Happy 80th birthday to Jon Anderson, one of my biggest musical heroes. He released an amazing album with The Band Geeks in August, and a couple of days before it was released, I got to interview him via Zoom.

You want a good new Yes album with Jon Anderson on vocals, you say? Well, here you go! This is as close to classic Yes as you can get these days.
Norwegian artist, and Madrugada frontman, Sivert Høyem is out with a sparkling new, and wonderful, album called On an Island. We did a track by track walk through of the album, which has garnered high critical praise in the past weeks.
Andy McCluskey of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark is getting ready for their new tour. I talked to him about how you can sell millions of records and still owe your record company money, ZZ Top, their hopeless band name and how Kraftwerk helped him start a girl band.
He wrote his biggest hit single on the toilet, taught Steven Seagal to play Hendrix and has scored blockbuster films. And now, after 34 years, Rabin goes solo again.
Jarre is anti-nostalgic. Even when he looks back, he looks forward.
On her last two albums, which really was one album split in two, Aurora declared her own queendom. And she’s still reigning supreme!
