Jonathan Richman has a new single with our sponsor The Blue Arrow Records and we check it out. Also, we hear the new singles from Eamon McGrath and Low Cut Connie. Two bands share a split EP, Remedy from Austria and ESC Life from Croatia. ESC Life used to be a backing band for Grant Hart when he did a tour in Europe a few years ago. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard continue their hyper-production with yet another new album which they call Polygondwanaland. Our show today is dedicated to the drummer of Flesh Eaters, Christian Free who used to be a part of their 90s line up and passed away last week. Also Kak Channthy of The Cambodian Space Project got killed in a car accident last week. We didn’t play this band before, but it’s still important to pay respect to this spectacularly interesting singer-songwriter.
Today we check out the new stuff from the legendary Greg Dulli and his Afghan Whigs. Also Low Cut Connie have a new single that announces a record coming out soon. San Mikulec from Zagreb, Croatia who we know most notably from Sloming Moops has a new project called Van Klokan Band. Aaron Lee Tasjan from Drivin N Cryin has a cool solo album.

Ok, so 2017 is ready to start! We are going to be listening to some new music that arrived during the winter break in which we explored what happened in 2016. We have the new record from the Two Cow Garage of Columbus. We introduce Babaganouj from Australia who are on that wonderful Smudge tribute. Chelle Rose is back with the new record recorded over in Austin TX with Ray Wylie Hubbard. Deniz Tek from Radio Birdman is also back with the new album. We also introduce the new band by Danny from Low Cut Connie – Swampmeat, new music from San Mikulec and his Sloming Moops and hard rockers The Skull.
Today we start off with the new Dinosaur JR album that they call Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not. Then, Low Cut Connie stopped by Cleveland on August 26th and played some brand new songs from the upcoming album. Death Lens come from LA and they play a tune from their new album Fuck This. Surinam come from Toronto and Thee Oh Sees from San Francisco continue their furious discography with another new record.
