Last summer, our pal Laura Shunk wrote about this little moving picture on the Cafe Society blog. She dug it. Found it “quirky, emotionally engaging” and, well, “pretty cool.” Not really sure what…

Here’s something odd: After all of these years of being Van Halen fans, this is the first time we can remember hearing Eddie Van Halen’s voice. It sounds quite a bit different from how we imagined. Same goes for his brother, Alex Van Halen, for that matter. Guess the pair…
Massive props are due this morning to Don Strasburg of AEG Live Rocky Mountain, who was named Talent Buyer of the Year at the annual Pollstar awards this past Friday in Los Angeles at Club Nokia. The recognition is clearly a tremendous nod to the efforts of Strasburg and the…
Ah, yes, Magic Cyclops: To know him is to love him. The Quad City Madman (not really, you swag-jacking morning-show mooks in Davenport — he’s all ours) has successfully turned a fleeting American Idol cameo into a catapult to fame and fortune. Er, maybe just fame. The fortune part is…

RYAN ADAMS @ TEMPLE BUELL THEATRE | 2/4/12 It’s probably safe to assume that the inquiring mind — the one who just asked Ryan Adams if the red, white and blue guitars he’s been playing all night bear any reference to Buck Owens (they do) — will not be one…
