Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Frank Palangi

I thank you for coming here to celebrate this wonderful day with me. You could be anywhere on the internet right now but you chose to be here with me, to share this special moment - me writing and you reading. I'm all warm and tingly inside right now. I'm so excited to have you here. You're so amazing. Thanks for that. 

"What are we celebrating today and why is this such a wonderful day?", I sense you are asking. And I'll tell you. Every day is wonderful, every day is special, and every day must be celebrated. Don't ask why, just believe me, mkay? Good girl ("patting you on the head"). 

Okay let's get started. 

To be honest with you, you're not gonna like this article very much. I just got back from holiday and everything in the real world now kind of sort of totally sucks ass!! Where are all the tanned, muscular, well hung oiled up men in mankinis bringing me really dirty martinis and rubbing sunscreen on my buttocks? Oops!! I mean my back. Where's all the sunshine? Why is nobody coming to massage me when I ring the bell? Why isn't someone checking to see if I've finished my martini? Where the F* is my chariot? WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON TODAY, HUH?!!!

OMG I'm sorry... 

"Deep breaths, deep breaths..."

I totally almost lost it there, but I'm good now. 

But that's not just why you probably won't like this article.. The other reason is because, like many of the articles I write it's got a lot of sex stuff in it. Well not a lot, but enough to make you cringe a little bit. I've been getting so many complaints from the editors. Some of them even have Cardi B's "Freak" song blaring through their office speakers and are watching Nicki Minaj eat bananas really slowly on MTV while they're telling me that sh*t - can you believe it? What a bunch of hypocrites right?

Many of my readers too complain about the same thing and I tell them plainly, “if you find it disgusting or offensive, just stop reading it!”. Yet time and time again, they come back here with that Britney Spears song “Ooops!! I Did It Again” playing in the back of their minds and they don’t even know it. I never liked the title of that song – seemed like something someone who mistakenly pooped in their pants would say. I’ve been hearing it everywhere I go lately, I think my following must be growing, he-he-he (cha-ching!!). 

Just for the record, I'm a lady okay? I've never eaten a banana, I don't have any tattoos, I always wear a bra and I change my tampons very regularly. I know you feel like you didn't need to know the last part, sorry – you’ll discover why I said it later. 

I met Jay-Z last night after a concert and was about to take a picture with him when he threw up that dirty sign that Millennial boys make with their hands when they are, em ... in the words of Charlie Harper, "barbecuing alone". I jumped back and screamed out loud, "man! get that thing out of the air before one of these nasty teenagers comes over here and tries to put their willie in it or something!". He totally didn't understand and just looked at me like a total weirdo as I backed away quickly and fearfully, looking around frantically like I had just seen a ghost or something. I admit I overreacted a little bit. It's just that I have nightmares about Millennials all the time and they never end well. As I backed away with my hands frantically feeling around behind me to make sure I didn't bump into anything, I bumped into Beyoncé and my hand mistakenly felt around her crotch area. I apologised and left quickly. I'm not gay, but I totally didn't hate that last part at all...

Okay I loved it alright?! It was Beyoncé for God's sake. Sue me!! 

At this point I can sense that you have become curious. You've put your hands in the air like Jay does and then gradually moved it towards your crotch area and made a jerking back and forth motion or two to try to get the picture. I can also sense that you've got a smile on your face now, you can't believe you just did that and are looking around to make sure no one saw you. You are slightly disgusted and embarrassed that you entertained the idea, but you totally get it now. Remember those guys at the gym that had one arm that looked like Popeye after he had eaten spinach and the other arm that looked like it needed work? Yep, they'd been doing it wrong all along. You don't see many of them around anymore do you? Why do you think that is so? They've been listening to Jay-z - They know! Now you know too. I had to find out the hard way after walking in on one of my interns while he was practicing the same technique late at the office one night when he thought everyone had gone home. And no, he doesn't work here anymore. Consider yourself lucky to have learned about it the easy way, by me telling you. You're welcome! 

See? I’m not all bad. You might think I’m rambling about disgusting things sometimes but there is always a moral of the story (or two) written down on a piece of paper in front of me when I write and they will reveal themselves when you least expect it. Would you like to know what is written down on the piece of paper in front of me today? Of course you do. And I’ll tell you. I’ve got a blue sticky note in front of me. The text on the sticky note reads, “A man without a smile shouldn’t open a shop”. And it’s got a smiley face at the bottom of it. It's a saying Chinese people say. It sounds better in Chinese. (Coming to think of it, it seems like everything sounds better in Chinese. Hmn... 🤔)

To cut a long story short, my goal today was to make you smile so that you can attract prosperity and all the good things you deserve so much because you're so awesome. I think you did when you put Jay’s sign in your crotch and imagined you were a teenage boy who just logged onto Pornhub after a hard day's work swiping and double tapping and doing dirty things with strangers all over the neighbourhood with Tinder. But guess what? There’s a second sticky note underneath. I won’t tell you what’s written on it yet, or if in fact there is anything written on it. Oh by the way, did you know what that sign Jay-z makes with his hands means? Of course you do, but I’ll tell you anyway – it’s the all-seeing eye, the third eye. If you didn’t know, well now you know. Too bad I just told you what Millennials are doing with it – now every time you go into alpha mode you’d have to first annihilate any notorious imaginings of horny teenagers trying to stick their willies in your eye ‘cos they’ve run out of good places to put it, he-he-he. Oops!! Sorry.

Anyway where were we?

Ah yes, the independent music news story of the day. I know – finally, right?

After just over a year since the release of his latest record - the critically acclaimed self-titled 6 track EP, Frank Palangi V; New York independent solo rock sensation Frank Palangi has announced the release date of his next project. In this new age of the music industry when fans start to desperately crave new music by their favourite artist as little as a day after new music by their favourite artist is released, it is very welcome news.  One year is a very long time to wait for a new record nowadays, in fact it almost feels like it’s been ten years.  I’ve been following this story closely and checking my emails for updates so long that I started to hear that rock anthem “I Predict a Riot” by Kaiser Cheifs playing in the back of my head every time I checked and found nothing. Are music fans getting too aggressive with their insatiable desires for louder sounds and demands for new music? Do you feel like they are the ones destroying the music industry? To be honest with you, I think so; but who am I to judge? I am old school, I only want good music, not just any music. That’s why I follow Frank and I never listen to Kanye West. Well now you know, there’s a new track on the way – you’re happy, I’m happy, everybody wins. Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy! The new song, which is titled “Fall From Grace” is scheduled for release around the end of March and will be available to pre-save and pre-order on Spotify and Apple Music two weeks before the official release date. The specific dates will be provided as they become available. 

Now, would you like to know what was written on that second sticky note I spoke of earlier on in the article? Of course you do. And here it goes: “good things come to those who wait”. I know, “WTF” right? All this knowledge in one day, sheesh!!!

But seriously, I’m not just telling you that because you were patient and got the good news about the new independent rock release you’d been waiting for. I’m telling you this for a bigger purpose. Sometime during the course of your day, week or even month; maybe even later in the year, you’ll be presented with a crucial opportunity to exercise patience. You’ll be ready because I've prepared you, and you’ll get that thing you’ve been asking for. Your third eye - your all-seeing eye, asked me to send you this message. 

And oh, lest I forget - I didn’t really meet Jay-z and Beyoncé last night. It was a group of new (but really good) rappers I met that for some reason decided to throw up the sign. I’ve never met Jay-z, but I knew you'd get the picture quicker if I said it was him. 

I need to change my tampon now. Oops!! I mean powder my nose. All this talk about Beyoncé has got me soaked to be honest. I'm not gay I promise. My favourite Beyoncé Christmas song is "Put a Sock On It", that's totally not gay. 

 Have a wonderful day.

Music industry update | Wisconsin, USA | Indie band, The Last Bees

The Covid 19 pandemic made everything so difficult. Over the past year, even the simplest of tasks have seemed almost impossible. Music fans saw their favorite artists and bands disappear into thin air as if never to be seen again. Gladly, the music industry is now slowly getting back up to speed once again, as is everything else. Music venues and recording studios are opening up and musicians are getting back to work in full force again. Wisconsin, US indie rock sensation The Last Bees have just announced that they are working on a new project. Drum tracking for the new music has started and frontman Ian Ash posted a pic on Instagram from the studio to let fans know it’s really happening.

Music industry update | Seoul, South Korea | Indie band, Love X Stereo


Rebels are often regarded as notorious, but sometimes they are simply ballzy individuals who are not afraid to push boundaries and break rules that were made to be broken, every now and again, or all the time. Dresses are awesome when they are worn correctly, and even more awesome when they are taken off, correctly - in fact, many would argue that what’s underneath is often more exciting than the dress itself most of the time if it's done right. “Rebel Dress” is the forthcoming single by critically acclaimed Korean trio turned duo, Love X Stereo, who know all about breaking music stereotypes and pushing boundaries; and they do it correctly every single time. They recently announced that the record is now in the final stages of production and that the release date will be scheduled shortly. If you like music that is just as futuristic as it is old-school then you’ll love these guys. If you know them already then you are probably already biting your nails frantically and itching for the track. Official release date, sneak previews, behind the scenes clips and more will be provided as they become available. All this talk about rebels and dresses has inspired the creation of a new riddle for you to play with while you are waiting for what is being predicted to be one of the award-winning independent band's most sensational record to date. Here it goes –

Music industry update | Mississippi, USA | Indie artist, Coolidge

The pandemic came with a lot of problems, but it also opened our eyes up to a lot of things we wouldn't ordinarily have paid any attention to before. Like not looking your girlfriend in the eyes during sex for a whole year, because you've vowed to only do it doggie style till she's fully vaxed obviously (not because you hate her guts but love that booty too much to quit it); then she can go back to spitting on your cock and all that amazing stuff you love - you filthy, filthy boy). Like finding out what it really feels like to drink at home alone on a Friday night and save all your hard earned money - not amazing at all ey? even with all the extra money in your pockets; just as you suspected. Like taking an actual walk because there is absolutely nowhere to go. Like finally not having to feel guilty for not shaking peoples' filthy hands (because lord knows what they've been doing with them - whether they washed them after or not; yuk, yuk, yuk). Like watching the news and actually being concerned about what's going on in your community, and actually feeling like it directly affects you, not just the crazy people around that are not woke, untouchable and awesome like you. Like walking into the bank wearing a mask and gloves and not being tackled to the ground immediately, whether you brought your gun or not. Most importantly, you got to experience what it's like to have no friends - and no, friends can't kiss (Eddie Murphy was totally lying) - real friends. But enough about what you learned, this is not about you. 

Musicians have used these unprecedented times and the surplus of available (not spare) time that came with it to explore new avenues, dig deeper into the depths of their musical abilities and work on more projects than ever before simultaneously. Even before the pandemic, Mississippi rapper Drevo Coolidge's music catalog was growing at an alarming rate and doing things to fans’ ears that no other rapper had done before. He continued to release music during the pandemic and is still releasing music just as regularly. This week, on the 13th of August, he unveiled his latest project, a new album titled “Book of Drevo” exclusively on LÜM Music.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Frank Palangi

Even with everything that has been going on in the world over the past year, independent New York solo rock sensation Frank Palangi has been busy doing all the amazing things fans fell in love with him for, and a whole lot of new things. The pandemic closed a lot of doors for musicians, but for the resourceful, open-minded and, well, the lucky ones, it also opened a lot of doors. Frank is evidently all three. From new web series and online initiatives to production services, tutoring, new records, and of course online gigs, he seems to be doing more than he has ever done throughout the 7 plus years of his illustrious indie music career - which have been pretty busy to say the least, and everyday now seems to get almost exponentially more exciting than the last for fans because there’s no telling what could happen. The Brooklyn star just announced a series of release dates for some upcoming projects he has been working on and recently completed. His new ringtone “Fire Of Love” has been scheduled for release on Apple Music and iTunes on the 11th of June with pre-orders starting just over 3 weeks prior on the 21st of May. The official track “Fire Of Love” goes live for pre-order and pre-save on Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify on the 28th of May ahead of its official release on all digital music streaming and download platforms worldwide on the 25th of June.

Music industry update | New Hampshire, USA | Indie artist, Eyenine

The music industry, and the world as a whole is slowly but surely emerging from the shadows, as if from hibernation, as 2020 goes further into the past; lockdown restrictions are tentatively eased; and Coronavirus vaccines are rolled out one vulnerable age group at a time from the top down. Everything is slowly getting back up to speed here as well, and all the amazing independent and underground musicians and bands we know and love so much are emerging with new projects and amazing tunes they’ve been working on during the course of lockdown. They've all been nothing short of spectacular so far. 

This week, New Hampshire, US underground hip hop star and battle rap champ Eyenine emerged with news about a new music video in the works. For anyone who knows about the Dover sensation this is big news, not only because he is so amazing on the microphone but because he is so creatively masterful that when visuals come into the picture his works become nothing short of masterpieces that will be frozen in time as future hip hop classics in a category of their own somewhere between the reincarnation of hip hop and its 9th death. So what’s this music video then? Well, there hasn’t been any word about whether it’s a new track or a video of something already released but we’ve got a few pictures from the first night of the video shoot below (and above). Think you can guess what it is? Tweet @SkunkRadioLive. Full details about the video, behind the scenes clips, release dates and streaming availability will be provided here as they emerge.

Music industry update | Wisconsin, USA | Indie artist, Daiyon

Wisconsin rapper, Daiyon’s forthcoming album, “Famous Yet” has been a long time in the making. After a long wait, it was finally scheduled for release this year along with a second album which was to follow shortly after, but this week he announced that its release date had to be postponed till sometime in 2021. In a social media post he told fans he was advised to do so by ‘90s rapper, and one of the pioneers of hip hop, MC Hammer. This of course raised speculations about whether the 3-time Grammy award winner, known as the forefather of pop-rap and one of the best dancers in hip hop, would feature on the album. Although disappointing, it hasn’t come as a surprise owing to the current Coronavirus crisis, which has brought the music and entertainment industries to a halt and left many fearing for their careers.

Music industry update | California, USA | Indie artist, Crystal Starr (pictured right-center) and Paul Stanley (pictured left-center)

He’s the chief songwriter and the driving force behind the iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll band, KISS, and arguably one of the most recognizable frontmen in rock music, but after 45 years in the music industry, Paul Stanley still prefers to live his life away from the spotlight. She’s one of the most exciting new female R&B artists to emerge from the West Coast of the United States in several decades, with a sophisticated sound that merges retro-pop, Rhythm and Blues, and soul in ways words can’t describe sometimes, and Crystal Starr shines brightly in the spotlight every time she gets in front of a microphone and long after she steps away from it. Just over 6 months after the release of her critically acclaimed single “Goodie Two Shoes”, a song that marked a career high that had been a long time coming back in May, Crystal has emerged with news that she’s joined forces to record an album under the Universal Music imprint with KISS frontman Paul Stanley and his new ensemble, Soul Station, which is reported to consist of at least seventeen musicians. According to Starr, they have already shot five music videos for the album. Release dates and further information about the project will be provided as they emerge.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie artist, Tamara Bubble

Making her debut as an R&B singer a few years ago, New York’s Tamara Bubble evolved progressively one track at a time and after a sudden change in performance style a couple of years into her career became one of the most successful emerging female rap artists on the East Coast of the United States. Through high profile licensed music placements on popular television networks like BET, HBO and MTV, in popular shows like “Insecure”, “Hustle In Brooklyn” and “A Black Lady Sketch Show”, her music has reached and continues to reach larger audiences than ever before thought possible for an independent artist completely independently, and the new found reach is seeing to it that she is now being looked upon as Brooklyn’s next big rap star more so than ever before. Only a few months since the success of her latest project, “Your Favorite Rapper Is A Girl 2”, the Brooklyn rap sensation has announced that her next big project is now in the final stages of production and due out in stores soon.

Music industry update | New York, USA | Indie singer songwriter, Robert Leslie

Critically acclaimed New York based Londoner, Robert Leslie has been hailed as one of the most exciting new folk singer songwriters to emerge from the East Coast of the US in at least two decades. His songs, a highly melancholic and intoxicating mix of simple melodies and deeply moving stories about the struggles of life, have brought joy and remain close to the hearts of many not just because of the exceptional songwriting and virtuosic performances offered, but for the mare fact that artists are not making as relatable songs that accurately reflect the struggles of everyday life anymore. He is being looked upon as New York’s next big folk music star, and this week he announced that he has completed his next album. Release date, distribution information and availability will be provided as they become available.
