Hello kids, Thought I would spotlight briefly, a couple of things that have been in my ears this past week. First, a few links of interest for your enjoyment: Leading up to the Rock Hall induction ceremonies, I’ve been talking Metallica with my former radio comrade Chris Akin and Cleveland Scene’s D.X. Ferris. The first […]

Cage Match: Fleetwood Mac vs. Hall & Oates – What’s Your Vote?
This one requires a bit of set-up: I’m going to ask you to vote for two different songs – one by Fleetwood Mac, and one by Hall & Oates. Before we get to that, let’s cover the backstory on how we got to this point. I’ll have the occasional musical debate with my good friend […]
Listening Party: Check out new releases from Queensrÿche and Jane’s Addiction
It’s been a brutally busy week here in Vinylland, which is Vinyl-speak for “the real world has been kicking my ass this week.” As usual, it’s been the music helping me to maintain my alleged sanity, including a trip back to 1997 with the Dog’s Eye View album Daisy, paired with lots of new music, […]
Bruce Springsteen & The E. Street Band – 10 Years Back & Still Burnin’ Down The Road

The Not So Pretty Parts of Cleveland…
I wanted to share this with ATV readers that live for some unknown reason outside of our beloved zipcode.

First up […]

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 […]
Saturday nights were made for rockin’
Dateline: Saturday morning at 7am. I’m at the Rock Hall waiting in line to buy tickets for this year’s induction ceremony happening in Cleveland. For the first time ever, tickets are being sold to the public. Brian and I are determined to not be the suckers sitting at home watching it on TV while it’s […]
Scattered Musical Thoughts: GNR, Supermint and Dog Society
I couldn’t exactly think of a subject line that was completely appropriate, and the above seemed to at least cover it, although there are probably some that would argue (myself included!) that this blog is ALL about “scattered musical thoughts!” Anyway. Friday night, I got together with my buddy Corey for a long overdue hangout […]
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 […]
