One of my most highly anticipated releases of the year is the upcoming Sound City documentary from Dave Grohl. Admittedly, the year is very young, but all other documentaries that come out after this one will have stiff competition to live up to. Grohl continues to prove that he’s just as much of a music […]
Collected….
The collection. Whether it’s physical or digital, it’s all in disarray. Tonight, I had to re-locate a Rembrandts acoustic show that I thought I had converted to digital long ago (found it!) and I discovered that the Third Eye Blind albums that I joked about still having in my collection are in fact, long gone. […]
Driving the last spike….
How to sum up 2012 in a few words? “Genesis-obsessed” might take care of it with several characters to spare. A few interviews with former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett found me diving back into my love of the music of Genesis, moving deeper into the less-explored waters of the Peter Gabriel era. A September trip […]
2012 Favorites, ATV Style
In the almost five years that I’ve had this Addicted to Vinyl thing, I don’t think I’ve ever gotten around to posting a “best of” list.

For those too young to know, Ed Sullivan was television’s grandmaster of variety shows, a host whose collection of acts penetrated living rooms across America for 23 […]
SOME GIRLS LIVE IN TEXAS ’78

Not quite 1975’s Tour of the Americas, but stadiums, small clubs, and national TV were on the itinerary. During the few years the band had been away, much […]

Neil Young & Los Lobos: Cleveland 10-8-12
Look out mama, there’s some greybeards comin’ up the river. They may look like your old hippie parents or grandparents, but they are really one of rock music’s most enduring and consistent bands, Crazy Horse. Playing as if the clock never moved over the last 40-plus some years, it was a treat to see Neil […]
