:: 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

:: Piestasters ::

My friend Julio doesn’t like the Pietasters, and for once the feeling is mutual — they don’t like him, either. Still, “Something Better” is quite the excellent song, even if the band ended up being a bunch of third-wave ska frat boys.

In this episode: Aislers Set, Antonio Carlos & Jocafi, Brendan Benson, Devo, Forro In The Dark, Geraldo Pine, Heavy Vegetable, Janis Joplin, Jason Trachtenburg, Pietasters, Poi Dog Pondering, Rah Brahs, Simian Mobile Disco, Sir Millard Mulch, The Avett Brothers, The Bronx, Ui
