By Pete Bruce Springsteen, one of my heroes in this life, turns 60 years old today.  Not sure where the time goes, all I know is it goes a tad too fast for my liking. This is a simple & short post to send a hearty Happy Birthday out to the Boss. “Brilliant Disguise” is probably my favorite [...]

By Pete The Gaslight Anthem - September 15th – Martini Ranch, Scottsdale | I’m not crazy about the venue – right in the heart of Old Town Snottsdale – but for Brian Fallon and the boys of Gaslight Anthem, I will endure the surrounding douchery. They’re fresh off a summer festival season highlighted...

By Pete There are two Bruces in the music world I am very fond of. One is Springsteen, the other is Cockburn. This weekend, the perfect storm of shows came to pass: the Weekend of Bruce.  Friday night was the Boss. And on Saturday, the wife and I took off for Flagstaff on an anxiously awaited 24 hour getawa...

By The World Forgot On this night the cover was three dollars, the beers were a dollar and a half each, and the music was more than worth the long trek back and forth on the frozen evening. Deer Tick lived up to their billing as they played through a set of a southern infused rock with a cover of Bruce Springsteen, an...

By Pete Some of you may know of my appreciation for John’s 1991 album The Missing Years, a collection of warm & witty tunes featuring the likes of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and Bonnie Raitt. The follow-up album four years later came in the form of Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings. While not as...

By Pete Bruce originally recorded “This Hard Land” in 1982 during the sessions for Born in the U.S.A, but it would never see the light of day on any Springsteen studio release. However, in 1995, when Columbia was packaging Bruce’s first greatest hits release, the E Street Band returned to the studio...

By Pete Visit Gaslight Anthem’s Official Site. I got a note in late September alerting me to a band from New Jersey called The Gaslight Anthem. In the note was mention of Springsteen and the Clash. So naturally, I went to eMusic and downloaded ‘The ‘59 Sound’ right away. I have to be honest, I struggled w...

By It's Hard to Find A Friend Our favorite Chicago singer, songwriter, beat-maker, and general teddy bear, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone , has announced himself a new collection of songs for us to purchase on compact disc. The album will be available on March 10th, (my birthday! Send Amazon gift cards.) and is a co...

By Pop Tarts Suck Toasted I read a line on some blog (my apologies I don't recall which one at the moment) that stated something to the fact that Bruce Springsteen is the over-30 equivalent of Animal Collective. Basically they were trying to say that Bruce is everywhere these days, from rocking for Barack to headlin...

By Lucas Jensen I'm on some kind of Springsteen kick today, so I figured I'd keep the train rolling and talk about Jason Anderson. In a world where The Hold Steady are pretty huge and The Gaslight Anthem are up-and-comers, it seems unfair to me that the former Wolf Colonel/Mount Eerie/Yume Bitsu member is o...

By herohill You see, back then not every punk band was adding Billy Bragg influenced, Springsteen/Mellencamp fused acoustic tracks to their discs so the stripped down, working class America vibe the song gave off fueled many drunken sing alongs in our old house. At the time, I doubt I would have said I...

The four tracks are live cuts from the 2008 dates of the Band’s tour behind Magic, and three of them are loaded with guest stars: Alejandro Escovedo on a cov...

By SoulBoogieAlex Over the years John Fogerty's seem to have resurfaced every time Springsteen wanted to assert himself politically. He played "Bad Moon Rising" on 18 Jun 1988 at Chateau De Vincennes, Paris, France, at the SOS Racism Concert that was broad casted on French TV, but more significantly, when...

By Pete I came across this 1973 radio broadcast of Mr. Springsteen live in the WBCN Boston studios. Brucebase has the details… Bruce’s first-ever radio station performance and still the earliest circulating “live” material with the E Street Band. The silky-voiced female DJ is the legendary Maxa...

By Brian Raftery The best part of the story is a mention that Springsteen and Robert De Niro have been hanging out together, the very possibility of which must be every hacky impressionist comedian's wet dream.
