Today we start with two american singer-songwriters: Gurf Morlix and Steve Gunn. We also end with two ladies with the same first name: Mary Bragg from Nashville and Mary-Elaine Jenkins from New York City. Right in the middle, we check out the new tunes from the legendary Meat Puppets and the Memphis supergroup Motel Mirrors. We also pay respects to Hal Blaine, a phenomenal drummer and a Wrecking Crewman that played on a lot of hits, and very inventively so.

Today we start with The Meatbodies, a band that involves Chad Ubovich, a long time collaborator of Ty Segall. Then we introduce Sabbath Assembly, self described occult band that travels between Texas and New York City. White Reaper come from Louisville KY and Ghoultown come from Texas, both bands quite rough and heavy. Automatic City from France bring us their playful brand of boogie woogie and so do modern legends Endless Boogie who are back with a new record. We also have two new albums by two wonderful ladies. Juliana Hatfield is here with Pussycat and Mary Bragg debuts at the show with an original approach to songwriting. The Obsessed has a new record called Sacred and we also check how they sounded in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Redd Kross also visited us here in town, after 20 years.
