Editor’s note: We’re going to turn things over to my tattoo covered brother from another mother, Brian from Broken Headphones for today’s post. In the following installment, Brian takes a look at the new Jane’s Addiction box set A Cabinet Full of Curiosities. Before I even start this review I have one thing to say […]

Quick Hits: Alice in Chains, The Grog Shop, Coldplay
Greetings all, I hope this dispatch finds you in the best of places and moods. I’m typing this to you on the other side of day one of the annual Columbus, OH mega-rock weekend Rock On The Range. I went down for the first day with D.X. Ferris from Scene Magazine, and for this guy, […]
Quick Hits: The Wrestler, The Yayhoos, Mix Tapes, & Lemonheads
Hey kids, I had a “moment” this past week. Occasionally, I’ll lend out music to friends, although if I have my ultra-anal thinking cap on, I’ll often just burn them a copy instead. In this case, I wasn’t thinking straight (not the first time that this has happened.) A couple of weeks later, my co-worker […]
Eddie Money – The Covers EP – Volume 1
Ever wanted to hear Eddie Money cover Train, the Beatles, AC/DC, and the Four Tops? No? Well, he doesn’t care. That’s the snarky message that I read from my friend Jeff this morning on Twitter. There is no faster way to get me to buy music than to drop the name of one of my […]
Introducing Joshua Jesty’s “Girl”
I’ve been a bad friend. Speaking in general terms, this is nothing new. Speaking about Joshua Jesty, it deserves a little bit more explanation. Josh is one of those guys that I constantly owe him a phone call. Or an email. He’s calling me to see if I want to hang out. I’m telling him […]
Rusted Root – Dance In The Middle
I’ll offer apologies again for that epic Grammy Award acceptance-length speech that came from me earlier today. Like I said, in future years I think it is safe to assume that there will be no similar posts, or if there is a post, it will be a heck of a lot shorter. But yeah, in […]
Good Listening: Indigo Girls – New York City 3/26/09
From talking with fellow music loving friends, we all agree that Poseidon and the Bitter Bug – the new album from the Indigo Girls, is their best album in a really long time. It’s been quite a while since I’ve paid real attention to an Indigo Girls release – Swamp Ophelia was the last one […]
Quick Hits: Material Issue, Bruce Springsteen, Career Advice for Aging Rockers, Neil Diamond
Oh internet friends of mine, it’s been a looooong time since we’ve done one of these Quick Hits type of posts. I’m getting ready to point my car towards Michigan for night #2 of the J. Geils Band reunion shows in Detroit, happening Saturday night. The band are reuniting for a pair of shows in […]
Wilco – Ashes of American Flags DVD
I can’t imagine that there are any Wilco fans that haven’t nabbed the new concert film Ashes of American Flags that is out on DVD right now as part of an exclusive one week release at indie retailers to celebrate Record Store Day, prior to a regular scheduled release on April 28th at all major […]
Record Store Day roundtable: Discussing the resurgence of metal vinyl with key record labels
Saw this very cool post from my buddy Mark Morton and had to share it here for everyone’s enjoyment. In the post, Mark and a panel of heavy hitters from the industry take a look at the renewed popularity of vinyl, specifically the metal genre, and the overall impact that it is making in the […]
