Good Listening: Beck – Lollipop Festival – 07/26/96
What can you say about Beck? Well….where do you want to begin? We probably don’t have the time… I’ll tell you this. Like everybody else that was in a band during the 90s, I covered “Loser” in my high school rock band. Looking back, we shoulda done “Pay No Mind” instead – I like that […]
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 […]
Too Much Evan Dando is Never Enough and Other 90s Misadventures Retold and Redrawn
As you’ll know from reading the stuff that shows up here, 90s nostalgia is everlasting and ongoing in my world. It never goes out of style. Today I joined a Facebook group for music fans that “grew up listening” to 107.9 The End, the legendary Cleveland alternative station in the 90s. The End was the […]
Wednesday: Dropping the needle in Los Angeles
Los Angeles peeps will have something to look forward to on Wednesday besides the usual smog, traffic, and people that look like famous people that probably are actually famous people. ATV reader Mitzye got in touch with me to let me know about the pending return of Album Sides Wednesday on KSWD-FM “100.3 The Sound.” […]
Scattered Musical Thoughts: GNR, Supermint and Dog Society
I couldn’t exactly think of a subject line that was completely appropriate, and the above seemed to at least cover it, although there are probably some that would argue (myself included!) that this blog is ALL about “scattered musical thoughts!” Anyway. Friday night, I got together with my buddy Corey for a long overdue hangout […]
The Meaning of Life according to Clint Eastwood and Little Steven
I picked up Esquire Magazine’s 8th annual Meaning of Life issue over the weekend. Fifty interviews, one person from each state. I was sucked in by Clint Eastwood on the cover, and also seeing the names of Little Steven…..and Chloë Sevigny? Inside the table of contents, Mickey Rourke. Sold. Side note: I kinda have a […]
Good Listening: Special Aimee Mann Holiday Edition
If you’re still searching around a bit for that Xmas spirit, boy do I have something that’s going to help out a lot! First, a quick flashback to last year’s holidays: Last year’s holiday cheer was provided in my household with the debut of a Christmas album from The Smithereens. You all remember how much […]
Documentary, Documentary – Cheech and Chong + Radio Daze on PBS
I had the day off on Monday – something that I really didn’t brag about in advance, because I value my safety….can’t have any of my fellow friends or co-workers after me to kick my ass, ya know? But yes, it was the glorious 5 day weekend that is coming to a very sad conclusion […]
A brief explanation for everything that will follow here
So you’ve come across this website, and perhaps you’re thinking “cool name, wonder what the heck is going to happen in these parts?” Well, perhaps I should first explain that we’re going to talk about a lot of things – not just stuff that’s vinyl related. Sure, that’s part of it, and we’ll get to […]
