This week’s MUSICcast is a bit of a departure from our regular format. Instead of live music I’ve invited a few staff writers to visit Studio ‘99 and talk about what they’re listening to. Michael Davis, Matt Wilson & Casey Phillips are three of the most musically knowledgeable people I know. Below the link to the podcast is a list of the bands/artists mentioned. Check them out and let me know what you think.
