Today we open with a new single for a Melbourne band The Prize. Then we go to Sweden where we check out the new name for us, Finnjavlar. Then we dive into a Blue Arrow Records block with tunes for their new releases by Stutter Steps and The Wind-Ups. Legendary California bands Trotsky Icepick and Rain Parade are back with new tunes. And so is Chris Stamey, legendary founder of The dBs. Natural Child from Nashville are back with a new album. We have a special treat for Guided By Voices fans. They have a new album out and their former member Tobin Sprout has a record of previously unreleased tunes. We hear these two tunes as if they came out together on an album, together with signature low fi and tape dropouts characteristic for the early GBV albums. We close the show with a tribute to Robbie Robertson who passed away on August 9th at the age of 80.
