Good Listening: Hall and Oates – Live in Chicago (1983)
This is what we call an encore performance. Longtime readers of the site will recall that we’ve featured some Hall and Oates shows here in the past that were pretty awesome. Because Hall and Oates were/still are pretty awesome. But in 1983, they were kings of the pop music world.
The Airborne Toxic Event – House of Blues, Cleveland – 08.04
I enjoy heading out to listen to bands that which I’m not incredibly familiar; there is always bound to be something unexpected. Thanks to Radio 92.3‘s Cheap Date night concert Tuesday night at House of Blues, I was in a dream on a cheap date featuring Ohio Sky and The Airborne Toxic Event. Ohio Sky […]
The Boss in Black and White
I just realized thanks to Pete at Blogness, that last weekend’s Bruce show at Bonnaroo woulda been a helluva lot more awesome if I would have been watching the entire show in black and white! Awesome picture above courtesy of I Was Bombed Bruce makes looking cool so easy. I wish I could look half […]

And then, Friday […]

First, a few links of interest for your enjoyment: Leading up to the Rock Hall induction ceremonies, I’ve been talking Metallica with my former radio comrade Chris Akin and Cleveland Scene’s D.X. Ferris. The first […]
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 […]
Good Listening: Beck – Lollipop Festival – 07/26/96
What can you say about Beck? Well….where do you want to begin? We probably don’t have the time… I’ll tell you this. Like everybody else that was in a band during the 90s, I covered “Loser” in my high school rock band. Looking back, we shoulda done “Pay No Mind” instead – I like that […]
