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 […]

Stuff People Buy: Olivia Newton-John
It’s dirty secret reveal time here at ATV: Actually, we might have talked about this before, but my brain is currently frozen from the lemon ice I just ate towards the end of the work day. We’re about to say goodbye to our summer interns (hooray!) as we approach the end of summer, and our […]

ZZ Top – Live From Texas
They’re baaack! Full of blues, boogie and an ice-blue stage set, ZZ Top is back on the scene with its first full-length live album called Live From Texas. I know it came out in 2008 and you’ve probably seen clips of the DVD on VH1 Classic already but I figure what’s the hurry? They’ve been […]

The Band – The Last Waltz
Having my own music blog has really magnified one of the things that I love most about life – the musical journeys that you take, and are introduced to, by friends. A couple of weeks ago, I was catching up on the massive stack of blogs in my Google Reader…..which really makes me think about […]
Some Links To Know About – The Jigsaw, Propaghandi, The Alarm, + Bruce Springsteen
I’ve been ill over the past 24 hours after reading D.X. Ferris’s rundown of the downward spiral of Phil Lara and the Jigsaw Entertainment Group. In the past couple of years, Lara has purchased or taken a controlling interest in 4 prominent Cleveland-area landmarks – The Jigsaw Saloon and Stage, Peabody’s Down Under, The Hi-Fi […]
Trent Reznor got mad, and now he’s getting even
Thanks to Burgo for the Twitter heads up on this: UPDATED 1/12/08 (see below): Remember the plans that Trent Reznor had for a 3-D concert film documenting the recent Nine Inch Nails Lights in the Sky tour? As you’ll recall, the project fell through, allegedly due to Reznor’s former label Interscope declining to fund the […]
Latest purchases: The holiday weekend edition.
This morning I feel a bit like Jim Carrey hearing the voices and problems of everyone in Bruce Almighty. Except I’m hearing nothing but Duran Duran fans arguing over the band’s most recent album Red Carpet Massacre, which is at least humorous. I’m guessing that like GNR and Journey fans, they can probably keep going […]
More laserdiscs – Bon Jovi – Keep The Faith: An Evening with Bon Jovi
Still ‘lovin this holiday weekend! On today’s agenda, I’m meeting up with a friend of mine who will be driving me to an eye exam where I’ll finally get new glasses. Getting new glasses has been on my agenda for about a year now, and I decided to have her come along to be my […]
