Stef Chura – Midnight [Saddle Creek] A timeless rocker from Stef Chura. Chura’s voice hits like a truck. It’s pushed and strained to that sweet spot right before it becomes contrived. She has a natural affect that a lot of singers might try to fake, with little to no success. The melodies ramble almost in […]
As we creep ever so slowly into what is sure to be a long, hot Summer (we will pay for our extended Spring), it’s important to remind ourselves that our interest in vinyl records doesn’t come without hazards. If you’re just now exploring the wonderful world of vinyl, you should know that it has a […]

There is a winter lull between mid December and early January. The steady stream of stellar releases freezes over, as consumers turn their attention to holiday gifts, travel and the transitioning from one year to the next. But, if you wait a couple weeks into January, you are always rewarded with an amazing Friday of […]

That’s when we get the most in […]
