New Music: Cracker, Jenny Owen Youngs
Hello kids, Thought I would spotlight briefly, a couple of things that have been in my ears this past week.

Listening Party: Check out new releases from Queensrÿche and Jane’s Addiction
It’s been a brutally busy week here in Vinylland, which is Vinyl-speak for “the real world has been kicking my ass this week.” As usual, it’s been the music helping me to maintain my alleged sanity, including a trip back to 1997 with the Dog’s Eye View album Daisy, paired with lots of new music, […]

Everytime I turn around, there’s a Facebook status update from Will to make me jealous, or something new from Will to read in my Google Reader. Today, Chris Cornell was the subject for a great interview posted at Bullz-Eye by Will. […]

Contest: Limited edition Thin Lizzy vinyl for YOU!
It’s been a looooong time since we’ve given anything away here at Addicted to Vinyl. In honor of Record Store Day, which is coming up on April 18th, I had this crazy idea that it might be cool to give away some VINYL! It seems to me like a good way to get everyone properly […]
