I was having an odd Saturday night at home hanging out on Twitter. Earlier that day I spent the afternoon cleaning house with my new roommate. Here’s how that went down… Earlier in the week, she asked me “What do you think about a day of cleaning on Saturday?” The voice inside my head immediately […]

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. My rock and roll comrade @veryloud, sometimes also known as Schumacher, recently posted a short film on Twitter that led me to several other short films that he had created about our fair city. First up […]
I’m a naughty naughty guy….
I’m having one of those periodic moments in life where I get a song in my head that I’ve heard a billion times, and I can’t think of what it is. Tonight’s entry features the following lyric: I’ve got my radio on….. (big stacked background vocals – raaaadio oooooon) It’s a male singer – song […]

I actually enjoy reading this kind […]
On Valentine’s Day
This is my first V-Day post, so it’s not quite a tradition yet…but just wait until next year! I’ve got a suspiciously timed dinner with my parents tonight, arranged with an early morning phone call. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps my parents have me on suicide watch on this hallowed chocolate covered day of luv. Or perhaps […]
When We Get to Surf City
My friend Pat sent me a Twitter message, “Dude, I can’t believe you didn’t respond to my Fountains of Wayne reference on Twitter.” “I was READING A BOOK,” I replied. “In no way believes that @addictedtovinyl was reading anything that was not online” was the Twitter reply from Pat. Strange but true. You’ll recall a […]
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. […]
