King George Interview

Broken Hearted Whispers is perhaps your best-known single. What does it contribute to your story as an artist and a performer?  Broken Hearted Whispers is a song written at a time when there were a few people around me going through tough times with relationships (divorce/break ups etc) pretty much at the same time. The song reflects my interpretation of some of these relationships and eventually pushes for the positives. It also…

The Tiger Club Mephisto Island CD Review

The Tiger Club starts their latest album, Mephisto Island, with a sound that ties together Gilberto and Getz’ version of Girl From Ipanema with a little hint of the Squirrel Nut Zippers. The unity of lounge, psychedelic, and first-wave ska makes for an innovative and unique style to issue forth during the initial registers of Mephisto Island that will have listeners on the edges of their seats.

Housecore Horror Film Festival

Friday morning started with a bang as I stumbled into the front patio of the Housecore Horror Film Festival where I was suddenly face to face with the men that haunted my childhood imagination, Gunnar Hansen and Bill Johnson; The Leatherfaces from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 and 2, respectively. I kind of just creepily starred at them to make sure I wasn’t dreaming before going to browse merchandise booths for…

ThaGataNegrra Interview

Like I Do is perhaps your best-known single. What does it contribute to your story as an artist and a performer? I think “Like I Do” is a fun type of song. It helped showcase a part of my personality that was a bit cheeky, a bit confident…it’s definitely an epically fun one to perform. It sets the tone for the audience to expect to hear something a little different…

Bob Dylan and The Band – The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11

Aside from (maybe) The Dead, no other artists’ fans have been more rabid about collecting every scrap of recorded music put out by that musician than Bob Dylan’s acolytes. Ever since his label started releasing their Bootleg Series in 1991 – mainly comprised of outtakes, demos and live recordings, many that had never been heard outside of Dylan’s circle – fans have been speculating about the existence of more songs…

The 11th Floor Band Sweet Mystery CD Review

I Will Take You There is a high-energy piece of rock that blends together Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty, and Warren Zevon. The band is able to create a cohesive sound that sets the stage for the rest of the tracks on their latest album, Sweet Mystery. Right Amount of Drunk is a country-infused track that keeps the same high momentum of the previous cuts on Sweet Mystery, while the act…

Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger

Those familiar with the James “Whitey” Bulger story have been saying for decades how the tale of the ruthless Boston gangster and his look-the-other-way FBI handler is the stuff of Hollywood movies. The attractive, yet wildly violent Bulger grew up in South Boston and quickly rose up the ranks of the Irish mob, while another neighborhood kid who grew up down the street from the mobster, John Connolly, became an…
