This week, we welcome our second-ever guest to the Music Digest studio! Mike Mehalick is the mastermind behind the music blog, Speak Into My Good Eye, and the recently-launched Good Eye Records. We gathered around with a few beverages, a pile of music, and a whole bunch of NJ and music industry-related tangents.
Blox Cord is Speak Into My Good Eye’s collaborative monthly showcase at The Footlight in Ridgewood, Queens, and the next one is happening on Thursday, February 9, featuring Caverns, Eagle Daddy, Funcrusher, and The Off White.
We mention this video for Makeunder's song "Great Headless Blank" from their Good Eye Records EP of the same title.
