I think I’ve met my match – a guy that has been to just as many (or maybe more) concerts as I have. And he’s got the ticket stubs to prove it. Click here to check out Jeff Verseman’s very cool collection of ticket stubs from the 70s to present day!

Extreme release new album called Saudades De Rock next week + the scoop on Maiden Heaven
A week from today (8/12,) reactivated Boston rockers Extreme, will release their first release of new material in 13 years titled Saudades De Rock. (If you’re scratching your head on the above, it is pronounced “sow-dodge de rock”, which roughly translates from Portuguese as “Nostalgic Yearning for Rock”) While rejoicing at the prospects of new […]
Good Listening: Gov’t Mule and Dave Matthews Band
This is part two of promised posts to “rock your weekend.” I had to pull the Black Keys post that was up earlier offline (hopefully temporarily.) So we’ll skip ahead to the second planned post. It was practically Jam Band Week here in Cleveland – The Black Crowes were at the House of Blues for […]
Counting Crows offer free concert download
I’m on the Counting Crows email list, so I’m not quite sure how I missed this, but the Counting Crows have partnered with LiveDownloads.Com to launch an official concert download site. To celebrate the launch of LiveCountingCrows.Com, the band are offering a free download (for the first 10,000 fans) of their Charlotte, NC concert, recorded […]
Music to annoy your co-workers with…
How to annoy a co-worker that you share an office with: (post inspired by a recent gift of Journey music) There are several proven methods on how to do this, but here are today’s potential entries: Two hours-plus of Yes, recorded live at Montreux in 2003. Add two hours worth of Sarah McLachlan, recorded live […]
You left the state without me!
More good stuff from Juliana Hatfield, who I’ve blogged about before in this space. I’ve been reading her blogs via her Myspace page, but she actually does have a proper blog right here, which is where this entry comes from. You’ll find lots of good rock and roll war stories like this one: LITTLE PIECES […]
Tour News: Matthew Sweet
I’ve had a Matthew Sweet post on tap for a while, that’s been holding, because I was hoping to dig up a “sweet” show that I’ve got from the tour for In Reverse. That’s going to have to wait, because that particular disc remains lost somewhere in “will I ever find all of my stuff” […]
10 Artists Who Should Stop Making Records
I hate lists like this one from MSN Music. In the way they are formatted making you go page by page to view each individual list item, it feels like a cheap attempt to drive up web traffic with posts that are virtually worthless. Yes, we know that The Who need to stop making albums. […]
Song of the Moment – Del Amitri – A Better Man
Remember how we were talking about Del Amitri, and some of their best material winding up in B-Side Land instead of on the albums? I heard one of those songs (on my Ipod) as I was out today driving around sunny suicidal Cleveland. Chew on these lyrics for “A Better Man”….. Yes I know, things […]
Great adventures in musical segues part one….
Those of you that appreciate the art of the musical segue will dig this. We’re doing a 90s weekend at the radio station, and I had a couple of great ones….. The first one – got a call from someone requesting “American Music” (video) by Violent Femmes which I threw in before “Trigger Happy Jack” […]
