This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
EPISODE 087 kicks off with an unfortunately always politically relevant Todd Snider song, and before things close out with a new one from The Radio Dept, you'll hear Leonard Cohen, La Luz, Hiss Golden Messenger, and a bunch more.
As Shakespeare once said… “That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet; so Cotton Jones would, were he not Cotton Jones call'd, retain that dear perfection."
“I went from imagining this album pushing that Lou Reed + Metallica collaboration into the lockers, to them all sharing a cig behind the bleachers.”
EPISODE 085 kicks off with Bowerbirds being overcome with light, and before things close out with Kevin Devine's damn dad, you'll hear some new stuff from William Ryan Fritch, some old stuff from Billy Joe Shaver, Deer Scout, Dr. Dog, and more.
“I had never heard of The Album Leaf before hearing the title track on the latest Relapse Sampler. And now I'm here. As always, I'm late to the game, but I'm glad to have randomly discovered this amazing album.”
“Before you splurge on Couple Counselling, grab a bottle of the finest red in your price bracket & let this album do it's thang. You've gotta wonder if make-up sex even existed before this album, but that would require asking your grandparents, so it's probably best to leave it be.”
“So yeah, buy a bike. Ride it through the city at night, for an even bigger kick. Oh and eat whatever the hell you want to eat, you're wonderful.”
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.”
“Things I recommend:Root beer floats. Believing in the Loch Ness Monster. Dogs. Going on walks. Drawing. Salt and Vinegar Chips. Super Smash Bros. Ice Cream. Jean Shorts.”
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.
