Confessions of a Fanboy

Sometimes you can see it coming, other times you can’t.

I’m going to make a bold prediction about what you’ll see in the sporadic “Let’s Talk About My iPod” columns over the next few weeks: Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam. As you might have heard, Bruce has a new album coming out […]

Few “major” bands chronicle their work as live performers as well as Pearl Jam. There are bands who do it more often and with more flair and polish, but Pearl Jam has carved out a special niche and the latest piece of that niche is the new DVD Immagine in Cornice (Picture in a […]

It was my first day with my new 160 GB iPod (just for you, Brewster) and what a great day it was. I bought my iPod a present in the form of the new Eddie Vedder “solo album.” Vedder was tapped to do the soundtrack for Sean Penn’s new movie Into The Wild. […]

I listened to 2/3 of the show yesterday, getting all the way through “Spin the Black Circle.”

A lot of good stuff from yesterday, beginning with the most recent addition to the collection, Dave Matthews’ Live at Radio City. From there I did another tour through the ’90s and followed that up with a short classic rock kick.
