This week’s main music feature is on singer-songwriter J.D. Stooks, who almost gave up music when the songs that’d always come easily to him stopped appearing.
A tragedy — a friend’s suicide — shook him up enough to start writing again, and thus he has a new album called Shutterbug out.
We’ve also got stories on LA rapper Open Mike Eagle, who explains why so many of his fans of conscientious so-called “alternative” hip-hop are white, and Ree Boado, a singer-songwriter with a ready-for-radio sound and some great songs.
Also look for smaller advances on shows by 311, Death Angel, Sebedoah, and Lucero.
