Last week I posted the first Bruce Springsteen bootleg of the year. Today’s another first for 2010… Ryan Adams bootleg! This one dates back to 2002, just a couple of weeks before the release of his Demolition record. This is actually one of my favorite...

Ryan Adams‘ upcoming new album, ORION, has given me much to think about. This “fully-realized sci-fi metal concept album” is how he’s returning into the public eye after over a year of relative silence. My first reaction to the news was “What? That’s like Yoda...

I used to write a LOT about Ryan Adams… so much that it seemed like this site was dedicated to him. All of that stopped when A) he took a “step back” from music, and B) I took my own “step back” from this site...

Life definitely has its ups and downs. I’ve been on a down for quite a while now, and have just recently begun the swing back to the surface. In this road to recovery, I’ve been going back to albums and artists that have always made an impact on my life not only with their melodies and voices, but with their lyrics as well. It is within these artists that I have, in a way, learned how to see things differently, how to deal with things rationally, and how to realize that everyone goes through the same motions in life… everyone feels the same things, everyone cries the same tears.

The past couple of weeks have been pretty intense for me. It’s been one test after another… and to make matters worse, I haven’t been as focused as I should have been. I have no excuse for this except that I’ve hit the books pretty hard for the past year and I guess I started to ease up a bit too soon. I’ll admit that I didn’t finish quite as strongly as I wanted to, but I don’t expect my grades to take a hit because of this. I don’t know about you, but whenever I study, I listen to music. There are times when I have my iPod on “shuffle,” but for the past week or so I’ve been sticking to a simple playlist titled “Study S**t.” [...]" title="Finals Week Playlist Highlights" />

Back in January, when Ryan Adams announced that he was “taking a step back” from music, I wasn’t sure whether I believed him or not. Since then, Adams has released a love song EP called Extra Cheese that was exclusive to iTunes, and he’s become a married man to Mandy Moore.

It has been seven days since we’ve written about Ryan Adams here on TheFrontloader.com… which simply will not do. His Valentine’s Day EP, Extra Cheese, came out exclusively on iTunes yesterday. As we mentioned last week, most Adams fans will already be familiar with the songs included on the EP, as it’s a look at some of the “best love songs” in his catalog.

In honor of this release, we thought we’d share with you a great solo acoustic show Ryan did in Malmo, Sweden back in 2001. [...]
