First, an update to the Westerberg entry I posted yesterday – it seems like you might have to wait a bit longer to plunk down 49 cents for 49 minutes of new Paul Westerberg. The new music is supposed to be available today, and might be still – but it’s more likely that the download […]

Quick Hits: Tim Russert, Bruce Springsteen, Night Ranger
Another Saturday morning in Cleveland – last night we were supposed to get a mother of a storm, but honestly, I zonked out after being out late at the Iron Maiden concert the night before. I got a little bit soaked Friday night going from the rapid station to my car, but everything else after […]
Quick Hits – Vinyl, Coldplay, Billy Joel, and Lou Reed
