Ladies night today! First 40 minutes is nothing but ladies… Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss from Sleater Kinney have a fresh, new band called Wild Flag. Self title album is out on Merge. Singer songwriters Pieta Brown and Ana Egge are also here with interesting albums. Egge’s new record is called Bad Blood and it’s apparently based around the mental problems that run in her family. The Walkabouts are also back after six years with the new record which they call Travels In The Dustland. Chris Eckman lives in Slovenia these days and he organized a very interesting tribute to Bob Dylan together with a group of local musicians. We represent this album today with Severa Gjurin and her version of Not Dark Yet from Bob’s later period. The show closes with two boys from across the pond. The new name for us is Danny George Wilson and his band The Champions of The World. Springsteen fans should pay attention. Laz McCluskey from Bubblegum Lemonade is working on the new record and testing the pulse of the audience by sharing some early demos. We check out one of those demos today.
And a bad news for last. Unfortunately, the way I understand, The Little Lighthouse will not be a part of the new Radio Centar 987 schedule in Kragujevac, but we’re still standing strong with Rock XS in Athens. If you are a program director of some radio station that would like to syndicate this podcast, you are very welcome to contact me about the terms.

We also have a brand new band from London, England called Betty and the Werewolves which has three girls who look like they could be sisters and one boy. But this doesn’t mean that we don’t have some sweaty manly rock’n’roll in today’s show – we end it with several tracks from the pub rock era. We dedicate today’s show to Predrag Ivanovic – 80 year old jazz musician from Belgrade who died on May 4th this year.
