My previous blog post on the new supergroup “Chickenfoot” featuring Sammy Hagar, is one of the more popular posts on this site. The working name for the project seems to now be the permanent name, and I can’t blame them for that, as much publicity as they’ve gotten out of it so far. Here are […]

Last night with Anya, Jay, and some guy named Greg….
So after a nice spurt of warm weather this weekend, I can see my breath in the air again this morning. What the hell? Oh yeah, thanks Cleveland…. Last night I was at The Winchester, which has become one of my favorite clubs over the years, and lucky for me, I now live about a […]
The 100 Greatest Singer-Songwriter Albums of All Time
Thanks to all for your lyrical help in the previous post – the song that I was searching for was “Love Letter” by Bonnie Raitt. Nowhere close to John Parr, but I guess at least I found out from the experience that there is a video for “Naughty, Naughty.” Who knew? I woke up this […]

People always want to […]

15 Albums That Changed My Life – The Friends Edition
No, no – I’m not talking about the television show. In response to 15 Albums That Changed My Life, a number of my friends weighed in with their own lists. I thought I’d share several of my favorites with you here…..the best part of being a music fan, is the diverse group of fellow music […]
El Rojo! Today is the day for The Bakerton Group (Clutch-related)
Clutch is one of those bands. You either like ’em, or you don’t. But from my side of the fence, how can you not? I’ll admit that it took me a little bit of time to figure out what Clutch was all about. And then I figured it out – if you like rock and […]
Queensryche – American Soldier – New Album In Stores In March
Okay kids, Matt Fun Fact #4012: I’m a big Queensryche fan. If you wondered if Operation Mindcrime II was worth hearing…..damn right it was! And Tribe, the album that came before it in 2003 was also good. Frontman Geoff Tate still has the lungs, and the return of former axeman Chris DeGarmo for some songwriting […]
