The price of two turtle doves jumped from $290 to $375 this year, but nine of the other 12 gifts listed in the carol stayed the same price or became cheaper, including a partridge in a pear tree, according to ....

If I had to pick an ultimate Milwaukee music memory since I moved back to town in 2013, it wouldn’t be a sold-out record release show. It wouldn't be a game-changing music video shoot. It wouldn't be an epic house jam.
It would be the morning of Saturday, February 28, 2015. The night before, my girlfriend and I had been running around Bay View at the inaugural Arte Para Tod....

The late 1980s and early 1990s is considered the golden era of hip-hop, when jazz and soul laid a sonic foundation for boom bap beats and clever wordsmiths. In the last decade hip-hop has drawn influence from electronic music, veering into abstract melodic territory.

The music scene in the United States experienced a significant change in direction in the early ’90s, with the glitz and glam of the ’80s giving way to a do-it-yourself punk-rock ethic. Many artists began to embrace a more raw, real, experimental approach to their music — both sonically and lyrically.

Brett Newski’s latest album arrives Stateside
When I was in my mid-20s I liked to think of myself as a nomad. After college I lived, worked and traveled in Europe for a year before moving to Canada for grad school. The next three years I lived in Montreal, traveled across Canada, and held a writing residency on a farm in Oregon between stints at my parents caring for elderly relatives and in Mi....

At the end of the summer I noticed an article by Tarik Moody of 88Nine Radio Milwaukee promoting a three-track EP — Gravity — by a producer named Thane. As soon as I heard Thane’s soulful blend of jazz, electronic, hip-hop and R&B I was in awe.
