New Tom Petty Videos

Did you happen to catch Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers this past weekend on SNL? They sounded awesome. While their new album ‘Mojo’ doesn’t hit stores until June 15th, two new music videos have surfaced for the songs “I Should Have Known It” and “Something Good Coming”. Great stuff.

Two Awesome Double-Bills Heading North

Now these are the kinds of announcements I like. One of my all-time favourite singer-songwriters, John Hiatt, has a new disc out next Tuesday entitled “The Open Road”.
