Ty Segall is back with the new record and so is Mark Sultan. Other than those two fantastic comebacks, we have a few new introductions. Sex Organs are two people dressed as – you guessed it – male and female sex organs costumes. Becky Warren is a new singer-songwriter from Nashville. TOY are a quartet from England and Charlie Faye and the Fayettes are three ladies. Besides Charlie, BettySoo is also there as well as Akina Adderley. Finally, Jason Simon from Old Testament is here with his first solo album. We also hear Stray Trolleys that were active back in 1982 with some cassettes, now available digitally.

Secret star of this episode is Neil Young. Two of his songs recently saw inspiring covers. Kent State murders are having a 45 year anniversary this year. Neil wrote a song about the event and this year, Cleveland band Obnox recorded a cover. A totally different sounding Colleen Rennison’s new album is named after a Neil Young song See The Sky About To Rain from On The Beach. King Khan is very active these days. After his album with Gris Gris, he reunited with Mark Sultan in a new duet Bad News Boys. We also have Miriam Linna, once a member of Cramps and nowadays boss of Norton Records. She’s back into the “business” as a performer and has a solo album Nobody’s Baby. Howlin’ Rain led by Ethan Miller also has a new album Mansion Songs.
Today’s show is filled with new records from the garage rock scene. Mark Sultan has two new records out Whatever I Want and Whenever I Want. King Louie is back after three years of silence with the new band called Missing Monuments. Rain Bonnets have yet another EP out. Indie legend from London Nick Saloman is back with another Bevis Frond record, his 23rd since 1987, but the first one since 2004. His longest break yet. The Bats from New Zealand are back as well. But the most anticipated return this year is definitely Tom Waits…
