I am the flower, you are the seed….
Here’s some great vintage video of future 99x (and current WRXP/New York) program director/personality Leslie Fram discussing Heart’s “All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You” on the Mobile, AL based television program The Uncle Henry Show, a song that Henry terms as “the worst rock song of all time.” Wow, that was […]
So what do you collect…..and other complicated questions
Tuesday afternoon, I happened to check the ATV email account and found an email that sent my personal geek-out meter soaring sky high, and if I lived in a Looney Tunes cartoon world, I’m pretty sure that the meter would have snapped right off. I had an interview request from a media outlet that you […]

Good Listening: R.E.M – Live in Cleveland – 6/11/95
You always remember your first concert. Mine was R.E.M. and Luscious Jackson at the Gund Arena in Cleveland, on June 11, 1995. The Athens, Georgia, quartet was my favorite band at the time, and had been for several years. I first became aware of them when a local radio station flipped to the modern-rock format […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week: Grog Shop’s FREE Weekend of Shows!
Dear ATVians, Let me be the first to wish you a happy new year. OK, by the time you read this, you’ll probably have been the recipient of such a greeting already (if not 50 times already), but know that I really mean it when I say it. I mean, this isn’t like one of […]
Contest: Win a copy of Purple Rain on vinyl!
Howdy folks! We’re in the midst of a holidays-related break from posting, and until normal posting resumes, we’re going to wrap up the year with a couple of contests!

A Very Cleveland Christmas
In the ’80s, a Cleveland Christmas meant several things: Going downtown to Higbee’s to see Santa, watching Mr. Jingeling — the “keeper of the keys” — on TV and hitting the Twigbee Shop. The latter was a store-within-a-store which paired a helpful elf with young children, so they could shop for their parents’ presents by […]
Good Listening: Aimee Mann – Live at the Keswick Theatre – 12/13/08
As we continue to spread the holiday cheer here at ATV, here’s a repost of Aimee Mann’s great holiday broadcast from last year, which was broadcast by WXPN in Philly. The WXPN folks are always up to something cool, so surf on over and give ’em a listen! Sadly, there was no Aimee Mann Christmas […]
