Show Number 62 - a 4-Song Podpourri

Hey there, and Happy Thursday!

I know, a new show on a Thursday? And no theme today? Go figure. As it turns out, I've had some cool tunes just waiting in the wings for the right theme show to come along so I could feature them, but I couldn't wait any longer. I figured I'd just go ahead and give them their own little podpourri of an episode. Just for your pure listening pleasure.

Here's the lineup:

• "Mountains of Hope" by PREDESTINED
• "Asshat" by Jim Tyrrell
• "Satellites" by Little Yellow Perfect
• "How I Pass the Time" by The Muffs

That's it - in and out. Rock on, and I'll catch you on the next one!

Show Number 61 - The Election Edition

My fellow Americans... OK, sorry... just kidding.

Today's show contains 9 tunes meant to reflect our recent election season. Some are funny, some are inspiring, some might even teach you a little something, but they're all just plain good. Hope you enjoy 'em. Here's the lineup:

• "The Presidents" by Jonathan Coulton
• "The Bill of Rights" by Blowin' Chunks (sorry - no website link for these folks)
  
• "Obama Llama or How to Talk to a 2-Year Old about Politics" by Steve Dreher & Friends
• "Don't Believe the Hypocrites" by Slow Smile
• "For What it's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield (Live from the Monterey Pop Festival)
• "American Anthem" by Left Standing
• "Where Hope Remains" by Alex Mejias
• "Big Change" by Jon Caspi
• "Drop of Hope" by Common Ground

Now that it's all said and done (well, almost all of it, that is), we can all relax and not worry about the flood of junk mail and robo-calls. Whew... what a relief.

Catch ya next time!

Show Number 59 - Celtic Rock Revival

Yup - this show is actually a week late... I wanted to do it last Sunday, but was a little too pooped.

I went to the NH Highland Games last weekend, and got to experience some great Celtic rock, as always, these games don't disappoint in that respect. Not to mention the heavy athletics, massed bands, clan tents, competitions, and everything else. Always a fantastic time! On the heels of this, I wanted to do a show dedicated to Celtic music, and Celtic Rock in particular. Hope you enjoy it! Here's the lineup:

• "Perfect World" by The Dust Rhinos
• "Ordinary Day" by Great Big Sea
• a clip of "Pressed for Time" by The Rogues
• "Half Empty/Half Full" by Jim Tyrrell
• "Botany Bay" by The Blaggards
• "Sailing with the Captain" by The Dust Rhinos
• "Kerry's Jig" by Will Kriski

Now, I just need to start planning my next trip to the Motherland (Ireland & Scotland)!! :)
Take care, and I'll catch you next time!
