Those who like Heroin by Velvet Underground will find this episode interesting. We have two tunes that sound like it and two versions of the very song. Burnt Ones from San Francisco have a cover of this song and we also check out some of their original new stuff. New Thurston Moore’s band Chelsea Light Moving has a song that sounds like Heroin and Michael Tarbox has a similar tune on his latest album. We check out the new garage rock tunes from King Louie and his Missing Monuments and Obits. Southern music is represented by Hickoids and Left Lane Cruiser who have an excellent new record Rock Them Back To Hell.
Some sweet new americana today, or maybe it’s better to call it roots rock, since americana is really a worn out term these days. Neko Case has a new record, as well as her bandmate from the Blacky Ranchette project, Richard Buckner. Mark Lanegan is back as well with a new record consisting entirely of covers aptly called Imitations. Let’s not forget the cow punk legends Hickoids from Austin who recently gave us two new records, one a cover record called Kicking It With The Twits and also Hairy Charin’ Ape Suit that contains new songs. Finally Dickinson brothers have a new record with the North Mississippi Allstars, called World Boogi Is Coming, which were one of the last words of their father Jim before he died. The record contains a new version of Brownsville with Sid Selvidge who recently passed away and who many years ago sang this tune also with Jim in Mud Boy and The Neutrons.
