Marshall Crenshaw stopped by RadioMilwaukee this afternoon for a chat with Scott Mullins.  Marshall played solo versions of “Passing Through” from his latest release, “Jaggedland” and later treated us to one of his pop classics, “Whenever You’re on My Mind”.  New York resident and Detroit native Crenshaw is driving from gig to gig across the midwest this September…tossing his duffel bag in the car along with a couple guitars.  Last night he was in Minneapolis and immediately following his show tonight, Marshall hops back into the car and heads straight to Chicago for tomorrow’s performance.  You gotta respect that.  Give a listen to Scott Mullins with Marshall Crenshaw on 88Nine, RadioMilwaukee.

Last week, writer, author critic Nathan Rabin stopped by the studio for an interview with 88Nine’s Scott Mullins. Nathan Rabin is also a graduate of University of Wisconsin at Madison and Rabin was the first head writer for The A.V. Club, a position he continues to hold today. He came by to talk about his new book entitiled The Big Rewind: A Memoir Brought To You By Pop Culture.

The Big Rewind, Rabin shares his too-strange-for-fiction life story. From a psilocybin-addled trip to the Anne Frank House to having focus groups for his movie-review panel show opine that all the male critics seemed “gay” and that the show as a whole was “too gay,” Rabin discusses his personal evolution in prose as hilarious as it is unexpectedly poignant.

A couple of weeks ago on 414 Music we had the band Fatty Acids in for an interview and live performance.

The Fatty Acids formed in early 2008. Derek De Vinney, Josh Evert, Joel Van Haren and Cole Quamme started writing rough-edged folk music to provide solace to those who were as grief-stricken by the death of Roy Scheider as they were. A year and a half into their existence, The Fatty Acids have been able to set aside their original intentions for coalescence and evolve into an semi-electro-pop songwriting style based on bible parables and Street Fighter II Turbo.

Take a listen.

On this past week 414 Music we had Milwaukee’s Lovemonkeys in our studio for a performance and interview.

The LoveMonkey’s reputation of non-stop energetic performances keep them among favorites all over Wisconsin & the Midwest. They have produced three CDs of original material, Multiple Live CDs and lots of fun lovin’ music familiar to everybody. Rather than confine themselves to a style genre or the “original versus cover band” stigma so many local bands become labeled with, The LoveMonkeys mix it up and prefer to open the minds, ears and eyes to anybody that will give them the opportunity. The LoveMonkeys simply love to be on stage - and it’s obvious when you watch them perform. The band treats each show as a privilege to have an audience to perform in front of.
