Buzz Cutz

Citizen Kane has made a name for themselves with their live performances, so we were more than happy to have them live in the studio for this week’s show. Myron and James helped us give Tom a hard time, but the mutual respect from everyone at the table was more than evident, and I think it shows. See for yourself.

Hope you enjoy it.

It’s safe to say Poor Richards has a special place in my academic history at East Tennessee State University.

Pac Man had just come out along with several other popular video games and beer was cheap by the pitcher in my first years of college. Together with my roommates at Cooper Hall (now demolished) we officially worked ourselves toward academic probation at this local pub and I’m certain it still happens today.

I’d be willing to wager anyone who’s ever attended classes at ETSU has made several trips to Poor Richards. Nothing much has changed either except for an expanded bar next door and a great new stage that hosts live music every Friday night.

We loaded up the camera equipment and made our way Friday night to see 10,000 Flames at “Poor Dicks” and had a good time hanging out with one of the hardest working rock bands in the region. With six years under their belt, they were just as much a part of the legacy as this college pub, especially for long time fans of the local music scene.

It rains. And rains. That what it do.

It has been raining quite a bit today, and the sky shows no signs of offering mercy. My plans of doing some work outside are shot. My hope of enjoying the seasonably warm temperatures has been thwarted. And it makes me think…

What is it about outdoor music festivals that I love so much, and why are they so much more fun than an indoor show? [Read more →]

This week’s show features Henkul, an audio and video artist from Bristol who has been a staple of the rock scene for quite a while - and shows no signs of slowing down. The show ran long, and never got stale.
Dave couldn’t make it, but Tom and I really enjoyed the interview. Hope you do as well.
