Putting this radio show together sure has been eye opening for me to say the least. In the past, I never gave much thought to songs being profane. I’m no prude, by any means. In fact, I’ve been known to curse with such frequency that you’d think I was getting…
Neil Young’s live recording from 1968, when he was just 22, tops Twist & Shout’s bestsellers list, with a strong showing from local acts Everything Absent or Distorted (a love story) and Paper Bird. Also good to see Tom Waits in the Top 10 with an album he released just…
It was world premier week on Mile Hi-Fidelity. Last night, we had the pleasure of debuting songs from A Shoreline Dream, Jon Snodgrass, Littles Paia, Park Pourbaix and the Widowers’ Mike Marchant, who stopped by the studio long enough to give us insight on his new batch of tunes, which…
After taking a week off to celebrate buying/receiving stuff for/from our loved ones, Andy Thomas and I returned to the airwaves last night (a day early in honor of drinking our faces off during Night of the Rookie Livers this evening) and played a bunch of great stuff — as…
Man, what an unbelievably fun show we had last night on 101.5 FM. Eryc Eyl, Tom Murphy and A.H. Goldstein joined me in the studio for the first of a two part Moovers & Shakers special edition of the show. Over the course of two hours, as we discussed and…
Well, Andy Thomas and I — with the help of Jon Solomon, who sat in with us for the second half of the show — made it through the second edition of Mile Hi-Fidelity, our new local show on 101.5 FM. Aside from some novice board-op flubs on my part…
The Verve’s Forth outsold the rest. If you’re looking to load up on new music but aren’t sure where to allocate your hard-earned coin, try polling your peers with Twist & Shout’s most-recent top-sellers’ list, for the week ending 8/31/08. 1. Verve — Forth 2. Slipknot — All Hope Is…
Mr. Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, is having — to straight jack a phrase from VH1 — the best week ever. His first effort under his own name sold enough copies to claim this week’s top seller at Twist & Shout, knocking Beck’s Modern Guilt out of the top spot. And…
Beck’s back on top. Looks like our boy Beck has reclaimed the top spot this week on Twist & Shout’s top seller list, pushing UmConscious back to slots and outselling Coldplay and Sigur Rós, who are, ahem, holding steady weeks after releasing their latest discs…
UmConscious knocks em’ dead. Looks like some massive props are due to the cats in UmConscious, who claimed the top slot at Twist & Shout last week by outselling some big names, including Beck, Sigur Ros, Coldplay, John Mayer and white hot fellow locals Flobots and 3OH!3. Nice work, fellas…
Coldplay had cold game last week. Say what you will about Chris Martin and company, but from a commercial standpoint, you can’t knock the hustle. Still putting asses in the seats, the outfit was Twist & Shout’s best seller last week. 1. Coldplay – Viva La Vida Or Death And…
