This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
EPISODE 076 (which is a little behind its bi-weekly schedule, sorry, I've been moving towns) kicks off with some summer time musings from Jonathan Richman and before things close out with Beach House floating thru your headphones, you'll hear some great tunes from Mutual Benefit, Howard Tate, Lomelda, and a bunch more.
“Simply amazing, the sweet melodic tones gives out a very chill vibe and dreamy affect with every note played.”
EPISODE 074 kicks off with the excellent Horse Teeth, and before things close out with a stone cold beauty from Mothers, you'll hear: something off the latest Frankie Cosmos album, some oldies from Peter Green and Link Wray, a taste from the upcoming Andy Shauf album, plus a bunch more good stuff.
“Summer is pretty much over, which makes me sad—which I guess also makes me the target market for this lovely comp.”
“Pixar-esque scenes kept flashing in my head. So much so, I think I might've storyboarded a new Disney film. Somebody get me John Lasseter on the phone!”
“Piano and Cello accompany an unmistakably Finks-style song, funny and poignant, emotionally engaging, great arrangement and recording. I love it.”
“Before listening to this album, I never once thought to myself “have Neil Young & Daft Punk ever been seen in the same room at the same time?”. Now it is all I can think of.”
“Reggae is Jamaican gospel music and, like me, you probably don't listen to enough of it. So, if your local congregation is a white flocks with a zero dread count, just start worshipping at home with albums like this.”
EPISODE 67 kicks off with some old skool Bobbie Gentry (who I've been listening to thanks to Season 2 of Fargo) and before things close out with American “hey… is that the guy from Car Seat Headrest?” Holly, you'll hear ace tunes from Twerps, Joan Shelley, Matthew E White + a handful more makers of tasty ear candy.
“Strangers is an evolution of what has come before but the core of what draws the listener in is still there, unchanged.”
“Lazer Fight Through Space + Seinfeld Bassline + Speaker 'Bout To Pop + Don’t Tell Me To Don't Touch The Dial + Arcade End Credits = Excellent Music For Hitting The Exercise Bike Extra Hard.”
EPISODE 084 kicks off with something from Okkervil River's excellent new album, and before things close out with something from A Singer Of Songs excellent new album you'll hear a bunch of other tracks off excellent new albums.
