I had just finalized the tracks for the first part of the October new release series when I received some tragic news. South Dakota Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame member (and good pal) Dave Scarbrough had passed away. Obviously, that changed tonight's broadcast as I needed to share some of the great music Dave produced over the past 40 years or so. Dave's music story began when he first heard punk rock on KAUR in the late 70s, was expanded by the cool records found at Soux Falls record stores Iron Creek and Ernie November, and culminated in fabulous bands such as Ill Bill and the Spinal Chills, State Birds, The Habitual Groove Of It, and The Harvesters. He also engineered and/or produced a number of local projects, and put out quite a few solo records, including 2022's Happy Ever After. You will be missed, Dave. We move from there to a show devoted heavily with friends of the show. Vista Blue and Rob Moss & Skin-Tight Skin/Eytan Mirsky's double-sided singles are aired, along with new tracks by The Pozers, Ricky Rochelle, wht.rbbt.obj, and Numb Surprise. Tav Falco returns with a record that looks back at his storied career, […]

Ok, the “covers” folder is full so it's again time for a show of nothing but remakes! What's surprising is that it usually takes five or six months to be ready for each of this type, but it was only two months ago that I utilized this theme. But then again, there's been a plethora of tribute albums in the last few weeks, mot notably the fabulous Make Something Happen: A Tribute To The Flashcubes on Big Stir Records. I aired a set off this release in my new release episode earlier this month, but it definitely deserved another outting in this episode. But that's not all from our pals at Big Stir Records. On October 10th, they will have the perfect Halloween album with Chilling, Thrilling Hooks and Haunted Harmonies: The Big Stir Records Halloween Grimoire. Featuring almost all of the label's great acts, they've released a prerelease single off the record, a cover of “Eyeball Eater (From Outer Space) by sparkle*jets u.k. What's especailly cool is that the digital version of the single includes a previously unreleased 1958 version by The Legends, a band featuring Richard West, fathre of sparkle*jets u.k.'s Susan West.  Elsewhere, there are fab covers […]

Believe it or not, there are actually rules when it comes to The Ledge's new release series. The main rule is simple – when there is a two part new release series the deadline for both shows is the start of the part one's Friday night broadcast. But rules don't really work in rock and roll, so every now and then I do have to make an important executive decision. That's what happens with this week's second part of the September new release series. I found out at the begining of the week that our good friend Pavid Vermin was putting out a new record, The Life of  a Showgirl, and after he kindly provided me with this wonderful collection of pop-punk (the good kind of pop-punk) I just had to include a couple of tunes this week. (It helps that none of the tunes are over two minutes long.)  The same could be said for another friend of the show, the power pop sounds of Detroit's The Needmores. But their email of their first EP, Side X Side, just barely missed the deadline. Close enough for me! Besides those fabulous new records, this week's episode includes a ton of […]
