The biggest news for this week is that Trotsky Icepick has a new single. Actually, the tune is already a bit old, but it popped up for me only recently. The Lemon Twigs now have their new album out. Chris Butler and Ralph Carney recorded an album about odd holidays, shortly prior to Carney’s death. We also check out the new one from the Austin’s White Denim, Lena Loveland from Berlin and Codgers from Detroit. James and The Ultrasounds come from Memphis TN. And we also do a little tribute to Aretha Franklin.
Tonight we check out the new music from Mark Lanegan, who teamed up again with Duke Garwood. We also check out the new song from J Mascis, with another solo effort. Another legend from around that time, Chris Mars, the drummer of The Replacements has a new album, so we check that out as well. ESC Life used to be a touring band for Grant Hart and now they have a new single. Ty Segall, Charles Mootheart and Chris Shaw from Ex Cult are back with their GØGGS. Desert Mountain Tribe are also back with the new album and so is Brian Lisik, but he is from Ohio. We introduce Grex from Oakland, California. Death of Samantha is in our live in Cleveland segment.
Oh! Episode 500 from Cleveland? That’s a lot when you think about it… But, let’s not worry too much about big round numbers and keep on keeping on. We have a new band from Chris Eckman of The Walkabouts, which he formed with Croatian musicians. It’s called The Strange. Jim Lauderdale is back with two new records. One is solo, and the other one is with buddy Roland White. The rest of the stuff today are all new names for us: The Coke Dares from Bloominton IN, Dark Thoughts from Philly, The Black Delta Movement over in Hull, UK and Chris Richards with his Subtractions over in Detroit. We also have Message, a band I know nothing about, but hopefully I find some info in the near future. Ruby Boots is in our Live in Cleveland segment.
