I have recently completed a new bio on Iggy Pop and, quite honestly, wonder how he is still with us today. The new tome, Open Up And Bleed, is a well written and easy to follow account of James earnest beginnings. The writing was on the wall for even the young Osterberg - he was able to overcome the personal embarrassment of living with his parents in a trailer park to become "one of the most likely to succeed" throughout his school years, impressing those who crossed his path with his intellect,charm, and overall drive.

Most indie music fans in New Mexico have already heard about the tragic fire that destroyed the historic Golden West Saloon and damaged the El Rey Theatre and Launchpad. When I heard the news reports my heart just sunk.

Our Studios are located right next to this construction, and we have been subject to "Dumptruck Fade" on our power, our Internet connection...and everything else.

Of all the music that has come through the doors of Indie (or across the wires, these days) Tanks by Nathan Moore leaves a mark each time it is played.

NPR ran a story this morning on the Sputnik launch 50 years ago. The focus was on it's place in music history, the lyrics of the Cold War mentality conveyed in contrast with the news coverage of the day. Entire labels have been born of political themes in music. In reviewing the coverage of these days past, it's hard to imagine how current events will play out in future music historian's notes.
