Editor’s Note: Hello all, I’m sitting here this morning, reading my copy of the Beverly Cleary classic Ramona Quimby, Age 8. My choice of reading material ties into CB’s show of the week pick for this week…..kinda. Actually, not at all – I really just wanted to stop by and apologize for the lateness of […]

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 […]
Michael McDermott – Hey La Hey
“Who is Michael McDermott? You’ve got a lot of albums by him on your Ipod.” I get this question a lot for several groups/artists, and McDermott is near the top of that list. Who is Michael McDermott? If you know him at all, it’s probably because of this song: McDermott released 620 W. Surf, his […]

From Me To You: A package from Smithereens frontman Pat DiNizio
They say that you always remember your first…. For me, one of the first bands that I met as a young impressionable youth, was The Smithereens. As a regular reader of ATV, you’ll know that I’ve certainly put a few posts up on the site in regards to my favorite bunch of New Jersey gents, […]
Tin Roof. Rusted.
“You’re pretty sentimental aren’t you,” she asked me via text message. Well, yeah….you read the blog, right? That’s what I was thinking, with so many sentimental memories connected to songs, albums, places, and people, I guess like pretty much everyone else in the world. Although I can tell you that I’ve met plenty that aren’t […]
Jenny Owen Youngs – If I Didn’t Know
Transmitter Failure, the new album from Jenny Owen Youngs will unquestionably wind up as one of my favorite albums of 2009. While I’m still waiting for a Cleveland date from Jenny, I can in the meantime share her latest video with you…. And yeah, buy Transmitter Failure if you don’t have it yet!
Let’s all go to Bootleg City…
The fine folks over at Popdose have a very cool download available now over at Bootleg City. I can vouch for its coolness, because I sent it to them. Back in the day (oooh, haaaaazy memories coming up,) head Popdoser Jeff Giles had a post on his old site Jefitoblog featuring a couple of discs […]
The Very Best of Don Henley – In Stores June 16th
How big of a Don Henley fan am I? Well, there was that time a few years ago in 2005 that I drove 3+ hours to Detroit to see Henley, on tour that summer for a limited run of dates with Stevie Nicks. I bought a ticket for 100 bucks in the parking lot, watched […]
