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 […]

Keeping ya’ll up to date
Hello loyal Vinyl readers…what’s going on? I’ve been keeping busy here in Cleveland, playing the part of “homeowner,” and recent highlights in that part of my world include buying a hedge trimmer to trim parts of the small forest that is threatening to take over my back yard. Speaking of that, I’ve also got a […]

T-Ride, I forgot all about you!
Thanks to my retro 80s loving pal Corey, I thought of T-Ride today. You haven’t heard of T-Ride…..what? Wikipedia describes T-Ride as being noted for its wildly complex instrument and vocal arrangements. That’s funny, because I wasn’t aware that ANYONE besides Corey, myself, and perhaps maybe the people that saw them opening for Joe Satriani […]
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 […]
