Rewind: Bran Van 3000 – ‘Drinking in L.A.’
In 1997, a band was breaking in Montreal that would reach massive heights in not only their home country, but Europe as well. Bran Van 3000 is a music collective with past and present members eclipsing the 20 mark. And while their records went gold in other parts of the world, the group never really [...]
Rewind: Gorillaz – Demon Days
Before you get ahead of yourself, we’re not looking at the Demon Days record in this week’s Rewind. No, the album in full has been well-documented and well-celebrated. However, the singles that made the waves, while great and certainly commercially very successful, were not necessarily the highlight of the record. The 3-track run that finished off Demon [...]
Rewind: The Band – Don’t Do It – Rock of Ages
We’re changing up the format of Sunday Rewind a bit, now going even deeper by going one song at a time. So what track would we want to showcase for the debut of the format? The answer came pretty quickly when by chance, or fate, what could be the perfect rock track popped up on the shuffle. [...]

Best of 2012: Label of the Year – Bright Antenna
We continue our ‘Best of 2012′ with a nod to the labels that caught our attention this year. It seems that as the ability to self-produce music continues to proliferate, there are more and more labels popping up to manage this influx in talent. Many are mixed on what this means for the industry. We [...]
Best of 2012: Mick’s Picks – The Shows
We’re keeping this train rolling, ringing in 2013 with a week long toast to 2012. Today we’re looking back at the best shows of 2012 that we caught. And while I tend to be susceptible to getting my mind blown at pretty much any live music event, this year took things to a new level. [...]
Best of 2012: Mick’s Picks – The EPs
Picking up where we left off, we continue the ‘Best of 2012′ week with the Top 5 EPs of the year. There was a ton to sort through, especially given the trend of EP releases continuing to increase seemingly exponentially. Once a format that seemed to be owned by the punk rock labels, EPs have [...]

This year I decided to go a little deeper. All week, I’ll be bringing you the best tracks I heard, the best records front to back, and the best shows that these eyes and ears feasted upon. Keep it tuned in all week as this is the spot to get your fill of unbiased and [...]
Best of 2012: Mylo’s Song & Album Picks
What a year – 2012 had some great new acts surface. I had much of the same routine this year trying to find new bands…Tuesday new releases on iTunes, Channel 35 and 36 on SiriusXM and of course waiting for bands to drop full length efforts after teasing us with their EPs. I may have [...]
Sunday (Video) Rewind: Peter Gabriel – Sledgehammer
It was April 1986 when Peter Gabriel released his seminal video for ‘Sledgehammer’ off of his smash record So that topped the charts in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. With the industry still very much in the exploratory phase of the music video as a medium, Gabriel unsurprisingly saw the medium as a fantastic [...]
