Today we check out the latest tunes from whatever was left of Yugoslavia. We start with Norveska Suma from Novi Sad and Detroit Groove Gang (they claim they are from Croatia, Michigan). Over in Ljubljana, we check out Misli and Lelee. Damjan Manevski is behind both bands. Severa Gjurin, also from Ljubljana had a nice single last winter, so we check it out now in the middle of summer. Croatia always had small towns with interesting bands. That tradition continues and in this episode we check out M.O.R.T. from Sinj and Skotni Vrag from Virovitica. Serbia also has small towns, and Marko Artukovic comes from Sabac. Tidal Pull has a new single and so does the veterans Rebel Star.

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.
