Lots of NEWS!!!

where to start....

Let's start with this:

I spent some time last winter and this spring with local Avante-Garde groups "That's What She Said" in the KMSU studios. Our intent was to record an EP on the cheap that the group could get out to satisfy their fans. We ended up recording over 2 hours of music. Months later, after careful thought and many hours of civil debate, we've narrowed it down to 5 tracks.

Then, in June, I recorded a few tracks with singer/songwriter "Erik the Viking" on his initial trek to southern Minnesota. I've known Erik for about 10 years and it makes me so happy to still have him as a friend and to be a small part of his musical journey.

I'm calling this effort "KMSU Sessions". I'm hoping to work with local bluegrass artists "Beg For Justice" on volume 3 in a few weeks. Got ideas for another group? Lemme hear it! Both of these recordings are available to you. Comment here, reach me on facebook, or send an email to embracethesound@gmail.com and we will get a copy to you.

Next...

I've been playing trumpet in a kick ass brass band called "Bass Brand Brass Band". We've had a few small gigs so far and are stepping it up next weekend. Friday the 28th, we'll be doing a 2 hour set at Patrick's in St. Peter from 7pm-9pm. Then on Saturday the 29th, we'll be doing a short opening set for the 3 Minute Hero CD release show. We're 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, bari sax, sousaphone and drums. Think New Orleans style brass; Dirty Dozen, Youngblood, etc. Like us on facebook and stay abreast of our upcoming shows and recording. I'll be playing along side the trombone section with That's What She Said this Friday, October 21 at the What's Up in Mankato. I believe there are 4 bands that night and it's all completely FREE! Music starts at 10pm.

Then there's...

I am so damned excited to see the Drive-By Truckers for the second time this coming Tuesday at First Ave. If you are in need of a bad ass rock show (you know who you are), I'll see you there.

Pledge Drive time!!

Did I mention KMSU pledge drive begins Wednesday, October 26 and ends Sunday, November 6? Coop Tom is onboard to do a spooky pledge drive show on the 29th (Deadbolt, Cramps, Misfits) and take your pledges. I'll grab a few records out of the collection to give away to our first pledge. Now is your time to occupy KMSU and show your support for commercial free, community based independent public radio!

That should do it for now. Don't forget to "Like" Embrace the Sound on facebook. Free record to the 100th fan!!

April Playlists

What an April! A very successful pledge drive was had by KMSU and we can't thank our listeners enough for stepping up and showing how much you value KMSU and it's local programming. I am honored to be a part of this station and associated with the great hosts that bring music to southern Minnesota and northern Iowa's ears.

The show featured some great new music by Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit from their album "Here We Rest", gave a listen to Radiohead's new release "The King of Limbs", and checked out some sweet music released exclusively on Record Store Day (thanks Carl!). I'm crossing my fingers for a quick interview with Jason when he comes to town to rock the Turf Club in May. Embrace the Sound also welcomed guest host Drew Lyon. Drew used to host "The Porch" on KMSU, does some great writing for the Free Press and works at your friendly local music store Tune Town. Drew brings a perfect flavor to the show and I hope to have him on many times in the future.

I also kept busy attending a few shows in April. Mike Watt and the Missingmen rocked "hyphenated man" at the Turf Club, Ray Manzarek and Roy Rogers played an intimate show at the baeutiful Paramount Theater in Austin, MN, and the PIXIES totally slayed the Legendary Roy Wilkins Auditorium. My co-worker George got his hands on a set list from the PIXIES show and I have it hanging proudly on my board at work, you rock George!!

And now for a special announcement.

Activity on the blog is pretty sparse. So, I would like to give away this record:


Occasional Co-Host Benjamin J. Findley is holding in his hand a copy of A Wilhelm Scream's "Mute Print". This album was recently pressed and released by Suburban Home Records/Vinyl Collective's Vinyl Cooperative. The Coop was started with the idea of bringing together share holders' money to combine efforts to put out great albums that have never been released on vinyl. This is the Co-op's 3rd release. 333 pressed on black and 667 on Mustard Yellow. This baby's black. How do I win this album?, you may ask? Be the first to post on the blog and I'll send it to you. simple as that!
