Ooooh we belong together, like traffic and weather, traffic and weather!
I loved the Fountains of Wayne album Traffic & Weather, and in my opinion, they didn’t perform the title track nearly enough. I think I saw them play it one time when they played the House of Blues here in Cleveland, and then alas, when I saw them later on that same tour, they didn’t […]
No static at The Winchester
Ask me how much I love the music of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker? Now, ask me how many times I’ve missed chances to see Fagen: My first exposure came via The New York Rock and Soul Revue in the early 90s. Missed them a couple of times. I’ve missed the Steely Dan reunion gigs […]

New Otis Redding best of due from Shout! Factory on October 20th
In my list of classic R&B / soul performers, Otis Redding easily lands in my top 5. It’s criminal after all of these years of enjoying Redding’s music, my overall knowledge of his complete output is still woefully incomplete. I definitely need to dig further into his catalog, and one of these days, I will […]

Whiskey Daredevils at The Beachland on Saturday night!
We got the following dispatch from Whiskey Daredevils frontman Greg Miller in the ol’ electronic ATV mailbox. The last time that we saw Miller, he had this crazed look in his eyes, staring up into the heavens while mumbling something we couldn’t quite understand. That was on New Year’s Eve at the Beachland, opening for […]
