Songwriter Benjamin Tod didn’t have a particular time or event in mind when he sat down to write Lost Dog Street Band’s new single, “If You Leave Me Now,” a neon-lit reflection on consequence and love. “It came to be from a lifetime of bad decisions and I overcame the last few years,” remembers Tod.

A perfect choice. Kacey Musgraves is officially sending her song "The Architect" to country radio as the second single from her fifth studio album Deeper Well, which was just released this past Friday. It was the immediate standout to me, and I have, quite literally, had it on repeat all weekend long. Written by Kacey along with Shane McAnally and Josh Obsorne, who are her co-writers on her hit single and all-around incredible song, "Merry Go ‘Round," it's an absolute stunner. Those three always make magic together, and while Kacey has a complicated history with country radio, to put it mildly, I think this song has so much potential and should be a #1 hit (though I'm not holding my breathe): https://twitter.com/USRadioUpdater/status/1768492166999933141 The song finds Kacey tackling some deep subject matter in terms of the universe and how we all got here, where she marvels at simple creations like an apple: "Even something as small as an apple It's simple and somehow complex Sweet and divine, the perfect design Can I speak to the architect?" She continues, questioning whether everything in life was meticulously designed by God, wanting to see the "blueprints and plans" for everything because of how beautiful and confusing it can all be: "I thought that I was too broken And maybe too hard to love I was in a weird place, then I saw the right face And the stars and the planets lined up Does it happen by chance? Is it all happenstance? Do we have any say in this mess? Is too late to make some more space? Can I speak to the architect? This life that we make, is it random or fate? Can I speak to the architect? Is there an architect?" Once again, it's a pretty daring single to send to… Read More
Another vote for strong fathers. A little more than a month removed from the tragic events of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Parade, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker sat down with EWTN News to about his faith, his family life, gun violence, Taylor Swift and more. Of course, what happened at the parade that afternoon was absolutely tragic, and unfortunately, all too common in our society. A verbal altercation among young people resulted in guns being drawn and shots being fired with no regard for the thousands of innocent people that were around. One woman, a local radio DJ, was killed, and 22 others were injured, including many in critical condition. Half of the victims are were under the age of 16. Two adults, Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays, were charged today with second degree murder, as well as armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. Both Miller and Mayes were struck by gunfire during the shooting, and have been hospitalized themselves, and will now face up to life in prison if convicted. Two juveniles have also been charged in connection with the shooting, but their identities haven’t been released because they’re both minors. Much of the conversation afterward has centered around gun control, a complicated and nuanced issue on its own, but the heart of the matter goes deeper than that. Why are young people resulting to such reckless and callous violence at the slightest instance of confrontation? Why are teenagers literally shooting each other because someone looked at them the wrong way? Taking lives over the slightest perceived amount of disrespect? It's profoundly, profoundly sad According to Butker, the problem is "degenerative violence" and it begins with a lack of strong fathers: “I had to do a lot of thinking about what took place at the… Read More
KW6 is coming soon. Koe Wetzel has been teasing new music for the last few weeks, and even released a single called "Damn Near Normal" recently, which is the first new song he's put out since his 2022 Hell Paso album. Needless to say, since it's been going on two years since his last studio album, fans have been wondering when the Texas rocker might drop his next project, and it feels like we might be getting pretty close to an announcement. In a post on Instagram earlier today, Koe shared a video from the studio where he was in a writing session, telling his co-writers he had enough "slower songs" and he wanted to put together a few heavier, more rocking songs like we're used to from him: "I will say, from what we have worked together on, I want to get a little more edgier. Let's get crazy with it. I feel like we have enough slower songs than what people are used to from me, so let's back to what they know. Which is that rocky, nasty shit." It ends with: "KW. COMING SOON." Stay tuned... he also teases part of a new song at the very end so make sure you watch the whole video to hear that too: https://www.instagram.com/p/C4qYFntx5GU/ "Damn Near Normal" finds Koe reflecting on where he’s at in his life at 31 years old, with some very honest lyrics that describe his journey as an artist, which is maybe not as fulfilling as he thought it would be, especially considering that he doesn’t have a family of his own yet because he certainly doesn’t live a “traditional” life. Written by Wetzel alongside Gabe Simon, Amy Allen, Carrie Karpinen and artist Sam Harris, the first verse is pretty telling in terms of his innermost… Read More
The Los Angeles Dodgers were tuning up for the 2024 MLB season with a set of exhibition games in South Korea, and the nation welcomed them with open arms and their very own dance crew. In quite the sultry display of choreography, the squad of lovely ladies hyped up fans in attendance by busting some moves to "S&M" by Rihanna. https://twitter.com/Dodgers_Dougout/status/1769206968848396639 Boy, that escalated quickly. A bold song choice indeed that invokes some rather graphic imagery. But hey, all things considered, the dancers kept it classy and showed out with this little number. Dodgers players were also watching intently when South Korean actress Jeon Jong-seo tossed out the first pitch: https://twitter.com/megzmurr/status/1769450172067483911 That's hospitality if I've ever seen it. Can't blame the gents, either. It's not like you have to really lock in for baseball at this point in the calendar year. The Dodgers are fresh off three straight 100-win seasons and a World Series title the year before that run. They even added Shohei Ohtani to their already-loaded roster. This club could sleepwalk through half the season and still win 100 games again. The trick will be to avoid another one-and-done fate in the NLDS, which has befallen the Dodgers in each of the last two postseasons. For now, though? Let the good times roll. The Seoul Series features the Dodgers facing off with the NL West rival San Diego Padres, along with a couple other exhibition matchups with local teams at Gocheok SkyDome. I'm sure the players who made the lengthy trip to Seoul are eager for the experience of traveling to an exotic country, but as far as the baseball playing itself goes, I wouldn't be too jazzed about that if I were them. The MLB regular season is already 162 games, plus the postseason if you make… Read More
Well-deserved. The Country Music Hall of Fame just announced their class of 2024, and it includes two legendary country hitmakers: Toby Keith and John Anderson, along with guitarist James Burton, who was a member of Elvis Presley's band and has played with artists like Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings and Frank Sinatra. Toby Keith's induction in the Modern Era Artist category comes just over a month after his death, though the committee was already voting on the nominees when he passed. And it's likely that he would have gotten in either way, not only for his incredible catalog of iconic music but also because he was already at the front of voter's minds amid his health issues as he battled stomach cancer and the incredible attention he received for his emotional performance of "Don't Let the Old Man In" at the People's Choice Country Awards. And for the Veterans Era Artist category, John Anderson seems like a natural pick (and honestly I'm surprised that he wasn't already a member). With iconic hits like "Straight Tequila Night," "Seminole Wind," "Money In the Bank" and "Swingin'," it's hard to find a more distinctive voice in country music. Anderson only notched five #1 hits during his career, which is insane to me, but he's still recognized as one of the legends of the '80s and '90s. Speaking on the induction, Toby Keith's family said that it was comforting to know that Toby's music was continuing to be recognized: “Toby’s passing left our hearts broken. We miss him so much, but we take comfort that his music and legacy will live forever. Thank you, Country Music Hall of Fame, for helping keep it alive.” And Anderson said he's still trying to wrap his head around being a member of the Hall… Read More
