Saturday Spins: Tom Petty Extravaganza
We all have those “someone is wrong on the internet, and I must destroy them” moments. Some more than others. Recently, myself and a few authors and friends of this website discussed the genius...

Saturday Spins: The Traveling Wilburys
For the uninitiated, the Traveling Wilburys were formed in 1988 by George Harrison (The Beatles), Jeff Lynne (ELO) Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Tom Petty.
Saturday Spins: Gram Parsons
This week my toddler shook my phone and out popped the father of “Cosmic American Music,” or as the folks over at No Depression call it, “Alt-Country.”
Record Store Day 2020, Sort of
Even though Record Store Day has been delayed this year, I am hoping that will be even the slightest distraction from the anxiety of these weird times.
Saturday Spins: Desaparecidos
What happened when the saddest man in Omaha decided to “make a rock record with the disappeared?” Magic.
Tiger King: America’s Newest Obsession
Never before have I watched a documentary where several of the interview subjects say things that are potentially incriminating. It is like a prosecutor’s wet dream.
Saturday Spins: Wholewheat
Last week, the randomizer demanded that we cover Tweedy, a band created by Wilco front man, Jeff Tweedy with his son, Spencer. Not our first Wilco-themed rodeo either. This week, we cover a lo-fi...
Remote Barista: Cafe Con Leche
Now that everyone that can is (presumably) following the rules and staying at home, you may need a new way to enjoy some java.
Saturday Spins: Tweedy
After raging against the currently non-functioning machine last week, we forge ever onward with more music this week on Saturday Spins. Apparently the Discogs randomizer is a cruel mistress, and really wants me to...
Wanderers: On Reading a Book About a Pandemic During A Pandemic

Saturday Spins: Evil Empire
I left it to my three year old…using her Unicorn pointer, she selected an album that features an early photo of former Presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg.
Saturday Spins: Steve Miller Band
There is still a tinge of psychedelia in many of these songs, but the full on white boy blues sound is definitely dominant.
Saturday Spins: Wilco Schmilco
Folks, not sure how I can carry on after covering the perfect album last week, but I am a slave to the Discogs randomizer. This week, I’ll be covering another release from dad-rock titans,...
Ryan Adams, Fandom, and Tolerating Bad Behavior
The problem with fandom is that we often expect more than we should out of the people we are fans of. Where does one draw the line with their support?
Saturday Spins Returns: Yeehaw
This week’s spin features a mysterious man in a frayed lone ranger mask. However, for the sake of his art, I will only refer to him as Orville Peck.
Non-Traditional Christmas Songs for Consideration
Before you break out the Bing Crosby or dust off the Michael Bublé; hell, before you even play one bar of José Feliciano or Mariah Carey…
Saturday Spins: Dire Straits
I don’t think I have ever encountered a person that does not like Dire Straits, and Mark Knopfler and Co. pretty much saved rock n roll during the 80s from glam, hair bands, and synthy pop music.
Thanksgiving Spin: Arlo Guthrie
Have you ever flipped on the radio during Thanksgiving, only to find that your local station is playing an 18-minute song about a restaurant, twenty-seven 8 x 10 colored glossy photographs, and a “Massacree?”
