Somewhere on my list of New Year’s resolutions, there’s a simple one: Must get replacement copy of Rocksteady, the newest album from Big Head Todd & The Monsters that came out earlier this year. True to its title, Rocksteady definitely maintains a steady rockin’ pace throughout the entire album, but the promo copy I received […]

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 […]
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 […]
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.

It Doesn’t Feel Like Christmas
…but after listening to this, I certainly feel happy! As mentioned. Go, download, listen and enjoy! (Doesn’t Glen sound great?)
“Lost” record from Glen Phillips finally comes home
Winter Pays For Summer by Toad the Wet Sprocket front man Glen Phillips is one of those great under-appreciated albums that for my money (and probably Glen’s too) is one that didn’t find nearly half the audience that it deserved at the time it was released in 2005. But then again, with 40 reviews on […]
Contest: Win “Clapton” by Eric Clapton on vinyl!
Congrats to Ian from Charlottesville for being the lucky winner of our contest for the vinyl edition of the Everest album On Approach, courtesy of Warner Brothers and Because Sound Matters! Whether it was intentional or not, the cover artwork for Eric Clapton’s latest album is a sobering sight. 21 years after Clapton’s shadowy face […]
The Jayhawks announce winter reunion shows + new album details
Good news: Those expanded Jayhawks reissues for Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass will finally be out on January 18th (and having had the chance to hear them, I can tell you that they are worth the wait, especially the one for TTGG). (Pre-order Hollywood Town Hall and Tomorrow The Green Grass from […]
Celebrating Christmas with Shelby Lynne
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, what comes next? The inevitable onslaught of Christmas holiday hell, of course! I’ll admit that this perhaps isn’t the best attitude to have going into another holiday season but all of the holiday cheer can become a bit tiresome, especially when it seems to keep showing up earlier […]
Merry Christmas from Wang Chung!
For those of you that are still rubbing your eyes in disbelief, spellbound that Wang Chung actually toured the U.S. this year AND released new music, check this out: There’s more. First, a ukelele-driven romp through “Rain” by The Beatles. And just in time for the holidays, a brand new Christmas original, from Wang Chung […]
