One of the great things about the Foo Fighters is that they tend to do quite a few radio broadcasts throughout the cycle of promoting a new album. 90 minutes to two hours worth of Foos favorites mixed with whatever new album they happen to be promoting at the time is always a good recipe […]
Tag: Rock Your Face Off
We’re everything your parents ever warned you about….
While looking over the Scene concert announcements for this week, one show jumped out at me. No, it wasn’t Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (playing Blossom this summer) or the announcement of Elton John’s first appearance in Youngstown. The Godz and Angel are coming to Lakewood, Ohio. They’ll be at The Breakfast Club (formerly The […]

Good Listening: Hall and Oates – Live in Chicago (1983)

And then, Friday […]
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 […]
Saturday nights were made for rockin’
Dateline: Saturday morning at 7am. I’m at the Rock Hall waiting in line to buy tickets for this year’s induction ceremony happening in Cleveland. For the first time ever, tickets are being sold to the public. Brian and I are determined to not be the suckers sitting at home watching it on TV while it’s […]
