The other night I watched the documentary, It Came From Detroit, and several things struck me. 1) Third Man Record’s Ben Blackwell and Ben Swank both make appearances, so if you ever questioned their Detroit roots, this film will absolve those doubts. 2) Watching this movie and substituting “Nashville” whenever they talk about the wealth […]
I promise this is among the top 5 weirdest Christmas songs you’ll hear this season. And, yes, you may take that as a challenge.
I was fully expecting a 4 minute bit of Glossary goofiness when this was announced but it’s great to see that it’s a full-on 37-minute extravaganza. Watch performances from Glossary, Austin Lucas, Cory Branan, Birdcloud and Glossary again. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Sadly, any mention of D. Watusi brings about the incredibly sad and unfortunate memory of the passing of bassist Ben Todd. His departure really can’t be overstated enough as a real loss for the world. I’m not even using the least bit of exaggeration or hyperbole with that statement, the world was better with him […]

If you were to tell me that by the end of 2013 of my favorite releases of the year would be from a band comprised of drums and two bass players I’d probably give you a bit of an odd blank stare. However, the full-length from Tower Defense is exactly that and I find myself […]
A lovely, dancey, single taken from the forthcoming What Up English EP. Do I detect a bit of funk influence going on here? I think I do!
Back in October I posted a preview of the new Roman Candle album, Debris. I wanted to sit with the album before I posted a proper review. In that time, I’ve listened to the record no less than ten times a week and feel like any overly enthusiastic review I give to it will do […]
It is Friday the 13th. This means D. Striker is playing and releasing a new edition of the RR Zine. This is always a good time. Don’t miss it. Friday the 13th in December won’t happen again until 2019! Who knows where you will be! Get to The Basement tonight.
Nothing like being serenaded at a Christmas party, right? I think if I were actually attending this soiree I’d mumble something offensive and go cower in the corner but, admittedly, the songs are enjoyable. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
Tristen – Daytrotter Session
I’m not gonna lie, I have huge suspicions regarding any band that moves from a bigger city to a smaller one. Why would they do that? What could possibly be the advantage of doing so? Turns out, that kind of paranoia talk really isn’t healthy or productive and, 99.9% of the time turns out to […]
