Read moreLydia Loveless gives us the not-so- typical coffee shop show
A common question comes up for music lovers; Where would your dream concert be? Most say huge venues like Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall or Red Rocks. What they should say instead is a coffee shop, specifically Milwaukee’s Prospect Ave. Colectivo Coffee. This place is something everyone should take on at some point in their life, because seeing
Read moreREVIEW: Elle King at Summerfest
Frankly, Elle King’s set at the Harley-Davidson Roadhouse on Friday night was a bit of a wild card going into the night. On paper, King has two successful radio singles; the recently released “America’s Sweetheart”, and the singalong-worthy hit “Ex’s and Oh’s”. What she delivered, however, was the performance of a star way beyond an artist with only two

Angel Olsen performed in Milwaukee for the first time on Thursday, June 16 at the Pabst Theater. She’s one of those artists I had been dying to see live for quite some time, mainly due to her other-worldly set of lungs. Occasionally, I hear a voice so spectacular that I want to witness it live on a stage, for a

This week is another unique week for the mixtape, with the first appearance of any country music via Keith Urban. I attribute that to trip to Racine earlier in the week. There’s also plenty of trap beats that make their way into the mix. And if it’s worth anything, I listened to a ton of Purity Ring this week, so

I always have a weird obsession with lost or hidden recordings, and this one is a fun one for sure. While we all have probably heard Jim Croce’s version of this song, Jerry Lee Lewis covered the song at some point in the late 70s. In what sounds like it definitely would end up as a throwaway record, it’s now

The words “Johnny Cash”, “remix”, and “Elvis Costello” don’t usually go together, but in the case of this track, it somehow works. “She Used To Love Me A Lot” is a track from a lost Cash album, “Out Amongst The Stars” which will be released March 25th. In addition to the collection of lost recordings, Elvis Costello lent his own

Here’s a track with a back story, if there ever was one. Around 1985, Columbia Records wanted to bring Johnny Cash back into the limelight. He worked on an album called “Out Among The Stars”, but ended up leaving Columbia Records before it was completed. The label ultimately had to shelf the entire project, and it was left in the
