The Ripple Effect: The Music Commentary Radio Show  

Nobody loves a musical freak out more than me. When a band comes along and throws some off time, bone rattlin’ into a mix of razor sharp guitars, thick low end grooves and manically majestic vocals, well . . . odds are, you’re gonna’ get my attention. Make the whole thing sound crisp with an experienced knob twirler or a sound engineer who calibrates his own microphones for giggles, oh boy . . . my pulse is increasing. Take all of the elements of experimentation and confine those same elements into a concise capsule of time to eliminate senseless noodling, exceeding five minutes only on the rare occasion . . . uh oh, the sweat is starting to bead up on my forehead. Make the songs dark little epics that let the imagination go wild and inspire one to pick up an instrument for their own artistic creation . . . if you haven’t called the paramedics by now, I really wish you would. I’m gonna’ be in need of medical attention in about five minutes. Thank you.
