I can’t believe I lost Sunday.  WOW.  Okay, I didn’t really lose it, but somehow or another I forgot what day it was or this would have been posted yesterday.  Don’t really have much to report this week.  It was a dreadfully slow week in the  office, which is good considering the wreck other areas of my life were in.  A couple of quick reminders about new records going out to radio this week and a music event I’m emceeing this coming weekend.

NEW RELEASES
Ryan Chyrs – A Like & A Promise (country)
Bad Brad & the Fat Cats featuring Nic Clark – Eyes on the Prize (blues)

I don’t mind snow … I really don’t.  Gives me an excuse to sit and listen to music all day, without having to worry about much more than … well …listening to music … gee … LOL.  The show never really ends; it just only gets produced and recorded once a week.  Check out the Ben Hanna track below.  It’s pretty funny stuff he’s got on his debut, We Were All Like Whatever.

So far today I’ve listened to the upcoming EP from Andy Hackbarth called Treadmill Horses.  I would imagine radio and press will be getting this disc at the very beginning of April.  Very strong AAA/indie appeal I think.  Some folks are going to be pleasantly surprised at some of the stylistic advances Mr Hackbarth and company have conjured.

Next up was the upcoming new release from Andy Palmer, called Hazard of the Die.  I played a cut last week from this one … Andy went out to LA to record this time, and it shows.  If Hazard of the Die makes its way to the RMMN reporting stations, it would find some fans I’m sure.

I’m also working on radio/press one-sheets for new releases by Dennis Wanebo and Bad Brad & the Fat Cats.  Radio/press should get it all at the end of this next week.

Sorry … no video this week.
