Good morning from Cleveland! Last night, I was at home working in the flowerbeds as rain began to fall. It was a steady rain, but nothing heavy to the point where I would seek shelter. That part came later, and for the moment I was planting flowers that are either going to bloom fantastically, or […]

The Lemonheads vs. Metallica, Oasis, and REO Speedwagon
Welcome to the weekend, folks! Mark today down as the day that Matt (me!) learned that I really need to investigate the B-sides/rarities of The Lemonheads, i.e. one of my favorite groups from the 90’s! Lemonheads albums It’s A Shame About Ray and Come On Feel The Lemonheads got a TON of play in my […]
Imeem/Sleater-Kinney
I’m just going to take a moment to talk about today’s latest musical web addiction in my world. I have a new friend, and I can tell already that we’re going to be really good friends. I say “friend,” but actually it’s merely the website Imeem. I’ve been aware of Imeem for quite some time, […]
CD Review: The Smithereens – Live in Concert
When I pass on from this world, it is my hope that my next of kin will see within my musical collection, a large group of recordings from a particular group from New Jersey, called The Smithereens. If I have my way, curiosity will strike them, they’ll put one of the albums on, and a […]

Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Chickenfoot
Good stuff from Melodicrock.com – there are new developments in the Sammy Hagar project titled “Chickenfoot” that now apparently include Joe Satriani. Let’s stop for a second: Chickenfoot is a horrendous name. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I am definitely excited to see one of my favorite singers pair with one […]

Top 5: Album Openers
First of all, shucks – my longtime Cleveland pal Len over at Jawbone Radio gave this baby blog a very nice shout-out. Jawbone is a great Cleveland-based podcast that once upon a time, I was blessed enough to be on as a guest. Len is also among other things, a big Star Wars fan, which […]
LIVE: The B-52’s at House of Blues Cleveland 4/29/08
I had one of those “God, I feel kind of old moments” last week. I had tickets to see The B-52’s at the House of Blues here in Cleveland, and I realized that it’s been 16 years since the last time The B’s and I saw each other. I was in high school in 1992, […]
Song of the Moment: Jackyl – Locked and Loaded
Funny randomness – My rock and roll comrade TDavid had a post today talking about among other things, the upcoming album from AC/DC, which is currently being helmed by Brendan O’Brien, who has certainly had his hands on a number of great rock albums over the years, and maintains a diverse selection of clients from […]
