Clutch reveal 2009 plans for world domination
My buddy Brian and I are big Clutch fans. In fact, did we ever tell you about the time that we were supposed to go see Clutch at the House of Blues during the Thanksgiving holiday break? We showed up, and our names were not on the guest list. Despite being kind of a big […]

Musical Hangups: The Hooters – All You Zombies
Peter Chakerian and I were trading text messages yesterday about a new double live album from Philly rockers The Hooters. The talk made me pull out my copy of the Hooterization retrospective to provide the soundtrack for my drive to the Beachland Ballroom last night. On the drive over, I became reacquainted with “All You […]
Quick Hits: The Wrestler, The Yayhoos, Mix Tapes, & Lemonheads
Hey kids, I had a “moment” this past week. Occasionally, I’ll lend out music to friends, although if I have my ultra-anal thinking cap on, I’ll often just burn them a copy instead.

Rusted Root – Dance In The Middle
I’ll offer apologies again for that epic Grammy Award acceptance-length speech that came from me earlier today. Like I said, in future years I think it is safe to assume that there will be no similar posts, or if there is a post, it will be a heck of a lot shorter. But yeah, in […]
Hell freezes over and in related news, The Oak Ridge Boys cover The White Stripes
Sometimes a new blog post just drops into your lap, like a gift from rock and roll heaven, hurled downward by Rock and Roll Jesus his self. Such is the case with today’s post. I’m sitting here, and an email pops into my box that says “New Release from Oak Ridge Boys – Seven Nation […]
Def Leppard to release deluxe editions of Pyromania and Adrenalize in June
Now here’s a couple of releases that have been on my radar for a little while that I am VERY excited about! Def Leppard isn’t doing much that excites me these days, but Pyromania, Hysteria, and Adrenalize are the holy trinity amongst the stacks and stacks of albums that I loved in the 80s and […]

I’d like to start by congratulating Craig & Stacy – They are the lucky winners of vinyl copies of the new Thin Lizzy live album Still Dangerous! Congratulations to you both! If that winner isn’t you, don’t be sad, read onward! Thanks to my man Rob and the fine folks at Warner Brothers Records, I’ve […]

Sweet and Hoffs will drop Under The Covers Vol. 2 on July 21st via the fine folks at Shout! Factory. Under […]
