Lord a-mighty! @RissiPalmer promised we were going to both go to church and shake our ass, and holy moley did she deliver @AMERICANAFEST @theampblog
I first saw @indiaramey at @AMERICANAFEST last year, and it was one of my favorite sets. She's back this year, and this time she's playing behind a terrific new album, "Baptized by the Blaze." Read my review at @theampblog, check out the album, and catch a set at the fest.
First listen: “Baptized by the Blaze,” out Aug. 23 from outlaw country firebrand @indiaramey, hits the ground at full gallop and barely stops for breath over 30+ blazing, twanging minutes, exploring rebirth, redemption and kicking ass. I’ll have a review next week at @theampblog
Is @DietLiteMusic the most fun band in Milwaukee and environs? I say yes! @MileOfMusicFest
Melissa Carper is one of my favorite finds in recent years. She's a wildly talented musician and songwriter. Her new album, out tomorrow, is jammed with super catchy songs, jazzy and soul-filled, in turns unabashedly romantic and super witty @ThirtyTigers turnuptheamp.com/home/2024/7…

Great story. That was such a massive album in sales and cultural impact - I'm surprised that there's an aspect that I didn't really know anything about

First listen: Melissa Carper isn’t one to stay in one lane, and her new album, “Borned in Ya,” takes us on a wonderful journey through country, jazz, blues and western swing. I’ll have a review on @theampblog before the July 19 record release. (Lyza Renee photo) @ThirtyTigers
Check out the first three songs released from "Borned in Ya" on Carper's YouTube page: youtube.com/@melissa.carper
And still the chorizo has never won - it's an outrage!
Today in 1993, The @Brewers introduced the first Sausage Race during the 6th inning of their game at Milwaukee County Stadium. The race was a huge success with fans and was made a permanent fixture, while copycat races would be introduced around baseball as a result.

I still can't get over how bad AI has become. And this is coming from a computer scientist who spent over a decade studying and programming AI.
I fucking LOVE AI, but here are 10 reasons I absolutely fucking hate it now, a 🧵 ...
I think I've heard that @eltonofficial song from Lion King at every trip to the dentist since 1994. That guy must have a couple solid gold yachts by now from that alone
Pretty happy to review a Milwaukee band's full-length debut album, which is pretty fab. If you like your alt-country fast and loud, you might like Ladybird's album, Amy Come on Home (photo credit @SamerGhani)
