AP Podcast number 19
DO YOU EVER SPIN BATTERIES? IT'S A GOOD TRICK
Hey boys and girls. I hope your life is treating you well. We should all have our head in this crazy world with all it's truths and injustice but be sure and also have your head squarely focused on your dreams and with your loved ones because while we should all try to change the world for the better, making your personal world a good place, a just place will contribute to the whole world because you will serve as a role model and inspiration to others.
NOW to American Pancake's number 19 which started out as my first LIVE foray into podcasting and I mean live in the sense that I didn't plan the playlist and in an odd attempt to possibly fool robots, yes fool robots, I played the songs directly into a four mic system via speakers. The sound was sort of live like the artists were playing in a club. In the end, I reverted back to laying in the sound files because some of the songs "ooooomph" (a technical term) was lost. So this Podcast has funky noisy sounding talking parts that are live in the sense that I did not edit any of my babbling so you all will have to put up with the mental meandering, the "um" and "uh" and "so" but besides that it is a batch of great songs by artists that I hope you check out further (links highlighted).
Love, love, love the opening track "Crutch" by Mirror Shot. Other highlights for me are Leche Malo- I just love his kind of elegant kind of sway on the track "Smoking Cigarettes" so much. The dreamy theater aspect of Sleep Millenium on "Light In The Dark" is truly anthemic and moving. I am delving further into Panchaeans and their "Telecommuting" EP and I love their lush sort of Brit pop sound. The Oxen just sound so playful and bad ass (out of San Diego, Cali). I bring back Vomitface into the AP podcast Fray, a band I have covered 3 or 4 times on AP. The classic folk sound of Katie Blount is so wonderful, so damn wonderful. I love her voice. Hear the art house rock of the sort of undefinable but undeniably cool Winston Vista. The one man band, Cooled Jets takes me back to spartan punk pop at the Smell in Los Angeles, even though this guy hails from Syracuse, New York. Listen to the band with probably the longest band name (maybe?) The Boys with the Perpetual Nervousness (nod to the Feelies) and their appropriate named "Nervous Man" is sweet and feels so retro pop in the best possible way and, finally, I take you to Oslo, well at least expose you to the mountain surf sound of Monalia.
Here you go and PLEASE SHARE:
Thanks nice people-
Cheers
