I know that we’re only a few days into this new year, but Demons, the new record from Cowboy Junkies is already percolating through my speakers as a release that will be one of my favorites for the year and I don’t think that I’ll be alone on this one. The Junkies have rarely dropped […]

Dada in Philly on New Year’s Eve
I’ll admit that I was a tad jealous of Kevin’s good fortune – he put up a post about a missing Bruce Cockburn Christmas broadcast that he’d enjoy having a copy of and just a short time after that, we had an email in the ATV mailbox offering up a download of the broadcast. So […]
Good Listening: A Cockburn Christmas Miracle
If you’ve been following the series of Bruce Cockburn Christmas-themed broadcasts that Kevin has been posting in the past week, the following story might warm your heart. Or at the very least, you’ll appreciate one last piece of holiday musical booty. In the last installment, Kevin noted that there were a total of 5 Cockburn […]
Good Listening: Christmas with Chicago
I need better connections in Youngstown (that’s in Ohio, for those of you that are either unfamiliar with the Springsteen song of the same name or living in one of the other states not named Ohio). In the past few weeks, I’ve missed concerts from both Eddie Money and Bryan Adams in the Youngstown area. […]
Colin Gawel gives us all a reason to still love Christmas
A few weeks ago when Terry Anderson of the Yayhoos came to town for a show at the Beachland Ballroom, I finally had the opportunity to see Colin Gawel (front man for the longtime Columbus rockers Watershed) perform. Prior to his acoustic opening set, I was talking to ATV friend Bill Stone (also on that […]
What’s your price for flight?
If you’ve been wishing for a dosage of prime ’80s Night Ranger, it’s your lucky day. The fine folks at Wolfgang’s Vault recently made the band’s Midnight Madness-era performance (recorded in 1984 in Michigan) available for download. For Ohio State fans, this means that you can purchase this wonderfully hairy performance and listen to such […]
God save The Smithereens (and let’s send them on tour!)
Smithereens front man Pat DiNizio has a question for you, the wise music fan: Our new original SMITHEREENS album is nearly completed and our tentative release date is May 2011! We are now putting together a national coast-to-coast summer tour, and need your suggestions and ideas. Let’s say that it will be THE SMITHEREENS, plus […]
Me & Jay Nash with a side of Max Weinberg
ATV favorite Jay Nash has a new album coming out early next year. In a brief conversation for the Riverfront Times, Nash gave me a good amount of scoop regarding the new disc and I’m especially excited to hear that bass man extrordinaire Rob Wasserman is handling the low end on Nash’s new material. Check […]

The Damnwells set release date for new album
The Popdose Mellowmas guys have been drunk on holiday eggnog for nearly two weeks now, but I have a news item that will grab the attention of Popdose majordomo Jeff Giles (he always insists that we should call him “Majordomo Executus” in public for some odd reason). It seems that The Damnwells have finally set […]
