Charlie & I agreed that our lives are missing something... Something that keeps us up all night & makes us find & celebrate life & bounce off the walls... Oh yeah! Punk music! It is much too infrequently we end up at the Albert yelling at each other over the sounds of walls collapsing saying "We need to do this more often!" We need to liven things up a bit round here. This is our punk/metal show. It's too bad some really good bands don't put out anything recorded.

I felt like I lost my mind during this show. I can't even remember at all what we played. I ran a workshop at the same time & let Charlie spread her wings a bit. Forgot some things & remembered others, from deep down somewhere. Some things got lost in the stacks of cd's we had lying around, and some things were passed up for better or worse. It actually turned out alright it seems!

3......2......1......
Happy New Year!!!!!!

Alright, don't get mad. I know you missed us last week. While Charlie & I aren't exactly snowbirds, we both got the chance to fly south this year! Be honest, you would if you could! I tried so hard to pre-record my show before I left last saturday, but then my bags were stuck in Chicago & my passport was missing... I was a trainwreck for a week, and had more pressing matters on my mind.

Here's a list of: 4 of my favourite bands I fell in love to in 2009, 2 songs about Louisiana, 3 of my alltime favourite bands, 5 bands I had never heard before I played them on air, and 2 local favourites. You can decide which is which. I always want to kick off the new year by discovering the bands I should have heard of last year.

The Burning Hell - When The World Ends
Blue King Brown - Comin' Through
The Crooked Brothers - Sweet Lemons
The Cat Empire - The Car Song
Cab Calloway - St James Infirmary Blues
Dave Matthews Band - Louisiana Bayou
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
