Today we say the last goodbye to the great banjo player Doug Dillard and one of the Bee Gees – Robin Gibb. Both of them passed away recently and we owe a lot to each of them for the development of rock’n’roll and popular music in general. Other than that, we check out mainly some new singles, eps – short form in general. John Doe and Exene have a new one, recorded with minimal arrangements in the studio. Richard Buckner has a new three-track ep called Willow. And then come the rockers. The Intelligence from Seattle and Nobunny have new 45s. The Paperhead from Nashville sport a lovely Syd Barrett styled single from a split EP with Mikal Cronin (among others). King Khan also splits a 45 with Mikal. Only LP tracks are by the Dillard and Clark and The Beegees today!

Today we continue representing the Vacilando ’68 artists. We have three London based names: Mr. Ron Jetson, a one man band, and two rockin’ bands Thee Spivs and Dear Thief. Very interesting music scene from England and on V’68 roster! Jamie Lawson was an artist that we featured exactly 10 years ago in our show. Today, we hear he has a brand new hit single in Ireland. We check that out. Also, three legendary 80s rockers are back. Exene Cervenka and J. Mascis have new solo albums and REM has a new LP.
