At first glance, the latest installment of the cover song series is no different than any previous episode. Behind the scenes, though, serendipity is at play here. Like usual, I had quitely filled my “covers” folder over the last few months. A few weeks ago, I had accumulated enough tracks to schedule the show. I could have done it at the end of April, or last week. Next week even. Or I could have held it over until June. But no, I was determed in do on May 23. Then on my usual record store run last Friday I found a number of great Minneapolis garage rock records from the 50s and 60s. Most were compilatons, but I also found a Sundazed Music reissue of The Gestures’ self-titled album from 1966. Hailing from Mankato, MN, they had a hit in 1964 with “Run, Run, Run”, their debut single. I picked up this reissue, and loved it! Fast forward to yesterday as I was looking at the various new releases for the week. I was excited to see that Beebe Gallini had a new record out called Begged, Borrowed and Stealed! Even better was the fact that not only is this a […]

This episode started off with a simple search for a Mother’s Day song. I just wanted to check out what songs I had about moms. But I noticed something quite off. I also had quite a few songs whose title included a much longer word that included the word mother. Like a whole plethora of songs that a polite person like myself would never, ever knowingly type in a show description like this. So that’s what we have tonight. 39 songs whose titles involves a certain expletive. It’s quite a fun show, but if you are NOT a fan of profranity you may want to wait for next week’s show. I won’t take it personally.  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

The Denver Nuggets lost game 4 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in what can only be described as a terrible game from both teams that OKC was slightly less terrible in. On the latest Mortcast Jeff speaks to Nuggets fans and talks them off the ledge and tells them to treat game 4 as an anomaly. Enjoy the show!

This may be the 666th episode of The Ledge, but there’s nothing evil about the music played tonight. It’s actually nothing but joyful noise, 38 blasts that prove that rock and roll is as strong as ever. And once again, we traverse the world for quality sounds. Besides the usual lineup of Americans, there’s not one but two fabulous bands from France, along with other European artists. There’s the usual handful of Australians.   There’s also a plethora of veterans still pumping out records you need to hear. Muck and the Mires have been releasing garage rock for over 25 years. The Rabies reunited after 40 years for one of the great surprises of the years. Former Soft Boys guitarist Kimberly Rew returns. Personlity Cult may be much younger, but they consist of members of Ledge favorites Mind Spiders and Paint Fumes (plus many other bands). What’s your favorite new release?  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Bernice Clifton has given us so much over the years. Her final parting gift? A reference to the iconic 1991 film: Thelma & Louise. It's a shoot ‘em up, outlaw adventure featuring two outrageously talented women amidst a banger cast. It's a bittersweet feminist text that shook up Hollywood stereotypes – and forever upholds the unshakable bond of female friendship.  Brandon Davis from Front Row Classics returned to help us unpack this one: what it changed, what it didn't, allll the trivia, and why this one holds a special place in our hearts - whether this was our first or 100th time seeing it.

The Ledge is back! Yes, I did announce that it was unlikely that I’d have a show this week due to my recent medical procedure. But I seem to be recuperating nicely, so why not put together a show? I do chat about my experiences at the top of the program, and I do want to thank everyone that reached out to say they were thinking of me. It’s so much appreciated. As for this week’s broadcast, it’s all about Record Store Day. Yes, I know there are a lot of people that are not fans of this event. It didn’t help that this year included a couple of mainstream titles that should have had better availability (in other words, a much higher pressing). Yes, I understand that most people don’t care about rarities such as outtakes and live recordings. I get it. If that’s your belief then stay away! But I love everything about it. It’s the one day that this curmudgeon hangs with the crowd before the doors open. I enjoy chatting with folks about what they’re hoping to find, or what they’ve bought in the past. And yes, I do love live albums. I do love rare […]

This months marks the 40th anniversary of Cat's Eye. Directed by Lewis Teague, the 1985 anthology film delivers three memorable adaptations for "Quitters, Inc.", "The Ledge", and the written-for-the-screen-closer "General". Join the Losers as they finally review the King classic as part of their ensuing Long Watch series.

KMOX Sports Director Tom Ackerman joins Marc & Kim to calm Blues fans down.

Jason Fraley interviews rap legend Rakim, who performs live at Bethesda Theater in Bethesda, Maryland this Friday, April 18. The groundbreaking emcee breaks down his internal rhyme schemes across a career of hip-hop hits, including “Paid in Full,” “I Ain't No Joke,” “I Know You Got Soul,” “Follow the Leader,” “Don't Sweat the Technique” and “Juice (Know the Ledge).” (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

This second part of the monthly new release series probably should have been titled after the final song of the show. Former Blackhearts guitarist Ricky Byrd’s “RnR’s Demise (Has Been Greatly Exaggerated)” certainly matches the philosophy of The Ledge, and the fact that month after month we provide over four hours of newly issued tunes is certainly proof. Again, we have a number of “friends of the show”, including White Rose Motor Oil, New Brutarians, Geoff Palmer, and a whole set of tracks from Rum Bar Records. There’s also the return of The Memories, The Minus 5, and Throwing Muses, along with new bands (at least to us) such as The Roxies, Midlife Crisis, Dead Bars, and Creem Circus (love the name, btw).  Also, just a note that due to an upcoming medical procedure there will be now show next week (and possibly the following week).  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Australian icon Tex Perkins takes us through his legendary career, from The Cruel Sea & The Beasts recent works, to wild ARIA award nights, his atrocious habits with vinyl records, reissuing his works on vinyl and lots more.  Topics Include: Tex Perkins rehearsing with The Cruel Sea for upcoming gigs. Bringing back "deep cuts" from 30 years ago. Band already prepared the songs before his arrival. Feels like "personal karaoke" returning to old material. Gains fresh perspective on older songs with time. Sometimes writes songs instinctively, not from personal experience. Song "Hard For You" channeled rage he hadn't experienced. Recorded with Kid Congo Powers from Bad Seeds. ARIA Awards incident clarified - didn't stab anyone. Hit someone with a glass at an after-party. Molly Meldrum was present during the altercation. Lived with Jules Normington of Phantom Records. Paid rent by washing Jules' dishes. Had access to Jules' extensive record collection. Especially enjoyed 60s punk and garage rock records. Met John Foy, who was pedantic about record handling. Music scattered across many different record labels. Controls some albums, but not all. Universal owns The Cruel Sea and some Beasts albums. Axeman's Jazz recorded and mixed in six hours. Recent album "Ultimo" recorded differently - basic tracks then laptop. Modern recording allows more experimentation without studio costs. Prefers vinyl album lengths around 18-20 minutes per side. Three Legged Dog being released on three vinyl sides. Spanish reissues were "handshake deals" with unclear accounting. Appreciates unashamedly Australian content in newer bands. Newer bands don't hide their Australian accents. Never experienced censorship of his music. Had releases in different regions without his knowledge. No accounting from Big Time label after bankruptcy. Performed with The Legendary Stardust Cowboy in 1985. "Ledge" known for having "world's worst record" - Paralyzed. Backed Ledge with James Baker, Spencer Jones, Lachlan McLeod. Ledge progressively stripped during his performance. Threw Frisbee paper plates with drawings into the audience.

Since it’s the last episode of March, it is definitely time for first quarter recap. Over two hours of tracks from the best albums released over the last three months. There’s plenty of power pop, garage rock, psych, post-punk, punk, and even some straight ahead rock and roll. There are the usual veterans such as Bob Mould, Guided By Voices, Throwing Muses, and The Men, but there are plenty of newer bands such as Dropkick, Private Lives, Transistors, and Dead Bars. (Yes, there is also an inadvertent 2024 record included. My apologies for the mistake.)  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

For the third, and final, episode where The Ledge attempts to fix the godawful errors of The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame we handle the overlooked bands of the 90’s. Along with the usual punk and indie rock bands of that time, there’s also a couple of sets devoted to the Americana sub-genre that rose in popularity during that time. Again, just think of how much fun a ceremony would be that included the likes of the Supersuckers, Steve Earle, Rocket From the Crypt, Fugazi, Superchunk, and so many other greats. Maybe an Uncle Tupelo reunion could be negotiated after an all star jam under the Golden Smog name. Billy Childish could possibly jam with Reverend Horton Heat and Archers of Loaf! Oh that would be a show I wouldn’t miss! I also start the show with a lengthy discussion about my friend Monica Kindt, who tragically passed away earlier this week. She was my manager at two different record stores over the years, and was a person who endured many of my childish rants over the years. My thoughts go to her family and all of us friends who miss her so much. She would have loved my […]

The secone episode of March’s new release series is jam packed with quality new tunes. There’s the usual lengthy set of brand new Rum Bar releases, including some highights of the upcoming free Swagger Second Shot compilation. Big Stir Records is represented by the latest by Chris Church. There are old faves such as Bob Mould, The Liminanas, Jason Isbell, and Gary Louris of The Jayhawks. Vista Blue celebrates the return of baseball with “Clearing the Benches”. The Tubs and Horsegirl have new sophomore efforts as strong as their debuts. But what excites me the most this week are the first two tunes of the show. “(That Ain’t One I’m) Willin’ to Lose” marks the Ledge debut of Sioux Falls songwriter Meriwether Raindelay & The Original Star Band. I’m hoping it’s the beginning of a series of fabulous releases. And there is also the latest by The Ex-Bombers. The wrestling nerd that I am loves the fact that they have yet another theme for the ring, and this time “He’s a Bad, Bad Man” is the entrance theme for NWA’s Jeremiah Plunkett. Even better is that the band AND Plunkett recorded intros for the show! For more info, including setlists, […]

Send us a textWhat does it mean to truly connect in a world that's becoming more digital by the day?Asger Leth is a Danish filmmaker, writer, and creative visionary known for his documentary and feature filmmaking work. He gained international recognition for Ghosts of Cité Soleil (2006), a gripping documentary set in Haiti, and later directed the Hollywood thriller Man on a Ledge (2012). Asger has spent years living and working globally with a background deeply rooted in storytelling and cinema. In this episode, filmmaker and creative visionary Asger Leth shares his journey from a restless nomadic life to creating Lakehouse,a cultural and community space in Copenhagen designed to unite people through dialogue, creativity, and shared experiences.We dive into:Why some people need movement while others need stabilityThe role of risk and uncertainty in a fulfilling lifeHow AI and the internet are reshaping how we trust informationWhy real-life spaces like Lakehouse are more necessary than everFrom filmmaking to philosophy, from travel to deep discussions, this episode is an exploration of what it means to be truly present, connected, and engaged with the world. 

Last week I debuted a new series where The Ledge rights the wrongs of that inept board that handles the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. The previous episode presented artists from the 50s, 60s, and 70s that deserves to be inducted. This week we handle the 80s. Take a look at the 33 artists I present on this broadcast. You can’t deny that this would make the Hall a lot more fun. Imagine Jello Biafra’s induction speech for the Dead Kennedys! Or the remarks Henry Rollins would make for Black Flag. Or the emotions that would erupt for the late Shane MacGowan and the rest of The Pogues. How about the ensuing jam session that would involve Nick Cave with members of X, The Cramps, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, and the Fleshtones? Of course, any Hall that I curate would have to include The Replacements! In fact, just insert them into the building and all of my complaints would immediately end. (Or would it?)

A few days ago, the 2025 nominees for The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame were announced. Like usual, there was very little actual rock and roll reflected in their choices. Whatever. Honestly, I’ve stopped caring about that nonsense many, many years ago. It’s a TV show these days. It doesn’t reflect the history of the genre. It’s all about ratings in a time where nothing but the NFL actually attracts eyeballs to the telly. So tonight starts a three part series of shows devoted to artists that SHOULD be in the decrepit museum. Tonight we’re dealing with the 50s, 60s, and 70s. It’s definitely not a complete list. It’s two hours of an altnerate world where noisy bands reign supreme. A world where guitars roar and drums crash. A world where energy is more important than perfect voices and tasteful playing. In other words, Scott’s world. For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Here we are with part two of this month’s new release series, and what do you get? Well, once again it’s a mix of old and new bands of various genres, including rock, punk, power pop, Americana, and indie. There’s a wonderful sampling of releases from our friends at Rum Bar Records, including a couple of tracks from Class Out The Ass, the fabulous new record by Miss Georgia Peach. Guided By Voices are back with yet another new album, and they are joined by the outrageous sounds of Lambrini Girls. The Dirty Nil complain about the internet, while The Jellybricks are outraged by this “Age of Stupid”. Numb Surprise also returns with a lovely cover of “Waterloo Sunset”.  For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

We are back to our usual double dose of monthly new release episodes, with tonight being part one of this month’s series. Like usual, it’s a wide mix of garage, punk, indie, power pop and Americana, highlighted by a great number of artists we like to call “friends of the show”. In fact, the very first track is by a good friend from Rapid City, SD. Tom Whillock is the leader of Toadstool Jamboree, a band that was inducted into the South Dakota Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this past October. In April, he will be putting out a solo album, Dancing in the Diamond Sky, and “Can’t Stop Thinking About” is the first single off that record.

Just like my cover show series, I have another folder where I throw in some tracks that I’ve listened to over the course of my day to day life. They’re primrily the vinyl I’ve either recently acquired or have pulled out of the archives. The Great Hudson Basement Excavation continues to influence these shows, but there’s also plenty of albums that I haven’t thrown on the turntable for quite some time. This show is also inspired by this week’s death of Marianne Faithfull. She lived quite the life. Discovered at a party by Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham, she had a British hit with the Jagger/Richards tune “As Tears Go By”. She famously dated Mick Jagger for a number of years, but had to fight him and Keith to get her share of songwriting credit for “Sister Morphine”. After breaking up with Mick, she had a decade of addiction that saw her homeless for a period of time before coming back with 1979’s hit album Broken English. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, and fans. For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

An old mine holds a ton of secrets, revealed by historian Laura Ahearn.

I’ve always said that I have a folder on my laptop where I toss any great cover version that I encounter, and when that folder is “full” it’s time for an all-covers show. Well, I noticed earlier this week that said folder was close to that level, but I also was made aware that Monday, January 20, was the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s Blood On the Tracks album. Surely, I had a few remakes of tunes from that classic record. Add a handful of Dylan tunes and I was ready. Yet I received another little surprise just a few hours before this week’s broadcast. Our friends at Big Stir Records sent their upcoming Sorrows album. Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow is an unreleased record that the original lineup recorded back in 1981. With the reunited group now signed to the label, it certainly makes sense that Big Stir would let us finally hear this power pop classic!

The last half hour of the broadcast features a sampling from all of the groundbreaking band’s releases on Twin/Tone and A&M Records.  Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the passing of these legends.
