Well, for over two years, I’ve looked to establish a separate presence for music-only articles on Mandrake FM. Well, you know what? The music podcasts and articles are moving…back to the main blog, Mandrake Society Radio. Music is a part of me and my community’s story, so like a return to the [...]
After I received the tweet from Pete Freedman about the bands having to move inside because of noise, I figured I’d get on down to Good Records to see what the fuss was about. This past Saturday was Record Store Day and Good Records 9th Birthday celebration. I always seemed to miss the [...]
Kevin Sandbloom has been bringing his blues/soul from Los Angeles to Dallas or a yearly basis (usually via a Mike Guinn event), and the man can hold it down with just a guitar and bluesy vocal, as you can hear on my interview with him last year. On his latest CD, Under Pink and [...]

For those of you picking out the outfits and readying the “just-in-case” kit (and you know what I mean), this mixtape’s for you. Kissey Asplund, together with Hi Perspective, brings a groove that beckons the night to come on “Faster”, while Incognito bring a good luck charm/jam for the New Year with “Happy People”. [...]
In August of this year, I began co-editing a new blog called popolio with my friend in Austin, Freddie Rodriquez a.k.a. “Freddie Beat”, and one of our favorite features on the blog is the popolio pop quiz. The quiz poses random questions to musicians and groups working and/or touring the D/FW and Austin area [...]
These Texas ladies, or “studs” as they call themselves, bring the business in their new video for their single, “Studz Anthem”. Check it out! What is a “stud” you ask? Watch the video and you’ll know.
Okay, this has got to be my most pop-sounding “mixtape”, but I LOVE it!! These are singles that I’ve been digging for the past few weeks, and I simply must share.
