The Ledge #733: New Releases Pt. 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's my birthday show!!! Yes, September 11 is a terrible day to celebrate a birthday, but one can't help when they were born. But what better way to kick off a birthday show with a brand new cover of "Teenage Kicks". Oh, yes, I was so excited when Malibu Lou sent me the file straight off the Rum Bar presses. I'll never tire of this song, especially when artists such as Christina Jean & Her All Stars create such a wonderfully uplifting version! Of course, that's not the only Rum Bar Records treat
The Ledge #732: New Releases Pt. 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We are now in the greatest month of the year (September), and once again we have two straight weeks of nothing but new music. This week is the "friends of the show" episode, and well over half the show consists of music submitted by the artists themselves (or their representatives). There's the monthly new track by Numb Surprise, another split single from Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin, the triumphant return of Lorne Behrman, football-related punk from Vista Blue, and two tunes by my new favorite
The Ledge #731: 1996 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1996 was a great year for me. I had a comfortable day job, I still worked a couple of nights a week at the record stores, and I was the music editor for a local newspaper. This was quite possibly the peak year for live music in my city. Local bands were selling out clubs and releasing great albums, and more national acts were hitting town than ever before. Besides the local upswing, it was a great year for new music. Americana was on the rise, with lauded albums by the likes of Wilco, Golden Smo
The Ledge #730: Even More New Releases & Other Treats! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I ended last week's new release episode with a good dozen or so songs I did not find time to air. How could I handle that? That's not enough new tunes for a third show of new tunes? Should I just keep them in storage for the September series? But then I remembered that today (8/21/26) was a momentous day for rock and roll. It's the day that Gravest Graves by The Cramps was coming out. For those living under a rock, here's the short story. After Lux Interior died in 2009, his partner Poison Ivy b
The Ledge #729: New Releases Pt. 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I may call the artists in my first part of the monthly new release series "friends of the show" but this month's second part heavily features two of my longest serving buddies of my years broadcasting The Ledge. First off, I have the privilege of debuting around half of the brand new album by Jeremy Porter and The Tucos, Sell Their Souls. Set to come out next week (August 21), this may be Porter's masterpiece, and he was gracious enough to record commentary tracks for the tracks I picked to play
