Milwaukee singer, songwriter and guitarist Brett Newski is a globetrotter. No, I don't mean he can dunk a basketball after leaping off a trampoline, though, who knows, maybe he can. He'd surely be willing to try. Newski, whose new disc, "American Folk Armageddon," is top-loaded with chipper, melodic folk rock gems -- part Violent Femmes, part Ben Kweller, part Jonny Polonski -- bought a one-way ticket to Bangkok a couple years ago and hasn't sat still since.
