Setlist: Wang Chung in Cleveland, 7/3/10
I’m a firm believer in certain things that are unspoken non-negotiable topics of discussion. For example, if we are driving and see a record store, you’d better believe that we’re stopping. If the B-52s are playing in Chattanooga while we’re at Bonnaroo, you’ll drive me there and drop me off before you go back to […]
Summer Rock Fun: Catch 10 shows for 10 bucks per show
Live Nation is pulling out all the stops for the last 10 days of No Service Fees June by offering fans a $10 ticket deal for a new show each day for the next 10 days. For Cleveland folks, if you’re reading this right now (Monday evening), you can grab yourself a pair of lawn […]
Video: Jon Anderson and the beginnings of Yes
There’s some new video online courtesy of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame featuring longtime Yes vocalist Jon Anderson. For those of you that missed Jon’s performance with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra of Cleveland last month, you’ll really enjoy this.

Talkin’ Mojo
This week has been an important one for music fans, with the release of Mojo, the first new album of studio material from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in 8 years. A week like this is one that’s full of debate – is it good? does it suck? What do you think? These are not […]
Bettie Serveert in Cleveland (and beyond)
How long has it been since I cared about a Bettie Serveert album? That’s a good question. The last time that I saw the band live was in 1993 at the old Peabody’s Down Under, touring in support of Lamprey. I bought a couple more albums after that one, and then, I tuned out. Their […]
Headed to Cleveland: STP with no service fees + Barenaked Ladies
Scott Weiland and the DeLeo bros will be back in Cleveland on August 22nd at Time Warner Cable Amphitheater. Cage The Elephant supports, and if you love GA shows, you’ll love the fact that all of the tickets for this one are GA. Barenaked Ladies will also be in Cleveland this summer, back at their […]
Stranger in a Strange Band: A Conversation with Kelly Hansen of Foreigner
I have to give Mick Jones a lot of credit. With over 25 years of success with Foreigner on his resume (not to mention a nice little side career producing albums like Van Halen’s 5150 and Billy Joel’s Storm Front), it’s not like he had anything else left to prove. The proof is in the […]
Setlist Spoilers: Tom Petty & Sting
As the title implies, there are setlist “spoilers” below for two upcoming/current summer tours, so if you want things to remain a surprise, you should turn back now. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers opened their tour on Tuesday night at the legendary Red Rocks in Denver, a two night stand for Petty and crew, who […]
Man Date: Cracker at Musica
Ain’t it funny how I was reminiscing about my last man date with the Cleveland Bachelor earlier this morning (the last one that really mattered, anyway), and in the middle of the day, the man date schedulers (whoever those dudes are) sent me an email to let me know that our next scheduled man date […]
