Summer’s knocking on our door, and we present three new things this week. Howe Gelb of Giant Sand is back with a new album of songs inspired by gypsy music from Cordoba is Spain. His new band is called Band of Gypsies and album is called Alegrias. Remember the great tribute to Roky Erickson back in 1990 called Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye? Well, there’s another tribute to Roky out there twenty years after called The Psychedelic Sounds Of The Sonic Cathedral. All The Saints who we loved two years ago with their album Fire On Corridor X are on that tribute, which makes us search for the new info on them. Their new album is recorded and will be out soon and on their myspace page, we found a song that’s been unreleased so far…

Check out our bonuses, we have four new updates. Things piled up since I didn’t get a chance to update last week.
Everybody already knows quite well that The Rolling Stones famous album Exile on Main Street has recently been reissued in a luxurious remastered new edition. It indeed sounds great, and much of today’s show is dedicated to this album. We also take some time to hear some new stuff. Super-trio Dirtmusic which consists of Chris Eckman, Hugo Race and Chris Brokaw has a second album called BKO. We also have a new name for the first time. His name is James Jackson Toth AKA Wooden Wand.
Today we say goodbye to Dennis Hopper – a Hollywood rebel for a reason, actor and director. His best known legacy is Easy Rider astonishing road epic that he directed, co-wrote and co-starred. This movie somehow sneaked into the foundation of what we know now as rock’n’roll. But my favorite movie that Hopper directed was Hot Spot. We interleave music from these two movies throughout the show. Besides that, we also play the new music made by David Hidalgo and Louie Perez of Los Lobos. We also have two new bands for the first time at show. Hornet Leg from Portland, OR and Apache from San Francisco. Both bands are represented with their records that actually came out some time ago, but we didn’t get a chance to present them until now.
