Gabe Cordova’s hushed voice and gentle guitar washed over us and our grillin corn on the cob. Enjoy!

Just a few days away from their extensive European tour, Pysch blues rockers, Radio Moscow record a few tunes and talk about their latest release, Brain Cycles. More Psychedelic sounds, longer songs, and more hair. This is a band you need to keep an ear on.

Micah and Will from Oh Possum stop into Mars Cafe for a  Scented Vinyl session with Dan Bosman.

Wet Chemistry on Myspace.

The intimate nature of Scented Vinyl makes bands whose sound is harder and louder really re-invent themselves. It’s a great venue to see a different side of an artist. So obviously pyscho-billy blues freaks Ski Bunny Suicide had to settle down a little. Sans horns, their sound had less pyscho and more blues with Tony still yelping out every word. More than anything you know these guys have fun playing together no matter what venue or format.

Daniel invited local songwriter/singer Bryan Baker to bring some classic vinyl and share some political tunes as the election was mere days away.  Bryan has an unique following on the online world of  Second Life. On Second Life, you not only can you customize every possible article of clothing, furniture in your pad, hairstyles, and much more, but you can create an entire personal island with interactive buildings, machines, and hangouts. Bryan found this intriguing and joined a few years ago. Being an avid guitarist, but also having a new baby, he found it hard to make it out to play shows, so he created a venue on his island in which to play his tunes for those hanging in Second Life.
