It’s easy to hear Steve Miller Band and think of maybe one or two hits and sort of disregard them within music history. But in reality, these guys are everywhere. They have so many hits (some of which you might not even realize are them) and their music has played such a major role in music, movies, TV and commercials. Fly Like an Eagle today for less than $7.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: R.E.M.
R.E.M. is one of those bands where maybe you feel you don’t know them, or only know the hits, but then you realize how many songs you can sing along to. This definitely isn’t your parent’s version of R.E.M. If you’re accustomed to what you heard on previous records, this is a major departure—and not in a bad way!
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Taylor Swift
Fearless spawned five radio singles and has sold over 20 million copies to date. Not only that, but Swift has the distinction of being the youngest artist in history to have a year’s best-selling record, plus Fearless is the most awarded album in the history of country music. With credentials like that, it's worth taking a listen.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Neil Diamond
Today’s featured artist is summed up in many circles simply by “BA-BA-BA!” Whether you’re at your favorite sports stadium, the local pub or at the grocery store, you hear his music regularly and can’t seem to help but sing along.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Offspring
At a time in music history when things were about to drastically change, Offspring was right there as one of the bands leading the charge. The album didn’t really take off immediately, but in July the single “Come Out And Play” hit major radio. The album would end up peaking at #4 on the Billboard 200 and multiple singles would come in toward the top of the charts for 20 plus weeks.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Wings
When an iconic band decides to call it quits, you would typically think that’s nothing but a negative for music fans. However, sometimes a phoenix arises from the ashes—in this case a group not quite as iconic, but still gets the toes tapping. Today’s band came from The Beatles break up, so obviously it had big shoes to fill.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: The Police
No doubt your Tuesday will be so lonely without some tunes in your life, so why not grab hold of one of the iconic British bands in history? For the low price of $6.99, the red light of deals is going off!
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Jimmy Buffett
If you like country, folk rock, pop, or simply being on an island, Jimmy Buffett has something for you. This is a great place to start in his catalog if you haven’t listened to one start to finish before. And for $7 bucks, how can you beat that?
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Garth Brooks
While he was discovered nearly immediately, it took Troyal Brooks a couple years to decide to go by Garth and make the move to Nashville. His first album dropped in 1989 to significant acclaim—but it was his second record, No Fences that really put him on the map.
Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Elvis
It released in 1957, only one year after his debut record. The idea was to put out a mostly Christmas, but also gospel themed record to see how it would perform. The result is what is now the highest-selling Christmas album of all time.
TDS Telecom (TDS®) is proud to take part in the 14th annual FCI Art Show & Auction for the Middleton Outreach Ministry (MOM), which serves West Madison, Middleton, and Cross Plains. TDS donated 24 antique phones ranging from wooden crank phones to rotary phones as well as collector plates. The Madison-based telecommunications company purchased the collection from the family of former TDS Telecom associate and MOM Executive Director Al Ripp who passed away unexpectedly in 2017.
“Al was an incredible person whose passion for the telecommunications industry and its history was only surpassed by his desire to help others,” said TDS President and CEO Jim Butman. “It seems fitting that his phones will raise money for a cause that he cared so deeply about.”
Ripp was an associate at TDS for 37 years and took the helm of MOM shortly after his retirement. When MOM wrote about his sudden death four years ago on its website, the organization called Ripp, “Mr. Middleton. The very best of the community. The right Dad for MOM. Role model. A community hero, and friend.”
“Al was a valued associate at TDS; people remember him as a compassionate and caring person,” said Butman. “This donation allows his legacy to live on, and for more charitable works to be done in his name. We encourage everyone to explore all of the antiques and artwork in this auction.”
Online bidding for the FCI Art & Auction begins Oct. 9. The in-person event occurs Thursday, Oct. 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at FCI, 2551 Parmenter Street, Middleton. All proceeds will benefit MOM’s effort to prevent homelessness and end hunger.
