Here’s some great vintage video of future 99x (and current WRXP/New York) program director/personality Leslie Fram discussing Heart’s “All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You” on the Mobile, AL based television program The Uncle Henry Show, a song that Henry terms as “the worst rock song of all time.” Wow, that was […]

Cage Match: Xmas Edition Vol. 3 – Run DMC vs. The Waitresses
The big man is just around the corner, with his everpresent bag of toys and goodies, so we need to say goodbye for now, with our final Cage Match of 2009. We’ve got two more holiday classics for you this week! Perhaps you’d prefer to hear it on vinyl? Lots of covers of this one, […]
Video: A Very Perry Christmas
The only reason that this isn’t real, is because Steve Perry hasn’t thought of it. Yet. Thanks to Kurt for this one!
Video: Paul McCartney – Wonderful Christmas Time LIVE!
For the first time in 30 years, “Wonderful Christmas Time” found its way back into Paul McCartney’s setlist, because it’s that time of the year, right? As we mentioned in the Cage Match a couple of weeks ago, McCartney hinted in interviews prior to this winter tour that he might drag it out for the […]
Cage Match: Xmas Edition Vol. 2: Tom Petty vs. John Cougar Mellencamp

Good Listening: Steve Poltz at Daytrotter
Kudos to Jeff Giles for hipping me to the just-posted Daytrotter Session with Steve Poltz. Anybody who knows Poltz will know that he doesn’t mess around, so while some artists might play an unreleased song or two for Daytrotter, Steve played nine. As I said on Twitter, if you’re not hip to Poltz – get […]
Video: Cracker in Iraq
Earlier this week, I spoke with Cracker frontman David Lowery regarding the upcoming winter run of tour dates for Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven. The interview, which will run soon in the Riverfront Times, was a good opportunity to chat with Lowery about a number of subjects. One of the things that I was most […]
Cage Match: Xmas Edition Vol. 1: Paul McCartney vs. Billy Squier
While discussing recent Cage Match activities, my co-worker Rebecca suggested a battle between a couple of Christmas tunes. Suddenly, an additional idea sprung into my head – a holiday themed Cage Match each week leading up to Christmas! It was so simple…..and why hadn’t I thought of this easy cop-out great idea sooner! We’d been […]
The Muppets – Bohemian Rhapsody
One of the Youtube commenters says it best….the Muppets are indeed, timeless. God bless Animal. He rules. Still.
