2013 finds the Eagles celebrating 42 years as a band (with a lengthy “vacation” break representing a good chunk of those years, of course) and they’ll do it in style with a tour and two-part documentary which will premiere on Showtime on February 15 and February 16. History of the Eagles – Story of an […]

Dave Grohl on Marc Maron’s WTF
One of the best things about Marc Maron’s new interview with Dave Grohl (which was posted on Thursday) is the fact that it really doesn’t feel like an interview at all. As is the style with a lot of Maron’s interviews, his conversation is just that – a very off-the-cuff conversation that finds two music fans […]
Essential Viewing: Sound City — The Movie
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 […]
DVD Review: “The Grateful Dead Movie”
If you missed out on being a Deadhead back in the day, in a sense, it’s never too late to start again for the first time. The Grateful Dead were so well documented both on audio and film that there are no shortage of ways to recreate the experience. Today’s version is missing some important […]
The Original 7ven – #Trendin
Morris Day and the complete original lineup of The Time recently released a new album called ‘Condensate,’ but if you missed the news, don’t feel too bad. The album has been released under the banner of “The Original 7ven” due to former Time associate Prince (he of the symbol, artist formerly known as, etc.) letting […]

Random Youtube: Journey – Frontiers and Beyond
This is a classic documentary if you haven’t seen it. The doc was briefly available officially in the late ’90s on DVD from Journey before it was pulled without explanation. When I had the chance to interview Neal Schon a short time later, he said (no surprise) that the DVD was pulled due to the […]
Random Youtube: Stevie Wonder – Hotter than July
Thanks to my good pal Mike Heyliger for turning me on to this one. You can read his personal ravings about this at Popblerd. The short version of it all is “watch this, it rules!” From the Youtube description: This rare documentary was broadcasted for the first time in 1981 by the BBC. It’s is […]
LEMMY….This weekend!
Hey folks, Don’t forget the exclusive Cleveland premiere for the Lemmy movie, happening on Sunday night at the Beachland Ballroom! The film starts at 8pm and we’re thrilled to have co-director Wes Orshoski joining us for the screening. Wes will intro the film and also will take part in a short question/answer session after the […]
Still Bill
If you haven’t seen this, you’ll definitely want to check it out. After screening to appreciative audiences over the past year or so, Still Bill finally is headed to DVD and will be released tomorrow with 5.1 surround sound, extras and all of that good stuff. I really should have known more about Bill Withers […]
