Look out for Jordan Topf aka WINDSER and the track Real Life. For Fans of Matt Maeson – alternative/indie rock. I hope these artists find a place in popular culture again or maybe culture will find them.

Knoxville’s WMYL radio station put Morgan Wallen back in rotation. How did it happen? Well, the radio station polled its listeners and 92% wanted the rising country star back on radio.
“We were disappointed by the behavior in the video,” said the station owner Ron Meredith. “But we were also uncomfortable with sitting in judgment.”
Morgan Wallen’s mother also spoke out agains the media mob.
“CPAC is playing Morgan Wallen, they don’t hold to Cancel Culture. I stand with Morgan Wallen, who made a mistake and is paying dearly for it,” Wallen’s mom said. “Country Music Associations, businesses, radio stations, and agencies, stop using him as a pawn. Forgiveness and love is needed on all sides, not hate. Hate produces more hate. This isn’t solving problems. Your round table discussions are not solving problems.”
She went to say:
“Get out in neighborhoods and help your children and youth of all colors that are suffering,” “Educate, mentor, love. Blexitfoundation.org.”
Regardless of the ban, Wallen’s album sales and streams have skyrocketed.
Kate Plaisted aka Girl in the Garden just dropped the fun mid-tempo song Lose My Mind. I really like the disco pop song and fans of Benee and Dua Lipa and will love this. The Idaho native and Eagle resident made her rounds at NBC’s The Voice and American Idol before. She is currently studying music at the University of Miami. Give the track a stream on KOAR’s Indie Invaders.
The New York pop rock trio Running Lights release Not The One. You’ll love if you’re a fan of 80’s pop.
