If you were alive and around in the Albany environs in the turn of the eighties, you might have gone to a sonic bunker of a place called J.B. Scott’s. Owned by Douglas Jacobs and Vinnie Birbiglia, this nightclub had a list of bands go through that would, at the same time be chewing through […]
(Interview with Melissa Ferrick.) RRX: Hello. How has your morning been? MF: So far so good. RRX: I’m excited just to talk with you. I don’t really like to do “interviews,” I think they’re boring so my style is just to chat. Everybody else does that, they just plug away all of the questions and […]

RRX: MIke Skill is one of the founders of The Romantics and has a brand new record coming out called “Skill……Mike Skill” Mike: That’s right. I felt it was time to actually get my name out there and display what I’ve got. A lot of people call me “Skill” anyway. RRX: And everybody calls me […]
