I don’t know what Alice in Chains was referring to when they talked about something sticking to your mouth like peanut butter on the brain, but it’s another way for me to describe the feeling of a song getting stuck in my head.
There are many reasons and ways to slag off Paul McCartney, but damn [...]

I nominated The Gutter Twins’ “All Misery/Flowers” as a potential song of the year candidate when I got their album earlier this month and I’m ready to add another nominee. The almost title track from The Raconteurs second record (the song is singular, the album plural) is everything you could want from a song [...]

Yeah, I know… way to give it all away in the headline. Way to keep them wanting more. Way to lure them in with a cryptic headline and pique their curiosity. I hate writing headlines. Fuckin’ sue me, then.
I’d given up on Counting Crows years ago. I was slow to [...]

This is it, boys and girls. Mark it down. Study it, learn it, love it, bow before it and weep. This is the set list of the tour so far. Wow! This is just an amazing set. That shift from “Adamn Raised a Cain” to “Gypsy Biker” might have [...]

Raise your hand if you saw that one coming! “Glory Days” is not often performed despite its hit status in the ’80s and hadn’t been played on this tour… until Cincinnati.
According to the report at Backstreets, the Cincy show was a little bit suckass. Majority opinion according to them is that Bruce raced [...]

The first guest appearance by any writer on Confessions of a Fanboy happened when Dawn Olsen and I collaborated on a Thanksgiving list of songs we’re thankful for. Dawn described COAF so well when she cross-posted her list. She described this as a site not just about music but as a site about [...]

Wow! We all hoped and prayed for a night like this sooner rather than later and it’s happened. “Phantom” Dan Federici, organist and founding member of the E-Street Band, made his return to the stage Thursday night in Indianapolis, IN. Federici was forced to take time away from the tour after being [...]

Man, I have no idea how this kick got started but I’ve spent the afternoon revisiting my Tears for Fears discography. I never would have thought to bring these CDs with me today so once again my iPod pays for itself and rescues my day.
Little known fact: people forget how much I came [...]

Damnation! Bruce is taking requests one night on his Magical Mystery Tour and it’s not Atlanta (it’s April 5 in San Jose).
Damnation! The requests are limited to a list of songs and “Across The Border” isn’t one of them! The message is not getting back to Camp Springsteen. This is unacceptable.

Holy Shamrock shakes, Batman (by the way, that might be the worst thing McDonalds ever invented!)!. What a set list, boys and girls, what a set list. Last night’s show was filled with all manner of rarely played gems, including “It’s Hard to Be a Saint in the City,” “Cadillac Ranch,” “Loose Ends,” [...]
