:: Dr. Dog ::

The sentiment is universal: everyone hates this band’s name. Perhaps it’s become a successful conversational gambit in getting them mentioned and recommended — you decide for yourself.

:: Ben Vaughn ::

I admire Ben Vaughn’s “press record and go” work ethic. He recorded an entire album inside a ’65 Rambler… when I dig that up, you’ll be sure to hear it.

In this episode: Ben Vaughn, Bettie Serveert, Bob Dylan, Dan Hicks, Dim Dim, Matisyahu, Mazzy Star, New Order, Shantel, Sir Millard Mulch, Sparks, The Bronx, The Cat Empire, Tulip Sweet and Her Trail of Tears, Zzzz

:: The English Beat ::

Long before Hammertime, there was “Ranking Full Stop.” Still the superior product, in my opinion. And Brak always cracks me up, but your mileage may vary.

In this episode: Arctic Monkeys, Art Brut, Asylum Street Spankers, Brak, Christian Zimmerman, Combustible Edison, Dan Hicks, English Beat, Los Lobos, Metal Molly, Mexican Institute of Sound, Os Mutantes, Simian Mobile Disco, The Wrens, Vells, Ween
