As I was digging around in my collection today, I pulled out two CDs worth of Chicago, recorded live in New York City in 1977. While this isn’t the best sounding show that I’ve got from Chicago, it was interesting to me at the time that I first got it a few years ago for […]

there’s nothing left of me but breaks and cuts….
Big props to my good pal KAP for pointing me towards the brand new Daytrotter session from Jenny Owen Youngs, posted a few days ago. My ears have been glued to the four song session since downloading it, and it doesn’t hurt that the session features “Dissolve,” one of my favorite tracks from Youngs’ latest […]
Good Listening: Matthew Sweet “Altered Beast” Demos, Vol. 2
This post is a combined rock and roll effort brought to you by the fine folks at Addicted to Vinyl and captain’s dead. Our man Gregor recently posted the first volume of a two volume set of Matthew Sweet demos from the Altered Beast album. I got in touch with Gregor and let him know […]
Good Listening: Indigo Girls – New York City 3/26/09
From talking with fellow music loving friends, we all agree that Poseidon and the Bitter Bug – the new album from the Indigo Girls, is their best album in a really long time. It’s been quite a while since I’ve paid real attention to an Indigo Girls release – Swamp Ophelia was the last one […]
Flashback: The Smithereens and The Kinks
In addition to kicking out their own catalog of work over the years, The Smithereens have also provided backing band duties for a number of their musical heroes, including Otis Blackwell, The Beau Brummels, and The Kinks, to name a few.

Good Listening: Icehouse – Live in Australia 1988
I was having an odd Saturday night at home hanging out on Twitter. Earlier that day I spent the afternoon cleaning house with my new roommate. Here’s how that went down… Earlier in the week, she asked me “What do you think about a day of cleaning on Saturday?” The voice inside my head immediately […]
The Smithereens – Now and Then
Gotta give thanks here at the top to Brian and The Frontloader for helping to spread the word about my current vinyl contest in support of Record Store Day. Yes kids, a contest in which YOU can win some free vinyl from your good ol’ buddy Matt here at Addicted to Vinyl. All I need […]
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 […]
