A New Wave icon in the 80s with his band Kajagoogoo, Limahl also sang the theme to "The Neverending Story", and went on doing solo work for years.

His latest work is some great "Jazz Crooner" material, up there with Bing Crosby, Holly Johnson, Martin Fry, and Andy Williams.

This new work he decided to spring on us was a cover of America's classic "Horse With No Name", along with a video that explains EVERYTHING. At age 66, he is as creative as ever, and delivering music on his own terms.

Cali Tucker hit the screens of the US on "The Voice", she did a lot of cover songs even an album of covers. Now she is playing her own work, that is fun, campy, and delivers a great experience. You just need to watch her videos to get what I am talking about.

Her recent release "Urban Cowboy" covers the expanse of none existent creatures, Santa, Bigfoot, Easter Bunny, all of which can bring you to a good laugh.

Cali is the kind of woman that will set herself up to take a fall, if the laughs are going to be worth it. She has a HUGE heart, and writes about people she loves, and stands for them, fighting along with them.

Her music is on the country framework, built on top of pop sensibilities.

Having kicked off her career in Britains' Got Talent, Janet Devlin is still delivering great music. She just released a new album "Emotional Rodeo" filling the niche of Country Music in Ireland, (Yeah I didn't even know there was one) and spreading the love thick across all these new song.

We talk about the back story for the songs, one of which was written in the aftermath an emotional meltdown text, others, just happened in her journey. This interview has it all, songs about alcoholism, mental healt, human sexuality, and of course we had to talk about Dolly Parton too.

This interview has something for everyone, and this album is just a total winner.

Sometime you hear someone that hooks ya, then spins you around like when your canoe capsizes and you end up face down in some rapids tossed around completely out of control. That is musically and emotionally what I experienced first time through with "Miss Velvet".

Miss Velvet is one of those "andro" artists, like Grace Jones, Prince, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Pink. She has this incredible divine goddess spirit to her, and also pulling through some powerful masculinity, like you would expect a goddess to do .

She is ready to release a new EP on March 21at "TRIPTYCH", which has several powerful songs and videos to it.

We talked about her work, and how powerful it was, what the inspiration was that brought her to be who she is, the power of connecting with the earth walking barefoot at the Dead Sea, and meeting her spirit animal. Yeah, all that and more.

A true renaissance man Paul Mazzolini, known to the world by his stage name "Gazebo". He came to prominence everywhere else in the world, except the US. His music was never release here, and it is an absolute travesty that the Americans never got to hear him.

I got into his work in 1985, and it was a 7 year journey to even know his name, after I loved his epic "I Like Chopin", a dark new wave electronica classic, that sent me looking for the composer, which got me into New Order, Yaz, and so many others.

He is the "Godfather" of Italian Disco, and you really can hear where so much was stolen from him and his work over the years, by so many, like the Pet Shop Boys, and Modern Talking.

He talked to me from his farm in Tuscany Italy, in the middle of wine fields, and olive orchards, about his lyrics, the poems behind them, the stories that inspired him, and the paintings that moved him. It's not too late to have this Italian classic artist move our soul with his compositions, dive in, you're welcome.

What do you do when a veteran guitar player, with punk rock sensibilities, who loves playing sleaze rock, heavy metal, punk, and country rock finally decides to release his own album? We got to ask Frank Meyer at last. Having interviewed him with a project "The Dobermen", and "The Streetwalking Cheetas", and his work with Eddie Spaghetti, you develop a history with one of Rock & Rolls well known guitarists. Said "Well known" guitarist has played with legends like Cherie Currie of "The Runaways", and so many other legends.

Frank and I have spoken several times, and usually we go off on other people's great albums, as two music geeks should.

This interview we cover some personal stories behind the lyrics on this record, and so much more.

In a world of mixing entire musical genres, I think we have a winner with Nona Invie, I would describe her music as Dream Pop meets folk electronica.

Nona Invie is releasing today "An EXCLUSIVE YOU HEARD IT HEAR FIRST" kind of thing a new album called "Self Sooting" and that is very much what it is. Imagine Peter Murphy's "Love Hysteria" mixed so beautifully into a musical marriage with Stella Rose Gahan's current work, like that, only a bit dreamier.

She will only have a few simple lines, and take several minutes of music in between each one to tell the story.

We talked about the background of the songs, the juxtaposition in the videos, to her sexuality of being a queer musician and not liking labels, just enjoying being under the "Queer blanket".

She has written a lot about personal loss, and people in her life that could not get out of a bad rutt, and what it cost everyone. I was able to relate to her stories, and I am afraid so many of us will.

A "Power Punk" band that has been on the scene since 1991, they have put together a new album called "Lovely Stuff", it is full of great old school punk vibes, and right after that, a great single based on "Allegiance" to the ideals of REAL America.

We covered their catalog, these great stories behind the songs, some history of dating, and a few ideas of love songs in the punk world.

Josh Caterer tells all after 30+ years making great music, playing a lot of shows, and how their shows allow them to connect to the punters on an inspirational level.

We also talked about Judy Garland of all things.

If you have never heard "Urban Heat" well, times' up. Austin Texas multi ethnic synth-based Goth Rock band are soon going to be handed the torch from The Cure, Or Fields of the Nephilim, The Sisters of Mercy, but maybe NOT Love & Rockets.

I got to do a deep dive into their music with principle songwriter and vocalist Jonathan Horstman, covering their "Spinal Tap" moments in Europe, the US tour, Cruel World, and him being a construction worker in Haiti to put his life back together.

These guys are going to knock your socks off, and you should hope to see them on tour with Killing Joke soon, or headlining massive venue tours, as their music is catching on, make sure you're not missing out.

In the goth music genre, usually being listened to in some dank basement without much light, just AWESOME music, it's nice when a band cracks the window open, and lets some fresh air in from the usual doom and gloom. For that, we have "The Ritualists". Frontman, bassist, songwriter, drummer, producer, etc Christian Dryden and I covered so much of their influence, who they worked with to end up with their sound, and what makes the lyricist tick. I describe them as goth, with a great dance beat. The lyrics are just as harsh and deep as any, often making you think a lot, aside with some Duran Duran influenced Bunnymen sounding goth rock. Yeah, something for everyone.

I covered a lot of the first album "Baroque and Bleeding" and I got a good dive into the upcoming release "Too Pure to Cure", (It's a banger I promise)

I have been a fan of theirs since the pandemic, and a friend nudged me to reach out to them, and wow what a great convo was had.
