New Releases This Week: Pet Shop Boys, Alicia Keys, Nirvana
This will probably be the last new releases post for the year with the holidays approaching – but to wrap things up, there are some interesting titles this week, including a live Tears for Fears set from the tour for The Seeds of Love, and also a holiday EP from the Pet Shop Boys. The […]
Lloyd Cole: Past, Present and Future
While perusing the Winchester’s schedule on Sunday night, my jaw dropped at the show announced for January 27, 2010: Lloyd Cole Trio. I immediately flashed back to 2006. In November of that year, I flew to Cleveland for a few days, with the express purpose of catching Placebo at the Agora and Cole at the […]
New Releases This Week: 30 Seconds to Mars, Neil Young, Kraftwerk vinyl
For those of you following along at home – the closer that we get to Christmas Day, you’ll notice that the new releases will continue to dwindle. But on a positive note, we mentioned one particular artist in the past two updates, and now he’s got himself a Cleveland show booked. So since we’re a […]
New Releases This Week: Neil Diamond, The Bravery, Bob Seger
Now that we’re past Thanksgiving, it’s now officially time to think about Christmas shopping and the large amounts of holiday stress that come free with every order. Since it’s the holidays and all, this also means that the record label folks are starting to take lots of time off, which leaves the schedule of releases […]

Cage Match: Tom Petty vs. Tom Petty
Since it’s the week of Thanksgiving, filled with special family time and nightmarish visits from relatives, I’ve been reflecting on the things that I’m thankful for. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, for instance. I know this seems like an odd thing to mention right off the bat, but has any one of your family members […]
New Releases This Week: Paul McCartney, Starship, Them Crooked Vultures
The holidays must be coming up, because there are quite a few reissues on tap, and also new music from Boyz II Men (yipe!), John Mayer and the “super-group” pairing of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and Zep bass player John Paul Jones as Them Crooked Vultures. Kris Allen – Kris Allen – You know, the […]
CD Review: Bon Jovi – The Circle
Wait a minute! I was under the impression that The Circle was to be Bon Jovi’s return to form album. Sadly though, “returning to form” leaves a lot to the interpretation as to what “form” is. For those of us that discovered Bon Jovi early on and helped to raise them to superstardom, “form” means […]
Bill Stone of Paranoid Lovesick: The ATV Interview
This weekend will bring a multitude of glorious events, all happening right here in Cleveland. Now, I can already hear you out-of-town types starting to snicker a bit – knock it off! Cleveland IS cool – say it with me, and you’ll start to understand! The world renowned International Pop Overthrow festival will make what […]
