Join us in another globe-trotting musical ride. We stop in Boston to hear the new hard-rockers, Banshee. Then we go to Brooklyn and LA, and hear the new collaboration between Dion Lunadon and Kate Clover. Also from LA, we introduce Levitation Room. In New York City we have also Sufis, who sing about Cleveland. Doris Melton from Dream Machine has a new solo single. Lithics come from Oregon and we hear them for the first time. Over in Europe, we check out the new tunes from September Girls (Ireland), Entracte Twist (France) and Hedvig Mollestad (Norway). Australians, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are back with the new LP record.

Another international edition of the Little Lighthouse. We have new music from Italy, Ireland, Russia, Sweden, Iowa, Louisiana and Texas. Legendary Michael Doucet and his Beausoleil have a new record called From Bamako to Carencro. Then, Radio Moscow from Iowa have a new single. Talking about Moscow in Russia, I just recently heard about a cool garage band from over there called The Cavestompers. Forget Pussy Riot – Cavestompers are a truly spicy rock’n’roll serving. More garage hits come from Austin – new band Loteria and Sweden – The Most. Also based in Sweden is a new band called The Crunch which features former members of Cockney Rejects, Sham 69 and Clash. Five good looking ladies from Ireland are also pretty good songwriters – they called themselves September Girls, after that great Big Star tune. And finally – the title of the most fun record in this year so far goes to Italian glam rock band Giuda.
