Homecoming Issue Will Arrive on October 4th!

October 4th is Homecoming at Music Spectrum. The October issue will feature reviews of some artists that I’ve listened to for years. . .James McMurtry, Charlie Sexton, and the Fall. Hearing them again is like coming home.

We’re also headed to my home. . .the Midwest. The issue also features a series of reviews of Midwestern artists, including Mark Croft, the Pull, and Spin Spin Coupling.

Reminder: if you are a Blogarithim subscriber, because of the new domain name, it is necessary to re-enter your email address on the form in the sidebar of this page. Thank you.

As always, to get an email alert when the new reviews are posted, sign up for the email newsletter by sending an email to me with the word, “SUBSCRIBE,” in the subject line.

Until October, please enjoy September’s reviews and support the artists!
