Aaron chats with Phil Thornalley, former producer/bass player of The Cure, songwriter of many hits, and recently his solo work Astral Drive and his newest album “Now That I Have Your Attention” on Lojinx Records. A “must get” album for fans of Jeff Lynne, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), Todd Rundgren, Tom Petty, and The Traveling Wilburys. Read the review here.

A big interview with several of the artists on the new tribute album Jem Records Celebrates Pete Townshend. I ask the basic question of each artist “What was the first Who song you heard? and more” Plus Jem Records CEO Marty Scott details his meeting with Pete on the potential release of the Lifehouse project years before it came out.

Another song I like from their first album is “Money.” See below:
Alert! The Buckleys may not fit into my “power pop wheelhouse” but I know a sweet hook when I hear it. The band’s newest single, “Oops I Love You” has the kind of catchy country-pop flavor that could become a HUGE hit if it gets a little love from the music media and fans. The Buckleys are a three-piece band from Australia, consisting of siblings Sarah, Molly, and Lachlan. While they are country-pop; you can hear several classic pop influences; Sheryl Crow, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Fleetwood Mac. They are very polished performers with an interesting history, and their new EP Take It As It Comes, is out on August 5.
On August 5th, Jem Records will release the third tribute album (after John Lennon and Brian Wilson) “Celebrates” album with JEM Records Celebrates Pete Townshend. Once again presenting the label’s artists’ interpretations of a classic rock icon’s songs. I really dig this beatnik version of “Can’t Explain” by Lisa Mychols and Super 8 ( Paul ‘Trip’ Ryan). Snaps all around for this one. More is coming from this release, so hold on to your hats. For a preview of all the artists, check out this compilation video!
