Bar Scott is a singer, songwriter, and writer who has recorded seven albums of original songs, and has published one book. Scott engineers, records, and edits most of her vocals and piano in her home studio, but leans on Dave Cook for the heavy studio lifting. Some of her favorite gigs have been in living […]
Alligator Records recently announced their 45th Annivesary Compilation will be released on June 10, 2016. Alligator has been one of our consistant new music pipelines and it seems appropriate to share a little of their history with our listeners. I have read this info in various forms before, but it just hit me that label […]
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 […]
His real name is Brad. Brad Carlson. His father owned a roofing business in Rockford, Illinois and by all accounts, he probably should have ended up working in the family business.

I stood in front of the class and made eye contact with the English teacher. I had a fully strung compound hunting bow in my left hand. The bow was fully equipped with string silencers and a mounted quiver with four broadhead arrows, each sporting razor blade inserts at the ready . I had my […]
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 […]
More new music news coming your way – Gary Tanin at Daystorm sent us a copy of Jack Spann’s new CD Time Time Time Time Time – and we can’t wait to share it with you. Gary’s good friend Tony Visconti (David Bowie) recommended he work with Spann and the results are impressive. Visconti and […]
There are some bands that I have avoided over the years, Rammstein being one of them. I only heard a track or two from them in the past and had written them off as a ‘too’ band: too industrial sounding, too repetitious, too German, and just plain too foreign for me to like. More recently, […]
