Well, look who stepped out of retirement and finally put up a podcast?!?!!1

Today's show is a bit different from the norm. For one, I'm only featuring two songs, and I'm straying a little bit outside of the normal genre.

Meet singer/songwriter V.K. Lynne who's new cd Black Halo is now available on CDbaby.

As usual, I ramble on about my boring life and drop the occasional f-bomb. But you guys are used to that now, right?

Hi everyone, sorry for my long absence. I hope you enjoy this show, it features a lot of great music perfect for an evening under the stars.

OH, and FYI - this is not work safe - you know me and my potty mouth!

Ether Aura - Why | Dark, swirling, ethereal goodness from the depths of Detroit. (New album, Crash, available NOW!)

Monster Movie - Waiting | Slowdive veterans capture a definitive moment. (Now offering their previously unavailable mini-album Transistor for a measly $7 including shipping. Buy it!)

Infinity Room - Devil Helicopter Pilot | Introspective rock meets Morrisey's illegitimate children, in Decatur, IL.

Petracovich - Nighttime | Dreamy lo-fi soundscapes provide a lush listening experience. (New album, We Are Wyoming, available NOW!)

Sarah Fimm - Mercury | Enchanting vocals fused with electric grooves.

Halcyon High - Last Breath | Music for goodbyes. (Visit their site to order their FREE cd!)

In a perfect world, I'd put together detailed shownotes with tons of info on each band, links to lyrics and all that jazz. Sadly for you, today is not that day.

Kiddo - This Could Take Forever
Low - California
Elevator Division - Radio
Fruit Bats - Lives of Crime
The Icicles - I Wannna Know
Goodnight City - Move On

Do my vocals sound weird and tinny to anyone in parts of this or is it just me? I'm sure all my settings are the same on my mixer and computer, so maybe it's the room I'm in? Let's hope the mp3 compression hides the worst of it!

Another mini-show that is suspiciously thirty-five mintues long! What's up with that? This week I bring you the music of my friend Jon DeRosa of Aarktica.

Songs:

Nostalgia = Distortion
Alceria
Song for a Free Williamsburg

Hi guys, I've got my hands full this week getting ready to move, so the next couple shows will be a bit short on music. I'll be back to a more music-filled format in about two weeks. :)

Harriet Street - Weary Fountain Pen
Bill - Watercolours
Snow & Voices - Goodnight New York

Recording this show was hell guys. I had some major software issues, some clunky mic noise that couldn't be helped, and I'm still not satisfied with the mic levels. As if that wasn't enough, I sound like have a frog in my throat most of the podcast. Finally, to top it off, my stupid mixer broke seconds after I finished recording! Argh! So the next show will either be delayed by a week, or I'll put the next one out using my crappy headset mic.

That said, this show is definately turned up a notch and features some great indie rock bands:

-Straight No Chaser - Classify Every Compromise
-Atari Champ - Mac
-Loverock Road - Do What You Believe
-Arlo - Culture
-Koufax - Why Bother at All
-Melee - The War
