One of the great things about blogging – besides the international fame and noteriety that it brings – is the never-ending exposure to things that are new and cool. It’s a give and take thing – you give somebody something that you perceive to be cool, and they turn around and hit you with a […]

Concert Review: The Bridge School Benefit – 10/24 & 10/25/09
Today, we’re welcoming our good pal Rob Evanoff to the pages of ATV with a review of the recent Bridge School Benefit concerts in San Francisco! DAY 1 – At this time nearly two weeks ago, I was hurtling my German-engineered sports coupe at triple digit speeds over a 343-mile stretch up I-5 in an […]
Cleveland Bachelor’s Show of the Week – Califone
Hello ATVians, Sorry to fail you last week. I don’t like doing the kitchen sink method of advice giving – I am much more in favor of zeroing in on just the right thing and then hammering on it – but things were just oh so hectic. Today, as I write this, I feel a […]

Free MP3: Brookville – Break My Heart (James Iha remix)
It’s been a little bit more than a month since we saw Brookville, the band featuring Ivy co-founder Andy Chase, as the opener on the Trashcan Sinatras Grog show. Since then, we’ve been listening to the new Brookville album Broken Lights nearly non-stop here at ATV HQ. The album will finally hit stores a week […]
New Music: Frank Turner

Poetry of the Deed is Turner’s third release, newly available in stores, and it’s truly a release that is rich with variety and full of unbelievable […]
New Music: Saintseneca
Got this in email and as one that leans hard towards good folk/alt-country/Americana stuff, I had to share it with the ATV nation. I’m not sure if there is a “nation,” but I’m going with it. Saintseneca is a folk band from Columbus, Ohio, but “folk” doesn’t capture the passion, potential and joy in their […]
New Music: Vinyl Candy
For those of you that enjoy power pop, you’ll know that we are in a good position to constantly discover great bands in the genre, thanks to resources like Not Lame Records, and similar websites, fanzines, etc. Some of them make a good amount of noise, Sugarbomb for example. You might remember hearing this song […]
New Music: Caroline Reese
I have to admit, I get the chance to listen to about 1/1000 of the indie music submissions that come in digitally for Addicted to Vinyl, and about 2% of everything else besides that. My pals at Cleveland Bachelor, Sensory Overload, Burgo’s Blog, and The Frontloader particularly, seem to do a better job with getting […]
