When I logged into the ATV control panel, it made the Aerosmith sound. I can’t tell you exactly what that means, but briefly, it just means that it’s been a helluva long while since the last time we spoke. (Speaking of Aerosmith, I got a chance to interview guitarist Brad Whitford briefly last week….woooooo! The […]

2011 Crosby/Nash gigs now available as official downloads
Sometime after I got my hands on a copy of the Crosby/Nash HDNet broadcast from earlier this year, I came across information which revealed that the dynamic Stills-less duo had also been selling copies of their shows from the current tour on USB after each performance. Being a total nerd for live shows, I was […]
Random Youtube: Duran Duran – All You Need Is Now
All You Need Is Now is seriously the great Duran Duran album that a lot of Duran fans probably never thought they’d hear again, but they’ve certainly done right with their latest album, produced by Mark Ronson. The album has been available as an Itunes exclusive since late last year and will drop in CD […]
Free Live Noise from Bruce Hornsby
With a new live record due in 2011 (plus the debut of his forthcoming musical), Bruce Hornsby is a busy guy. So it makes sense that he would choose September during a period of the closest thing to what he calls “downtime” to debut a new live download series (powered by Nugs.net) with a free […]
Flashback: The Smithereens and The Kinks

Here’s an interesting note on how the collaboration with The Kinks came about, taken […]

Gotta give thanks here at the top to Brian and The Frontloader for helping to spread the word about my current vinyl contest in support of Record Store Day. Yes kids, a contest in which YOU can win some free vinyl from your good ol’ buddy Matt here at Addicted to Vinyl. All I need […]
Good Listening: Ben Folds – Live in Berlin – 6-4-05
Greetings all, I’ve had a monstrous cocktail of the flu, bronchitis, and my usual friend asthma hanging out since this past Tuesday. During this unexpectedly fun week of hotel illness, I cracked the highest fever I’ve ever had – 104.5. I’m technically out of the woods now, but still lacking lots on the energy side […]
Thanksgiving pre-game action to keep your ears busy
My mom asks me what I’m looking forward to about the family Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I quickly replied that I was looking forward to arriving at 4pm, and being back home before 6pm. The response on the other end of the phone line as you can probably guess, was silence. Of course I was being […]
Exploring the new business model of music with Big Head Todd & The Monsters
I first heard Big Head Todd & The Monsters via their excellent 90s release Sister Sweetly, which is definitely in my short list of albums that are great from the first track to the last, and could be desert island discs for many. Problem is, that there are many that still haven’t heard this great […]
