Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
There's seriously nothing I enjoy more than an hour or two killed in a good record store, but you know, this new-fangled interwebs-thing is pretty good for finding music, too.
A couple weeks ago I read something interesting about a power pop artist named Carl Rusk (of The Nashville Ramblers, featured on the excellent Children of Nuggets box set).
Within two hours, I'd downloaded his masterpiece of a record (Blue Period), listened through, and even sent the man himself a message stating how much I loved it.
This week's installment of Record Heat finds our hero Brad Dwyer enjoying a similar experience, jamming some punk rock from Sierra Vista, Arizona, and indulging in a little existentialism.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
