KHQG’s “Album Side Thursday”

On his Fly High Duluth! blog, Duluth Budgeteer reporter Matt Perrine announced that KHQG-FM 102.5 will be playing uninterrupted vinyl album sides from 9:30am-midnight on Thursday, December 3, 2009. The station is taking requests for album sides to play that day. Perrine himself requested side one of Van Halen’s self-titled 1978 debut album.

While classic rock may or may not be a favorite genre of the PDD crowd, and corporate radio doesn’t get any love here at all, I feel like asking: What’s your favorite album side? Feel free to choose from any musical genre, not just classic rock. If you had 25 minutes or so of public airwaves to fill, which slice of vinyl deliciousness would you send out into the stratosphere?

“Farewell Milwaukee” says “Hello Duluth”

Beaners

While most bands are fleeing their homes for the coastal cities of New York and Los Angeles, Farewell Milwaukee is embracing the role that their Midwestern towns have played in shaping them artistically. Audiences are drawn to their Americana style, authentic lyrics, as well as the chemistry that’s displayed when 5 shaggy boys from the Midwest drop their jaws wide and harmonize as one!

Their debut album “Autumn Rest Easy” bleeds with Americana soul, folk rock, perfect pop harmonies, and a pedal steel that would make all 3 Hank Williams’ proud.  It is a Midwest-fall road tripper’s dream, combining sparkling clean guitar tones and vocal harmonies on tracks perfect for passing hours eastbound on I-94.

Farewell MIlwaukee will be playing at Beaners Central in Duluth on Saturday, Nov. 14 with “Red Fox Grey Fox” and “The People Say Fox

Turbo Rathvon at the Rex, Nov. 14, 11 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Rex Bar, lower level of the Fitger’s Complex, 11 p.m.. Come see Turbo Rathvon with Enchanted Ape.

Indie-rock ‘n roll/ acoustic punk/ indie-pop: from loud and fast and thrilling with cannonball drums and crunching guitars and poppy bass grooves to bare bones acoustic rage and sweet, elegiac tenderness. Lyrically the music is a verbal nervous breakdown on the subjects of love and lostness and chaos at an age when the world is calling you to responsibility.
