Beatin’ the Odds interview. I love southern rock. It’s a family thing, growing up getting rocked in my stroller while my dad drank beer and listened to the Allman Brothers coming out of a bar jukebox. C’mon, it was the seventies. Anyhoo, something about southern rock hits me in the heart and makes me want […]
Fuzz Kebabjian interview. When you cover the music scene in the Capital Region, you are the music scene; you become a part of it. You are the megaphone. Your lyrics are the words of every rock hopeful and metal veteran that they couldn’t squeeze into their songs. You bring a dimension to the sick shredding […]
Ralph Renna interview. True friendship isn’t a paved road. I think it’s a road that you pave with shared experiences, and the curves and dips and bumps are hard wrought, but give it its character. In any area, in any scene, you find people who have carved out roads well-traveled. Ralph Renna has built roads, […]
FLAPJAX. There’s an electricity that shoots through the air of a creative passion project, no matter the particular outlet, but in independent film, especially low budget film, that electricity is palpable, and of course, flowing through the camera and sparking lines. Rocko Zevenbergen of Bad Taste Video is shooting just such a lightning storm in […]

Rainbow Prom at Universal Preservation Hall. I’m a huge fan of the programing at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga. And I’m an ally of LGBTQ+ friends and family. When I saw the announcement about a Rainbow Prom scheduled for this fall, I was immediately in love with the idea. People who couldn’t celebrate prom at […]
SAG-AFTRA Strike. As almost everybody knows the writers and actors of Hollywood have gone on strike. We’ve seen the memes of greedy streaming corporations, and we’ve seen the picket lines, and most people reading this have an idea of what it’s about. People are passionate about unions, one way or the other. We don’t do […]
I’ve been seeing Kristian Montgomery posting a new song almost every week on the social media sites, and they are all pretty darn good. Hardship and survival, life and love, the visceral emotions of these experiences are heard through songs inspired by storytelling. I figured it would be good to learn more about what is […]
The love of music is universal. The joy of happening upon a killer bass riff is the joy of a flawless execution of a passage by DeBussey. They both make you feel, they both give you a rush. But this is on the musicians’ end. The music lover, the music listener, may simply be moved […]
Let’s talk egos. In promoting yourself as an artist, you have to have an ego, even if you don’t have one. You have to promote yourself as a good time. But take this to an extreme, and you’re arrogant. But if you start with the premise that you suck, you can take that three miles […]
