Growing up a fat kid in Yonkers, NY (that’d be the title of my autobiography by the way), my number one way to escape the middle school jerks and the growing waistline was going to the movies. I would see two each weekend (it didn’t matter which ones – usually one good, one painfully awful), […]

GOING, GOING, AND GONE GIRL – CELEBRATING THE ONES THE OSCARS FORGOT

Jon Chattman January 15, 2015

To quote an Oscar-nominated original song “Everything is Awesome” today. The Oscar nominations were announced and so many well-deserved performances and films were honored by that gold guy who bares a striking resemblance to a thinner and taller Ed Asner. That said, as is the case each year, many, many people and movies were […]

Note to self: when interviewing World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestlers about how they spend their time during road trips don’t refer to it as “down time.” Why? Because WWE wrestlers have little to no downtime – working almost everyday all year round, they’re the true road warriors in the entertainment industry. That said, I was […]

The 68th Annual Tony Awards provided many memorable moments from Hugh Jackman hopping his way through an opening number to Lena Hall uttering a joyous “friendship is magic” line with her first Tony in hand to Audra MacDonald’s emotional speech for her record-breaking sixth award. Those examples barely scratch the surface of highlights, but this […]

Steve Winwood’s 1986 song “Higher Love” was a smash hit, played over and over again the year the New York Mets won the World Series for their second (and, it feels like, final) time. Whereas the song struck gold, the music video was a disaster of epic proportions thanks to the former Traffic band […]

5 For Fighting with… Five for Fighting (September Octo-Mom Edition)

Note: this is not Five for Fighting We at A-Sides are fortunate to have a monthly column with John Ondrasik AKA Five for Fighting. The man sings and writes poignant songs that can lift you up as high as a hot air balloon with Bobcat Gothwait on it. That, by the way, is a random […]

Photo and videos by shootmepeter.com Legs. ZZ Top sang about them. Models get big pay days for them. Obviously, this is a silly way to start off an article, but here we are. It’s a poor segue to using the word in terms of longevity. Only a handful of artists – when you really think […]

A-Sides with Jon Chattman: The Melvins Cover the ‘Basses’; Kato and the Ellis Alice’s Aery Debut

Photo by shootmepeter.com Ask most alt-rock/punk bands from the 1990s or anytime really, and they’ll likely tell you how much The Melvins inspired them. Notably, it’s been well documented how much Kurt Cobain valued their work and friendship. There’s reason for it. These prolific trailblazers have put their stamp on their industry, and much like […]

Kevin Devine’s Latest ‘History’ Lesson

If you’ve been following the prolific career of Kevin Devine or as I call him the patron saint of indie rock-driven storytelling, you’ll know he likes it a bit heavy and light. In other words, he’s just as comfortable ramping up his music as he is stripping it down. Whether backed by a band or […]

A-Sides Event: Kevin Devine, Charly Bliss, and American Pinup to Heat Up Westchester

The Westchester County, NY music scene is a weird one. There are many bands doing their things, and several killer venues – such as The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester – but for the most part, audiences seem to only come out for established big name acts and cover bands. Let’s debunk that shall we? […]
