About a week or two ago I felt like going for a ride around town in my Mini Cooper, but didn’t know where to go – at the suggestion of a friend of mine (and since I hadn’t been there before), I went out to Fells Point in Baltimore, about a 30 minute drive from [...]

Lately I’ve been listening to my Drain S.T.H. CD, Freaks of Nature, a lot. It’s been a while, so I’m reminded of just how good they are. Drain S.T.H. is a band from Stockholm, Sweden that formed in 1993. Their music is mostly a fusion of grunge and heavy metal, but it separates itself from [...]

If you haven’t heard, Meaghan and I have been interviewed about Radio KRUD over at The Tofu Hut! Welcome to new KRUD listeners as well! It was lots of fun participating, so much thanks to John as well as the betterPropaganda crew (where the interview will be showing up eventually as well). Hope you enjoy [...]

As promised:
I got these little gems from my friend Petie. They came after a week of me and my sister in law singing as much Super Mario Brothers ditties as we could remember. The music is just oddly good, a fact other game developers tend to forget when doing other scores and forcing me [...]

I’ve spent entirely too much time in my life dismissing country. Then dismissing everything but Patsy Cline. Then excepting folk rock that sounded country. Then southern rock that only sounds country to a certain Canadian who likes 80’s prog rock. But then I spent an entire week ‘accidently’ listening to country and changed my bias [...]

I probably could have combined this into the previous post, but the bits for this post deserve a mention by themselves…

Recently I was contacted by Steve Moramarco about his band The Abe Lincoln Story, wondering if we would please do a piece about them – I took a listen to their tracks they had online for download, liked what I heard, bought their cd Dance Party via the iTunes Music Store, gave that a [...]

One of the things I miss most about the south is that there used to be all these bands there that I knew I could go see and have a good time no matter what. Such a good time, in fact, I’d drive to other states to see them and drag along a car full [...]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, I realized somethign and just had to share… Two songs, and they each have two things in common: both are track #6 on their respective albums, and both are composed by Jim Steinman. I strongly urge you to listen to them with the volume cranked [...]

Welcome back to Dave, he’s going to be providing another viewpoint into different music types here on Radio KRUD along with myself and Megs. Tonight, playing yin to Dave’s yang, I’m offsetting his death belching metal post with one that’s on the complete other side of the spectrum. There’s nothing further away from what he [...]
