The Mind of Little Rage

I recently came across an article written by The Sportster entitled "10 Tropes That Make No Sense." After reading this article, I found that I agreed with some of the Tropes and disagreed with others. I also felt this would be a great subject for a podcast episode. So here we are. After hearing the Tropes, please let me know what you think. All comments are welcomed.

Over the past several years, there has been a decline in individuals learning how to play instruments. This is especially true with our youth. In this episode I express the importance of our youth learning how to play an instrument or learning to sing. We, as parents and family members must support the youth when they show an interest in learning an instrument and beginning their musical life journey.

This was a challenge for me to share.

I must admit, there is something special about some one like todays guest...ABBY K! She is an individual who has faced adversity within this thing we call "the music business". Through all of that, ABBY K has remained determined and steadfast in her music al journey. This is a woman who has the intestinal fortitude to make a name for herself, not only in the Independent Music Scene, but in all of modern music. This is a fantastic interview with ABBY K. If you are not following this talented musician, you are depriving yourself of some really great music. Also ABBY K shares some big news with us. Do not miss this episode of TMoLR featuring ABBY K!

On this episode of TMoLR, I speak about a video I viewed on YouTube concerning the future of Rock and Metal. I also chat with SoHi about some new and exciting news that is coming from their camp. It is a jam-packed episode of The Mind of Little Rage.

MAXIMUS was one of the very first interviews I was able to bring you on this program. Since then, I have been able to meet Blackie and get to know him. He has an innate sense of integrity when it comes to his music. In the last several months, MAXIMUS has been to hell and back. Now, Blackie has rebuilt MAXIMUS and is getting ready to take on the world once again. If there is one man who can pull this off, it is Blackie Starks. In today's episode, we catch up with Blackie and he fills us in on what is going on with MAXIMUS. 

A bit of nervous energy for this episode. This also marks the debut of the new intro for the show. This episode is just talking about some interesting questions I saw on Twitter earlier today.  Introduction by Shawn Parr    Lead-in Music "Compass" as performed by THE SCHYTEHAWKES

In our musical world, walls are being broken down. Rock and Metal is no longer male dominated. We have seen barriers destroyed by all types of talented people. Today, I get to talk to a band that has faced the stereotypes that defined Hard Rock and Metal for decades. Now, STORMSTRESS is here to melt your face off. Hailing from Boston, Mass, these talented women have a take no prisoners attitude and it shows in their music. STORMSTRESS is comprised of Tanya Venom - Guitar and Vocals, Tia Mayhem - Bass and Vocals, and Maggie May Scott - Drums and Vocals. This band is worth your time and attention.

This first episode of season 7 is over a year-and-a-half in the making. Yvonne Loveland, the Queen of Voodoo Queen Management is my guest today. VQM is what a management company should be. Placing focus on the musicians, and not on herself. Yvonne has become a trusted confidant and friend over the lifespan of this podcast. Yvonne gives us a look into not only VQM, but herself as well. It is full of laughter and downright poignant discussion.  This is  an episode that should be listened to  with open ears. The advise and insight provided by Yvonne is something that can be applied, not only to the music business, but in all business, and life in general.

I get excited when we have a returning guest. On this episode of TMoLR, we have just that. Scott from FALLING INTO RED returns to bring us up to speed on what he has been up to. We also have JACK ROSES making his debut on the show. JACK ROSES is responsible for the Rap portions of the song "Under These Scars" that has appeared on this show several times. Now, we have JACK ROSES solo music to spotlight here as well. It is a little different from what I normally have on the show, but when the music is good...GENRE BE DAMNED!  Songs appearing in this episode: "Under These Scars" as performed by FALLING INTO RED and "RED", "Stonewall" as performed by JACK ROSES
