  • There is so much great new music coming out, it’s hard to keep up! I’m going to try to highlight one song each day and tell you why, shining a light on a new tune that you might want to check out. As I’m let go from my radio gig, it seems only too apropos…

  • Opening bands can be welcome surprises or simply annoying… it can be worth heading to a show a little early to catch the opener – you may discover something new worth listening to and checking out further. Love it when that happens! Mentioned in my write-up on Caveman that I’d seen them opening for Phosphorescent…

  • Another in my occasional series looking at bands and music – this time it’s Brooklyn’s Caveman and their new album Otero War, released in June.

Pop culture-wise, while much was cringe-worthy there were some real gems – take Game of Thrones, for example. I think it’s the first time a TV series got me reading a book series – and both…

  • Finally. A new album penetrates. Soulful honesty, honest artistry, songs of yearning and loss, and being lost, and trying to find – “I and Love and You”. They’ve moved to a big label, with a big-time producer at the helm, but the emotions and the production remain raw as Rick Rubin brings out the best…

  • I’ve been thinking about risk management today. Normal risk management is required for daily life. It’s a part of self preservation. But when risk management is taken to an extreme it causes a sort of psychotic paralysis in individuals. When risk management is exercised to an extreme degree on a larger scale, our culture and…
