Make A Jazz Noise Here: Burn, Baby, Burn

So you got you playlist on the radio. You put in a lot of time and effort. And then they changed it. So you get your hands on some gasoline, light a match and burn the place down.

A volunteer at a community radio station set fire to the station because he was upset that his song selections for an overnight Internet broadcast were changed, police said.
(...) Station president Andrew Dickens said Feinstein had been in a dispute with another volunteer about what kind of music should be put into a digital library for the Internet program.
Feinstein was a jazz fan and his Internet program was called "Mellow Down Easy," Dickens said.

Astra Heights: Good Problems

Astra Heights

Four brothers and an "honorary" brother are in the line-up of Los Angeles band Astra Heights. These guys are all about the melody, name checking the Small Faces and the Zombies as their influences. Lead singer Mark Morales obviously listened to a lot of seventies Bowie. He even tries to adopt an English accent. Let's just hope that the Eaglesque The Whole World Changes is a mistake that they won't make again.

Astra Heights:
Mark Morales: lead vocals, rhythm guitar
James Morales: vocals, bass guitar
Joshua Morales: vocals, drums
Timothy Morales: vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboard
Bernard Yin: vocals, lead guitar
