Faye HunterSad news today. The news comes to us that Faye Hunter, bass player and a founding member of the legendary college rock band Let’s Active passed away this year on July 20th. Those that know her personally felt very deeply for her. Others, like myself, who know her through her music and work with Let’s Active remember her songs as highlights on those records. We also check out the new band for Josh Martin from Carbonas called Shocked Minds who have a new record on Hozac. Two Boston veterans are featured today as well. Bill Janovitz from Buffalo Tom has a new solo record and Ben Deily of the Lemonheads has a new 7″ with his most recent band Varisty Drag. Finally, Delbert McClinton and Glen Clark reunite after 40 years for another duet record, and we check that out at the end of the show.

Buffalo TomBuffalo Tom were one of my favorite bands in the grunge boom that deservingly had a taste of success in the first part of the nineties. They were on hiatus for awhile, just to return with an overlooked, but very nice album Three Easy Pieces in 2007. They sounded like the time stood still. The new album is scheduled later this year and while we wait for it, they offered a free EP on their website. We also have Tomaz Pengov, an immensely talented singer-songwriter from Ljubljana who made in 1973 one of the greatest LPs in Yugoslavia. He is back with a collection of oddities, outtakes and recitations entitled Drevo in zvezda. The CD is accompanied with a book as well. Another singer-songwriter, Kurt Vile is also here with a new album. He currently gets a lot of praise for his work. And for something completely different, we also have a brand new single for Personal And The Pizzas.
