I was super psyched when Farm came out in 2009. This is the classic line up featuring J. Mascis, Lou Barlow and Murph. Mascis still croons like a thunderous Cherokee chief, while Barlow and Murph provide song after song of unadulterated rhythmic bliss. “Ocean in the Way” — the third track ...

I first came in contact with the unique hardcore sensibilities of Hot Water Music back in the mid ’90s. A friend of mine made me a mix tape, and I was instantly pulled into the anthemic blasts of HWM, and front man Chuck Ragan’s signature rasp.  From that time on I was hooked. Funny story, any...

This song came on the other night while we were deep into the third round of a freeze out tournament. I love playing poker, and I love it even more when I’m listening to good music and catching cards. “The Low Spark…” is over 10 minutes in duration song. A lot can happen during that time in ...

Everyone needs a mix for the summer. Something new. Something to listen to on the way to Northern Michigan for a weekend on a secluded lake.

Once in a rare moon I get together with some good friends for what we refer to as “Man Night”. Translation: a night without girlfriends or wives. It also means a chance to play DJ — two turn tables and a mixing board. Showtime. Picking out the records is always fun — yet stressful. That’s...
