    40 Years of Talk Talk’s The Colour of Spring - KOOP Radio 91.7 FM (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In the mid 90’s, I got my first turntable–a basic Radio Shack model–which lasted me a good 25 years before it finally gave out. With that new piece of equipment in my room, I started my collection of records by hitting up the local Half Price Books. Along with classics by Elvis Costello and Pink Floyd, I found a promo copy of Talk Talk’s third album, The Colour of Spring (EMI America, 1986). Though I listen more to the band’s later albums these days, this album is probably my favorite overall: i

    “Are you ready?” Solar asked the arena full of enthusiastic Moomoos (the term of endearment for K-pop group MAMAMOO’s fans) who cheered enthusiastically in response. “All right, let’s go!” she continued, and the lights went dark as the first notes of the next song began to play.

    On August 9th, Course of Empire drummer Chad Lovell’s friends, family and former bandmates organized a celebration of life for what would have been his 60th birthday at legendary venue Trees Dallas. Trees Dallas is in the historic Deep Ellum neighborhood where CoE had their final show in July 1998. Lovell passed away on July 21, 2026, just a day after the vinyl reissue of the band’s final album, which I wrote about last month. Trees Dallas was packed to the gills with people celebrating Lovell;

    Welcome Home: The 54th Kerrville Folk Festival - KOOP Radio 91.7 FM (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On a Saturday morning in late May, I woke up, cut my overall pants into overall shorts and hit the road. After a two-hour drive on a winding country highway with a sky as blue as the rolling hills below were green, volunteers greeted me with a warm “Welcome Home” when I pulled into Quiet Valley Ranch for the 54th annual Kerrville Folk Festival. Founded in 1972 by Rod Kennedy, the 18-day festival is as much a pillar for the town of Kerrville as it is for the folk music community. Every year, the
