Milwaukee musicians lend support for childhood cancer
In January, the Milwaukee music scene joins together to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer at The Pablove Benefit Concert. Including sets from Fever Marlene, The Gufs, The Lackloves, Maritime, Mike Benign, Old Man Malcom, Pet Engine, and Truth in Fiction, the show pays homage to Milwaukee native Jeff Castelaz and the fight his son Pablo waged against cancer.

CD battles childhood cancer ... Milwaukee take note
"Give Listen Help" is a double-disc set of CDs featuring rare tracks by the likes of The Decemberists, Radiohead, Oasis and more. It helps the Pablove Foundation and Childrens Hospital Los Angeles cure children's cancer. And, sadly, there's a Milwaukee connection.

Captured by The Kooks
My friend and former Citizen King manager Jeff Castelaz sent me a copy of the first disc by British rockers The Kooks a couple years ago. Now, the band's second disc has me going ga-ga.
