I just watched Come Rain or Shine, the Genesis film that documents the preparatory process as the band and their crew worked to get ready for the first Genesis tour in 15 years. The film has been showing recently on VH-1 Classic (and apparently, you can also watch it on Hulu – see below) and […]

Lion’s Den!
I never thought I’d hear this one outside of listening to it on my copy of Tracks, so I was severely geeked to see (well, virtually anyway) Bruce Springsteen pull out “Lion’s Den” last night at the first MSG show. Now that they appear to have worked up a nice arrangement for the band, I […]
Stream The Entire Counting Crows ‘Underwater Sunshine’ Album
That’s right, not a song….not several songs, but the whole damn thing. If you’ve been reading along here recently, you’ll know that I’ve been pretty stoked about the new Counting Crows covers release Underwater Sunshine, which comes out April 10th. Perhaps more stoked than anyone should normally get about a covers album from any band, […]
Slash Loves Analog…And Vinyl Records Too
You can add Slash to the list of rock and roll folks who maintain a love for the black wax. When he’s not jamming with legends like B.B. King, you’ll find him enthusing about all things analog, as was the case during a recent interview with Loudwire talking about his upcoming album Apocalyptic Love, which […]
Soul Asylum Announce July Release Date For New Album
From a recording standpoint, things have been fairly quiet in the Soul Asylum camp since they released their last studio album The Silver Lining in 2006. That’s about to change thanks to a newly announced deal with 429 Records which will enable the band to release Delayed Reaction on July 17th, filing the next chapter […]
Joe Walsh And The James Gang Ride Again…
This picture says quite a bit…. While this picture adds a few more details… ….and this article fills in the rest of the gaps. As a rock and roll geek for life, it’s no shock that I love moments like this…and it’s even cooler when they happen right here in Cleveland. Take that, Cleveland bashers, […]

New music from Aerosmith….sort of.
I missed the news last week that the first bit of “new” music from Aerosmith will be hitting our ears in June. “New” because it is a Get a Grip-era outtake called “Legendary Child” that will be featured on the soundtrack for the movie G.I. Joe: Retaliation which is set for release on June 29th. […]
Contest: Win both volumes of Journey’s ‘Greatest Hits’ on vinyl!
Journey released Greatest Hits on November 15th, 1988. Sometime around that time, I saw it in my local record store (the sorely missed Crow’s Nest in Crest Hill, Illinois) and had to pick up a copy. Despite what my good Twitter pal @jukebox65 might want to believe, I was not a Journey diehard at that […]
Fifteen years ago today….this happened.
That’s the simple message posted with the Whatever and Ever Amen album cover on the Ben Folds Facebook page today. Fifteen years later, Ben Folds Five is in the midst of recording a new album, after a period of inactivity in which it looked possible that we might have seen the last of the BFF. […]
