While Alaska’s political noise often steals the spotlight, our own Alternative Rock Trio Static Cycle is rocking our State onto center stage. These guys have become one of my favorite current and local bands!  The music video for “Inside This World of Mine” really brings it all together – Shot in the Chena Hot Springs Ice Museum ads to the electrifying vibe and message of the song, which also features Bristol Palin.

Song writer Navarre say: “When I wrote the lyrics to the single ‘Inside This World Of Mine’ I felt like we were going to be conducting the world through that song,”. “It’s about that point in life when you wake up and have great confidence in yourself, where you’ve broken down all the barriers and nothing can stop you. So thematically, it’s about knowing we’ll never give up on the world,” he adds. “The bridge specifically references Alaska’s weather; I’m drawing a parallel to life.  Alaska’s weather ranges from the blistering cold winter to the beautiful sunshine of the summer.  Likewise, life can seem dark and cold at times but always ends up working out or being ‘summer’ just in time.”

As much as I’m a music guy, Static Cycle taps into my love of lyrics – if you can’t write I’m probably not listening. They’ve already been burning up the music scene nationally, touring up to 14 states last year! If you haven’t see their show, don’t miss out – visit their website staticcycle.com to keep yourself up to date.

Their new album “Hydrate” is now available in iTunes!

Rock on!
Scott

Alaska’s own Emerging Warrior Studios, produced L. Cohen’s “Hallelujah” – performed by Jodi, Alana, & Morgan in North Pole, Alaska. I really liked the music video they produced for this song, if that wasn’t enough wait until you hear the quality of track now available on iTunes!

I’m pretty excited about the music coming out of Alaska, and these girls have set the bar.  I’ve heard this song from various music artists before, but the delivery by Jodi, Alana, & Morgan is moving to say the least. The female trios delivers the lyrics clearly, anchored to a folk-pop driven vibe that leaves me wanting more.

Greetings all!

It’s Scott, and I’ve got a bit of exciting news to share as I write this from my little shack at the base of the Chugach Mountains. As you know – this past April 2010 I released an audio show with the full intentions of turning these out weekly, but an unfortunate turn of events derailed me for the summer.

I’m pleased to say the studio is now up and running!  It feels really good to have a set schedule planned out for the “Alaska with Scott Slone” show, which will be released weekly starting October 1st.

This summer has been amazing on all levels and I can’t wait to share it all with you. I’ve also discovered a pile of great independent music artists both locally and from other corners of the world. So it’s safe to say we’re in for a great time talking, listening to new tunes and interviews!

- – - – Some housekeeping before the show kicks off! – - – -

New Voice Comment Line: (206) 201-2457
Why the (206) area code? Alaska local politics prevent Alaskans from using a local area VOIP (voice over internet protocol) services. The only way for me to get a VOIP number was to choose one through Washington State, which is why the (206) area code.  Why a VOIP number at all you ask? Because the software I use allows me to stream the comments right into a show as I do it.  The good news is everything is in place and working!

Join the conversation!
I hope with the comment line you’ll all call in with comments, suggestions, feedback, requests or even just to say hello!  Unless otherwise specified, I’ll play all comments in show.  If you’d like to leave a comment for the first show, call in before October 1st so I can be sure to get it into the show.

Looking forward to October 1st to kick off a new year here on Alaska HDTV!
Cheers,
Scott
