Twisted Branches… one in a very occasional series of short musings on weird band connections and “DNA”… It still kind of blows my mind that Foreigner was started by a founder of King Crimson. Did you know that? There’s shared “DNA” between “I Want to Know What Love Is” and “The Court of The Crimson King”…

My nomination for the Best Album of the first half of 2018 – The Moondoggies – A Love Sleeps Deep. I’d like to thank God, Serendipity, the Powers of the Universe, our Benevolent Overlords, Lords of Karma or whoever pretends to be running the cosmos for pulling The Moondoggies out of my lifelong dreams of…

A special Music Extra! Just heard on WBKM.org… Mike Luoma welcomes musicians Matt Hutton and Sean Toohey into his living room for a conversation about their 25 years of making music together in Spray 9, Envy and The Red Telephone. It’s in honor of a special gig Matt and Sean play at Radio Bean in…

I know it’s the right Song of the Day for the Spotlight when, after deciding on it, the song won’t get out of my head! King Tuff’s Psycho Star is now firmly lodged in my mental jukebox. Vermonter Kyle Thomas makes music under the name King Tuff. He released his new album The Other on…

The Moondoggies new album A Love Sleeps Deep came out last Friday (4/13/18). It’s brilliant! Mesmerizing and perfect in so many ways… have to review the whole album soon. They are their own thing, have their own sound, yet follow in the footsteps of pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd and the psychedelic Bay Area bands of…

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. Seems like it’s been longer, but that’s because the first single “Never Going Back” came our way back in February. They’re a band I’d been looking out for, so I…

Posted the first of these earlier tonight. Not sure how often I’ll do ’em, but given I’m just starting, thought another one right off might not be so bad. Already know for sure who my first four of these are about, anyway. Lead the series with Jon Anderson and Roine Stolt. Now, let me introduce…
