Mar 07 2025 112 mins

It’s that time of the months once again – new release night! And once again, it’s a two part extravaganza! This week features the usual Ledge mix of power pop, punk, garage, and a little trace of Americana! For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

The Ledge #657: The Real Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (Pt. 2)

Feb 28 2025 120 mins

Last week I debuted a new series where The Ledge rights the wrongs of that inept board that handles the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. The previous episode presented artists from the 50s, 60s, and 70s that deserves to be inducted. This week we handle the 80s. Take a look at the 33 artists I present on this broadcast. You can’t deny that this would make the Hall a lot more fun. Im

The Ledge #656: The Real Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

Feb 21 2025 121 mins

A few days ago, the 2025 nominees for The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame were announced. Like usual, there was very little actual rock and roll reflected in their choices. Whatever. Honestly, I’ve stopped caring about that nonsense many, many years ago. It’s a TV show these days. It doesn’t reflect the history of the genre. It’s all about ratings in a time where nothing but the

The Ledge #655: New Releases Pt. 2

Feb 14 2025 113 mins

Here we are with part two of this month’s new release series, and what do you get? Well, once again it’s a mix of old and new bands of various genres, including rock, punk, power pop, Americana, and indie. There’s a wonderful sampling of releases from our friends at Rum Bar Records, including a couple of tracks from Class Out The Ass, the fabulous new record by Miss Georgia P

The Ledge #654: New Releases Pt. 1

Feb 07 2025 117 mins

We are back to our usual double dose of monthly new release episodes, with tonight being part one of this month’s series. Like usual, it’s a wide mix of garage, punk, indie, power pop and Americana, highlighted by a great number of artists we like to call “friends of the show”. In fact, the very first track is by a good friend from Rapid City, SD. Tom Whillock is the lea

The Ledge #653: More Songs From The Hudson Compound

Jan 31 2025 119 mins

Just like my cover show series, I have another folder where I throw in some tracks that I’ve listened to over the course of my day to day life. They’re primrily the vinyl I’ve either recently acquired or have pulled out of the archives. The Great Hudson Basement Excavation continues to influence these shows, but there’s also plenty of albums that I haven’t thrown on the t

The Ledge #652: Covers

Jan 24 2025 120 mins

I’ve always said that I have a folder on my laptop where I toss any great cover version that I encounter, and when that folder is “full” it’s time for an all-covers show. Well, I noticed earlier this week that said folder was close to that level, but I also was made aware that Monday, January 20, was the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s Blood On the Tracks album. Surely

The Ledge #651: Slim & Beej

Jan 17 2025 124 mins

We lost two Minneapolis icons in the last month, and this week’s episode is a tribute to both. After suffering a sever stroke in 2012, Slim held on for well over a decade before passing away on December 18, 2024. Besides a couple of great tributes to the man by The Mad Ripple and The Walk Offs, this episode features music Slim created with Curtiss A, The Replacements, and as a

The Ledge #650: Runners Up

Jan 10 2025 111 mins

Two weeks ago, I unveiled my list of the 40 best albums of 2024. To get to that number, though, I considered over 100 different records that came out over those 12 months. Tonight’s episode is devoted to those records that almost made the list. Just like with that show, there’s a lot of my favorite genres, most notably power pop. There’s two fabulous sets of that type of m

The Ledge #649: New Releases

Jan 03 2025 118 mins

It may be a new year, but it’s the same great formula for the first Friday of the month. Yes, it’s nothing but new releases for the first show of 2025, and it’s highlighted again by what we like to call “friends of the show”. White Rose Motor Oil have yet another great cover. The wonderful two-piece The Ex-Bombers have a magnificent new seven-inch single. Numb Surprise, T
