This list comes from my radio buddy Brad Savage who programs a fantastic radio station in Charlottesville, VA, 106.1 The Corner. The Corner is one of those radio stations that I would love to steal and put in Cleveland….they’re always doing something cool, and I look forward to seeing their updated playlist each week in […]

Rod Stewart – Unplugged and Presumably Still Seated
So there’s this deluxe edition of Rod Stewart’s Unplugged….And Seated coming out next Tuesday, newly expanded with a couple of bonus tracks that weren’t on the original release, and for the first time, a DVD of the original MTV broadcast. Originally, I was going to simply post the press release for ATV readers that might […]
NIN interview hot off the presses
Nine Inch Nails are currently on tour in Australia, and NIN mainman Trent Reznor gave a rare in-person interview yesterday (2/22) to Triple J Radio. Reznor discusses the upcoming planned hiatus for NIN, the tour with Jane’s Addiction, and a wealth of other subjects. The interview runs 16 minutes and includes some cool memories of […]
15 Albums That Changed My Life – The Friends Edition
No, no – I’m not talking about the television show. In response to 15 Albums That Changed My Life, a number of my friends weighed in with their own lists. I thought I’d share several of my favorites with you here…..the best part of being a music fan, is the diverse group of fellow music […]
Good Listening: Beck – Lollipop Festival – 07/26/96
What can you say about Beck? Well….where do you want to begin? We probably don’t have the time… I’ll tell you this. Like everybody else that was in a band during the 90s, I covered “Loser” in my high school rock band. Looking back, we shoulda done “Pay No Mind” instead – I like that […]
Queensryche – American Soldier – New Album In Stores In March
Okay kids, Matt Fun Fact #4012: I’m a big Queensryche fan. If you wondered if Operation Mindcrime II was worth hearing…..damn right it was! And Tribe, the album that came before it in 2003 was also good. Frontman Geoff Tate still has the lungs, and the return of former axeman Chris DeGarmo for some songwriting […]
Good Listening: Ben Folds – Live in Berlin – 6-4-05
Greetings all, I’ve had a monstrous cocktail of the flu, bronchitis, and my usual friend asthma hanging out since this past Tuesday. During this unexpectedly fun week of hotel illness, I cracked the highest fever I’ve ever had – 104.5. I’m technically out of the woods now, but still lacking lots on the energy side […]
Too Much Evan Dando is Never Enough and Other 90s Misadventures Retold and Redrawn
As you’ll know from reading the stuff that shows up here, 90s nostalgia is everlasting and ongoing in my world. It never goes out of style. Today I joined a Facebook group for music fans that “grew up listening” to 107.9 The End, the legendary Cleveland alternative station in the 90s. The End was the […]
Hold On….Wilson Phillips is coming back
In 1990, I don’t think that I could have predicted that one day I’d be reading about a Wilson Phillips reunion via something called “the internet” on a website called The Music Slut. Am I a music slut too? The Music Slut led me to an article at FemaleFirst featuring a short interview with Carnie […]
Review: Jason and the Scorchers – Beachland Ballroom – 12/31/08
Well hello vinyl citizens! So it seems that I’ve been away for a little bit. I’m so behind the blogging 8 ball, I don’t know where to begin! Real life has been hogging up large amounts of my precious free time of late. Mother Nature also kindly decided to dump a hella-ton of snow on […]
