Orbital & Zola Jesus “New France” Remix EP

Featuring the mesmerizing vocal of L.A goth-soulstress Zola Jesus, New France is a brooding and atmospheric track of epic proportions. As Paul explains, “We came across Zola Jesus, who I’d never heard before but instantly fell in love with – she’s just got the perfect voice for this track. It ended up a poppy goth track, in the vein of Propaganda, which for me is a kind of Holy Grail in terms of all the music that ever really influenced me”.

Aaron Olson Golf: Excel. Develop. Learn.

Here is another professional I met on Twitter… that seems to be a trend for me lately. I have been chatting with this guy online for a while now, and finally had the chance to meet him at the 2012 PGA Merchandise Show. We met at the Brick House Tavern + Tap, started talking, and the time just flew by. We have stayed in close contact since, and I just knew I needed to learn more about him and his career. He is currently at The Raven Golf Club in Phoenix, working with Megan Padua, Jeff Ritter, and Martin Chuck. If there was such a thing as a “dream team” in golf instruction… it would be this.

Brad Real: letters.to.the.editor Album Review

Brad Real has been making a lot of noise around the Circle City. Brad is a local rap artist that spits some of the most honest and meaningful lyrics of any rapper I know. I have said it before, and I will say it again… the thing that impresses me most about Brad is that he doesn’t use profanity in his lyrics. Rap music and profanity usually go hand in hand, and even when I was listening to this album for the first time I was waiting for it. Don’t get me wrong, there are a few thrown in here and there… but not enough to constitute a warning on the front of the disc.
