course you need to read it, even though I disagree with one part of it: I happen to […]
Lefsetz on Kid Rock’s Rock and Roll Jesus and Itunes – plus a response from Kid Rock
Bob Lefsetz writes: Is Kid Rock selling a hundred thousand CDs a week because his album is not available on iTunes?

My eyes did a double take scanning the cover when I saw the headline “Mark Knopfler’s Second Act.” Indeed, […]

You left the state without me!
More good stuff from Juliana Hatfield, who I’ve blogged about before in this space. I’ve been reading her blogs via her Myspace page, but she actually does have a proper blog right here, which is where this entry comes from. You’ll find lots of good rock and roll war stories like this one: LITTLE PIECES […]
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” […]
Vinyl Blog Love: The Lost Turntable
