This week’s charts were wonderful as well, but I am super psyched on this week’s adds in the radio 200 world. Akron/Family’s newest album, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free has been tearing up KZSC since their show at the Brookdale in March, and now it’s officially tearing up the airwaves. Somewhere between psychedelia, rock,…

A show review!

Shows that are put on by people at places that are not typically “venues” in the sense of a place like the Catalyst. Without being patronizing or pedantic, I’m…

Rainy day recommendations

Inviting, soft melodies between two voices that can sing so simply…
