I’ve been a fan of The Winter Sounds since their last album came out a few years ago. In that time period, they came to Cleveland and I missed the show, which is something that I’ve regretted nearly daily each day since then. (And as it turns out, I apparently missed a show in Canton […]

Random Youtube: Cyndi Lauper at Budokan
72 minutes of live pro-shot Cyndi Lauper from 1987. ‘Nuff said. Thanks to my rock and roll pal Marsha for the alert that this was on Youtube! [youtube_sc url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hluQ3hgzb7Q&feature=youtu.be”] Need more Cyndi? Well there’s this…. And hopefully you didn’t miss Cyndi’s official memoir which came out last year!
Random Youtube: Neon Trees ‘Everybody Talks’
Remember when MTV used to play music? Apparently, they still do on occasion, because I found myself watching the video for “Everybody Talks” by Neon Trees. Videos with an actual storyline almost seem like a lost art sometimes, with the landscape dominated by either performance clips or videos that are so simplistic that you find […]
Random Youtube: Hooters – ‘All You Zombies’
Once every couple of years or so, I have to hear “All You Zombies” by the Hooters. Today’s Youtube search brought me this live version from 2008. They’re still out there gigging occasionally and I’d love to see them. A 2009 double live album found the band revisiting their catalog as well as co-writes for […]
Random Youtube: Georgia Satellites at the Roskilde Festival
So I’m sitting here tonight watching some live Dan Baird & Homemade Sin on DVD (Fresh Out Of Georgia..Live Like A Satellite for those of you who want to play along at home….although warning, the DVD is PAL format…universally compatible MP3 and CD versions are here.) and the desire to share some of the clips […]
Random Youtube: Van Halen at the US Festival
Last night, I was hunting around for a Night Ranger DVD that refused to reveal itself. Instead, I found myself watching a long dormant copy of Van Halen’s classic performance at the US Festival in 1983. Although I saw the reunion tour three times, watching this really made me question whether or not I need […]
Del Amitri At Woodstock ’94 +
Former Dels drummer Ashley Soan is the source of these videos from the ‘Twisted’ era….and indeed, how “twisted” it is to see Del Amitri performing with such a happy backdrop behind them. This apparently was one of Soan’s early gigs with the band – on a tour that I was lucky enough to see several […]
A Hard Day’s Night: The REAL First Chord
For all of the times that I heard this as a kid, I never really gave a thought as to how it was manufactured. I LOVE this…and if you’re a Beatles fan, chances are good that you will too.
Alice in Chains take a ‘Right Turn’
Could it be that my recent discussion of the great ‘Sap’ EP by Alice in Chains inspired them to pull out a super-rarity for their return to the concert stage? According to The Pulse Of Radio, ALICE IN CHAINS ended a nearly 10-month break from the stage on August 13 with a sold-out, semi-acoustic show […]
Random Youtube: Dawes on Letterman and Live at the Beachland
Los Angeles, California remains as a fertile birthing place for great bands like Everest (a personal favorite) and more recently, the music of Dawes. Dawes is one of those bands that was heavily hyped to the point that I was skeptical. I heard their first album and was intrigued by the sounds, but the songs […]
