I’m not going to pretend to know all of the bands that will be playing at Bonnaroo. So, thank god for friends! I have recruited my friends to round up as many CD's of artists as they can so I can learn the songs for prep and research. Amazingly, this little exercise should have me just about covered.
I am a music lover & dabbler in different musical genres, but having children they seem to dictate what is played on the radio. As a result, I have developed an eclectic taste of music. This includes anything from Sesame Street to Nine Inch Nails. From Rick Springfield to Beastie Boys. I’ll even tolerate Brittney Spears. But to me, music is like traveling. With a simple song I can travel back in time. I can escape to a different land (like 123 Sesame Street, right around the corner from Oscar the Grouch), or soak in the sun on a beach, with a drink in hand, in the middle of winter.
I can hardly wait for Bonnaroo to create it’s own memories with it’s wide range of musical choices! Research starts with Citizen Cope and all I have to say is WOW!! I quote, “His music is simple to the point of being stripped down, as if bearing it all was the only way to get our attention.With a mix of hip-hop, folk and blues his songs are mostly beats – mix bass drum, high hat, snare, clap track and texture and keyboard for lift.”
I’m completely in love. What an amazing artist. I will definitely be rubbing elbows with this man.

Hello to all from Nfusion. Another round of challenges has moved beyond us all. Congrats to those of us lucky enough to have survived to this point. Sad to see the others eliminated as they were all very creative and talented. Good Bye to our new friends...
This morning it seemed like just about everyone was in the mood for some Funky Cold Medina...except Kitty. This ridiculous song made it all the way to number 3 in 1989. Jonathan says any song that references advertising dogs from the 80's has got...
Madison's summer music festival season kicks off this weekend with Brat Fest at Willow Island, where there are more bands than you can shake a bratwurst at! Check out the Brat Fest website to plan your itinerary.
Next up is the Marquette...
John Fogerty is making the talk show rounds this week, stopping in to see David Letterman Tuesday and Wednesday, and the ladies of "The View" on Thursday.
He's promoting his new album, "Wrote a Song For Everyone" which comes out next Tuesday...
It's a miracle that both Jonathan and KItty wanted to hear Barry Manilow this morning. They were not alone. Plenty of Fanilow's called in to vote yes. One caller claimed to have seen Manilow in concert 25 times!
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, it is another gorgeous Monday, fit for another great show at the Crystal Corner tonight.
Through locking ourselves in the barn on Irish Lane, tossing some ideas around, as well as a few choice beverages to...
Hey everybody, we were thrown for a loop by the twist this week, but were able to make one of our "oldie but a goldie" songs fit the mold.
We have a few songs that we have played consistently over the years, and we are very happy that we will be...
We just received word of what this weeks twist is, and...oh boy. We need to take our "signature song" and cut it to only 2:30 without going over. Amberstein does not simply play 2:30 versions of our songs...so this could be interesting.
