Looking Up From “The World From My Bed” with Winchester 7 & The Runners
There is something wonderfully strange about “The World From My Bed”. On the surface, Winchester 7 & The Runners have created a song about the modern habit of staying in bed with a phone, a book and the entire world seemingly available through a screen. Yet beneath its laid-back premise sits a much bigger question: what happens when having access to more information than ever before doesn’t necessarily mean understanding the world around us?
The song began with a conversation about how young people consume news and current affairs, particularly through platforms such as TikTok. Rather than turning that observation into another predictable complaint about how everything was supposedly better in the past, Winchester 7 took a more thoughtful route. After all, older forms of media had their own capacity for misinformation, exaggeration and collective panic.

Rediscovering Blind Boone – The Extraordinary Story Behind Kansas City’s Most Ambitious Musical
Some albums arrive with a story attached to them. Others are almost entirely story. Blind Boone: The Musical sits somewhere between the two, taking the remarkable life of John William “Blind” Boone and transforming it into an ambitious song cycle that reaches across ragtime, blues, jazz, funk, rock and musical theatre. Its as much about resurrecting a forgotten musical legacy as it is in telling a compelling story.
John William Boone was born in 1864 in a Union Army camp near Miami, Missouri, the son of an escaped enslaved woman and a Union Army bugler. At only six months old, his eyes were removed during an operation intended to save his life. Yet blindness proved no barrier to an extraordinary musical career. Boone would become a celebrated concert pianist, performing across America from 1880 until 1927 at a time when segregation and institutional racism made the world of concert performance extraordinarily difficult to navigate for African American musicians.
Scribe’s “Five Alive” – Finding Freedom on the Other Side
There is something wonderfully unfashionable about a great power trio. No layers of studio excess to hide behind, no sprawling cast of musicians to dilute the chemistry. Just bass, guitar, drums and three players who have to make every note count.
Northern California’s Scribe understand the challenge, but they also seem to relish it. Their music brings together the muscularity of progressive rock, the immediacy of indie and an eclectic musical vocabulary that stretches from Rush and The Police to jazz, folk, R&B and classical music. On Five Alive, all of that experience is put in the service of something joyful.
