Last night, my dad and I went to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for an evening of question and answer with country singer-songwriter Marty Stuart. In the 90s, Marty made one of my favorite country records This One’s Gonna Hurt You, an album that came across my desk as a promo while working […]

5 from Jules Shear + More about “More”
Consider this a followup to my post about the new Jules Shear album More that I posted here yesterday. But first, I need to tell you how I got into the music of Jules Shear. Some of my best friends are friends that I met who were working at record stores I went to frequently. […]
Santa’s gonna bring me a new Armored Saint album!
Something else to look forward to in 2009…..STOKED!! Hey Rob, you’d better be going to the show in March at the Key Club, or we’re no longer friends!!! 🙂 From the band’s Myspace page: Due to the nature of vague speculation albeit created by your authors here, Armored Saint are officially announcing that they’ve begun […]
New album available now from Jules Shear!
So I’m sitting around tonight, and I had a thought that has come around occasionally in recent months: What the heck is Jules Shear up to? If you’re asking me who Jules is – here’s a couple of stats – As a songwriter, he wrote “All Through The Night” for Cyndi Lauper, and “If She […]
Facebook Fun: So this one time, we were talking about Coldplay and Joe Satriani….
Blogging buddy and occasional Ohio resident Kevin Mason throws me a nice shoutout that documents on video the recent conversation that several of us had on Facebook that started with a simple comment about Kevin’s status update, which had to do with the whole Coldplay/Joe Satriani thing. By the time it was over, the comment […]
Friday Youtube Fun: The Great Big Yes + big big rock star hair

Today’s scheduled activities
Going to Detroit to see Neil Young and Wilco at the Palace of Auburn Hills. I got a record company download of Neil’s new Sugar Mountain archival release that I’m not taking with me, but it will make for some good listening when I get back. It’s looking like we hopefully got most of the […]
Good Listening: Bruce Hornsby – Cleveland Music Hall – 11/20/93
Fifteen years ago, a Cleveland music fan in his late teens walked into Music Hall on the fence about Bruce Hornsby. He’d heard the necessary tunes, but had a couple of albums missing from his Hornsby collection. Yeah, that was me, and I couldn’t have picked a better show to fill in the gaps on […]
Documentary, Documentary – Cheech and Chong + Radio Daze on PBS
I had the day off on Monday – something that I really didn’t brag about in advance, because I value my safety….can’t have any of my fellow friends or co-workers after me to kick my ass, ya know? But yes, it was the glorious 5 day weekend that is coming to a very sad conclusion […]
