As this year’s edition of Record Store Day fades into the distance, you might enjoy some reading regarding the vinyl-making process at Cleveland’s own Gotta Groove Records. I’ve read a lot of different profiles of the Gotta Groove operation but this one from the folks at Whopperjaw is my favorite, ranking at about 9 on […]

The ATV Interview: Adam Duritz of Counting Crows (part two)
Here’s part two of my conversation with Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, in which we continue to discuss the new album Underwater Sunshine, plus his habits as a music fan and his thoughts and feelings on the current state of the music industry. We wrap it all up with some discussion about the Outlaw Roadshow […]
Contest: Win David Bowie’s ‘Ziggy Stardust’ On Vinyl!
The back cover of David Bowie’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars carries a very simple message: “To be played at maximum volume.” How can one refuse such an invitation like that? Those who took Bowie up on the offer found themselves enveloped by the sounds of an album […]
Sons of Bill Take Their ‘Sirens’ To Vinyl & Plan Worldwide Trek
Since we last left our heroes Sons of Bill, they’ve been quite busy. Their new album David Lowery-produced album Sirens was officially released in March and made its debut in the Billboard Top 200 (not too shabby, guys!). They’re touring currently in support of Sirens and recently announced that they will go to Europe this […]
Stream The Entire Counting Crows ‘Underwater Sunshine’ Album
That’s right, not a song….not several songs, but the whole damn thing. If you’ve been reading along here recently, you’ll know that I’ve been pretty stoked about the new Counting Crows covers release Underwater Sunshine, which comes out April 10th. Perhaps more stoked than anyone should normally get about a covers album from any band, […]
Slash Loves Analog…And Vinyl Records Too
You can add Slash to the list of rock and roll folks who maintain a love for the black wax. When he’s not jamming with legends like B.B. King, you’ll find him enthusing about all things analog, as was the case during a recent interview with Loudwire talking about his upcoming album Apocalyptic Love, which […]
Contest: Win both volumes of Journey’s ‘Greatest Hits’ on vinyl!
Journey released Greatest Hits on November 15th, 1988. Sometime around that time, I saw it in my local record store (the sorely missed Crow’s Nest in Crest Hill, Illinois) and had to pick up a copy. Despite what my good Twitter pal @jukebox65 might want to believe, I was not a Journey diehard at that […]
Tom Petty to headline Isle of Wight in 2012
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers will be the Friday night headliner next year at Isle of Wight on June 22nd. Considering that Bruce Springsteen and some bunch of guys that call themselves the E Street Band will also be there headlining on Sunday, June 24th, a trip to Isle of Wight is looking mighty attractive […]
Stream the new Wilco album today only!
So….do you want to take your Saturday to the next level? The fine folks at Camp Wilco are streaming their new album today for 24 hours. While ‘Wilco (The Album)’ didn’t completely knock my socks off, it’s grown on me since it was released. Listening to the new album, I’m liking and actually, really enjoying […]
Journey to Steve Perry: Let’s hang out, bro.
I had to laugh when I saw this: Steve Perry is welcome back on stage with Journey any time, guitarist Neal Schon said in a recent interview. In fact, current lead singer and Perry soundalike Arnel Pineda would be “overjoyed” if Perry were to show up for one of the band’s tour stops. I was […]
