Announcements and reviews about new music
In the 2017 movie, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Elton John plays himself, at least he does a spot on parody of the ‘Chicken Suit Elton John’. I do not recall exactly if John had really worn the chicken outfit on stage in the past, but it resembled a cross between the mass of feathers he […]
COME TOGETHER as only Ringo could orchestrate it . . .
Our favorite Australian B-3 / Whammy Clavy player Lachey Doley has been putting out some great music – he also has a new album coming out we are trying to source – problem is, the shipping from down under costs more than the product – we will see what we can do. Combining my love […]
Way back when we first started posting FTV on the station web page and in the Ontonagon Herald, we ran a piece on the Australian keyboard wizard. We continue to spin the stuff we were able to get on download and even via snail mail! As with the rest of the world, Lachey has been […]

When their first record came out on January 29, 1968, the eponymously titled Steppenwolf album turned heads mostly because Born to be Wild became such a massive hit. The album as a whole was one of the greatest ‘first albums’ released in a period when bands were kicking out music that would become the […]
To my knowledge, Cheap Trick has performed in the Upper Peninsula several times during their storied career. I have managed to miss them each time. The concerts I can find records for (and there maybe more I am not aware of) were in Marquette and at the casino in Harris. The first show was at […]
Been getting some awesome music in the past weeks – the video (below) featuring Sammy Hagar and a host of others makes me feel like conflicts aside, music can and does help heal wounds and unit people. The girl’s smiles are a universal statement of hope for the future. Check out The Miraculous Love Kids: […]
