In The Blues Brothers in the diner when Dan Akroyd orders dry white toast, it was because he had a colonoscopy scheduled for the next day.

If I was going to open a recording studio, I would name it The Stu-Stu-Studio and we would be the kings of gated reverb.

I explain why @dominiclavoie.bsky.social is a perfect client. Good advice: "Let’s talk to a graphic designer before you name your band Edgar Throckmorton’s Exploding Cocktail Factory and Electric Magazine Emporium. But if you do, please put me on the guest list." www.mainebiz.biz/article/on-t...

Records often go missing in a move. Somehow I managed to lose everything after Joe Meek through Yoko Ono when I moved them within my own house. Literally from one room to another.

Add Human Moods to your #RSD2025 list. I'm loving this female-fronted mature alt rock band. I think it will be exclusive to @bullmoosestores.bsky.social. It's like it was made for Gen Xers who still want to rock. Great lyrics and vocals and it sounds great!

Hats off to the 1000 UK artists who released an album consisting of the sound of empty recording studios and venues. They are protesting a proposed UK law that would allow AI companies to train their models on copywrited music without a license. www.isthiswhatwewant.com

Music has been making me cry more often recently. Is this happening to anybody else? What songs are affecting you? Most of the songs that got me are by artists I rarely/never listen to. I make videos about music and this is today's topic. youtu.be/06Gt6eqzYas?...

In 20 years of reviewing music for NEWS CENTER Maine I had never covered a digital-only release. That changed last night when I reviewed Amy Allen's album. She's worth it. Also in there are Whitney Houston and Talking Heads. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Sometimes local bands will give me a CD or merch. Here's a new perk. One artist asked me to appear on their next LP, scheduled for this fall. Details will follow when the label is ready. Now I can only say that if you think you know what I might produce in 2024, this isn't it.
