Tuesday afternoon, I happened to check the ATV email account and found an email that sent my personal geek-out meter soaring sky high, and if I lived in a Looney Tunes cartoon world, I’m pretty sure that the meter would have snapped right off. I had an interview request from a media outlet that you […]

Hey man, is that AC/DC? Yeah man. Well turn-it-up man!
Oh my God, it’s like we opened up the souls of a thousand rock and rolls….. If the Freedom Rock guys from the 80’s were around today in 2009 promoting the new AC/DC rarities box set Backtracks, I’m thinking it would look something like this video featuring Billy and George of AC/DC FanNation. Hilarious.

Cage Match: Cheap Trick vs. Belinda Carlisle
Well, what did we learn during last week’s battle royale? We learned that a whole lotta people LOVE “Hungry Like The Wolf” by Duran Duran, and not nearly as many are affectionate towards Def Leppard and “Rock of Ages.” I was kinda surprised. This week, we’ve got a battle pending that is sure to cause […]
Record Store Day is TOMORROW!
It’s been a fun week! Wednesday night, I went to the Rock Hall with my pals D.X. Ferris from Scene Magazine, Sirius XM personality Dusty Street, and Pale Hollow drummer Nick Perry, for an evening of Q&A with drummer Joe Vitale about his book Backstage Pass. If the goal is to leave ’em wanting more, […]

Good morning kids! Have you registered for your chance to win the Jane’s Addiction vinyl yet? Get it done! The rules of this game are simple: My co-worker Michael and I pick two songs, and we put ’em up against each other in a fight to the death, grudge match, last man standing doesn’t necessarily […]
Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails release Iphone app
Even though I don’t have an Iphone (yet?) I was happy to see the announcement of the new Nine Inch Nails Iphone application NIN: Access, which is available now as a free download. The NIN team have posted a video walk-through of the app featuring Trent Reznor with NIN art director Rob Sheridan and special […]
Everywhere I look, all I see is Metallica
I have to say that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction weekend here in Cleveland is off to a good start for me personally. Last night was an EPIC night of fun for this music fan, and I’ll fill you in on all or most of the details after the weekend is over. […]
Cage Match: Fleetwood Mac vs. Hall & Oates – What’s Your Vote?
This one requires a bit of set-up: I’m going to ask you to vote for two different songs – one by Fleetwood Mac, and one by Hall & Oates. Before we get to that, let’s cover the backstory on how we got to this point. I’ll have the occasional musical debate with my good friend […]
Moby still believes in the album
I loved reading this email from Moby tonight, sent to Bob Lefsetz. I’m that certain kind of music fan who still avoids contact with the singles so that I can hear the album for the first time as a whole album….even if it is U2 or Springsteen. And I’m also someone that often loves the […]
