Motonaut: Mike Indest and the electro pop journey
If memory serves me correctly, I first came across Motonaut on MySpace. I think they liked the influences on our music list and mentioned something about Mike Knott. I can’t really remember, but I liked their music and added them to our friends list. Probably about a month later Matt emailed me and asked if [...]
The Sound Gallery: Herb Grimaud Jr.
Herb Grimaud Jr. has the best list of musical influences that I have ever seen on MySpace. He has great taste in movies and he’s covered up in tattoos. I was glad to catch up to him and talk to him about several things – including his band The Sound Gallery, his wife Leslie Dupre-Grimaud [...]

Remembering Gene: Lisa Andrusco
I loved my brother very much. As we were growing up he teased me all the time because we were so different. He loved to tease me about the music I listened to, stuff like Donny & Marie Osmond and The Jackson Five. Gene had incredible talent and I looked up to him so much. [...]
