Announcements and reviews about new music
Jack Spann is a multitalented singer and songwriter. His first solo release comes out on April 19, 2016. It is about time that the world hears his stuff and perhaps that was the genesis of the CD title: Time, Time, Time, Time, Time. Our friend and Milwaukee music scene pipeline Gary Tanin at Daystorm […]
How Nickelback Prepared The World For Postmodern Jukebox By Scott Bradlee Sometimes, inspiration comes from unlikely sources. This was one thought that ran through my head on Thanksgiving Day in 2011, as I found my name in online news outlets everywhere for the first time. It was the first time a video from what would […]
It seems that it has been almost a year since we last checked in with Puddles Pity Party. It seems that he will be touring to some selected cities in the US soon. He has recently been to Australia and by the looks of it, he is trying to ride his ‘party’ to the presidency […]

I started on the topic of keyboard players a while back and began making a mental note of the ones who stood out in my mind. Never try and make a mental list that encompasses nearly 50 years of concert and album memories. I am probably going to have to get one of those ‘on-board […]
Our Australian Hammond B-3 playing buddy has been busy – besides a busy touring schedule in the land down under, Lachey took his first LDG tour to Europe this fall. Some great cuts from his album from the spring of 2015 (Conviction) and a dynamite arrangement of Jealous Guy. This was the last night of the […]
Innovation and creativity – going back to both videos released for This too shall pass (the Rube Goldberg versiona and the marching band version), Ok GO! has continued to find new ways to meld their catch pop tunes with stunning video creations.
