Today we have an excellent selection of new songs that come from some amazing ladies. Solvej Schou comes from Pasadena CA, and she just announced her new album. Katarina Pejak is from Belgrade, Serbia and has her first US release out. Then we take a short train ride West, to a nearby town of Vinkovci, Croatia where we catch the new PunÄke single. Kerri Powers comes travels between Massachusetts and Connecticut and there she is at The Little Lighthouse too. We also introduce Lonesome Shack from Bellingham, WA and Vandoliers from Dallas, TX. Baby Spiders may be a new name for us, but two members of Lotion are hiding behind it: Tony Zajkowski and Rob Youngberg. Robert Forster, the legendary Go-Between is back with the new record too. We wrap things up with a live in Cleveland recording of All Them Witches. This episode is dedicated to the memory of Scott Walker.

One of the first things you probably noticed when you opened up our webpage is the new design. You might think I decided to switch for easier editing. That’s not the case, I had a very quick and painless way of editing my old site. The reason was searchability of the site on the Internet crawlers and also within the site itself. I hope it will not be too confusing. Also, I will slowly transfer some of the old articles and perhaps this will make me want to write more. We’ll see. In any case, the eight episode of the Flashlite edition is ready for your downloads. We have a brand new album The Evangelist for the former Go-Betweens member Robert Forster. In some ways it’s a return to the quirkiness of his nineties solo efforts. Another quirky artist, Jonathan Richman is also back with a new record called Because Her Beauty Is Raw and Wild. Check it out, he’s again fascinated by painters. The Nits from Netherlands continue 30 years of steady record making with the new album called Doing The Dishes.
