You read a lot of claptrap about humble beginnings, but the pure truth of the matter is that The Sundog Organ Trio had its genesis in a trip to the town dump. Mattapoisett musician Colin Bradley had always had a hankering for an organ, especially one of those big Hammond B-3s. One day a friend called him with a hot tip, that he’d just seen such an instrument at the town dump.
“I didn’t live too far away, so I went right over there,” said Bradley last week. “It was absolutely beautiful, and in good condition, a 1958 Hammond just what I’d always wanted. I loaded it into the back of my Volkswagen, with the back door hanging open, and brought it home. Then I brought it to a guy who specializes in repairing those, and we got it into playing shape. That was six years ago.”

Britney Spears Predicted The Disco Revival With “Anticipating”
Dua Lipa and
Jessie Ware and
Miley Cyrus, every diva worthy of a gay following has ventured under the mirror ball. However, one visionary beat them to it by 19 years. Of course, I’m talking about the legendary
Britney Spears. At a time when slick bubblegum pop and full-bodied R&B was king, the 39-year-old dabbled in disco on “Anticipating” one of the true gems on Britney’s 2001 self-titled LP.
Co-written with
Brian Kierulf and
Josh Schwartz, “Anticipating” is a soft and sensual bop about the butterflies that precede a big night out. “Top down, on the strip, looking in the mirror and I’m checking out my lipstick,” Britney begins the song over bubbly, disco-tinged production. “Girlfriends up in the back, we’re out for an all night.” That leads us to an unforgettable chorus. “I’ll be anticipating, this is our song they’re playing,” the pop icon coos. “I wanna rock with you
