inro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the sounds of Burlington. I can seen you and you are amazing. You are beautiful. You can let that shine into our world at any time. Let out your super powers.
Rex are from New York but stopped by town last Saturday to play at the Ramble showcase down by North st and North ave. They were so fun. Julia opened that show. Great new song form Jeremy’s new album Threaded. I love that new song from the Shakers. More about that in a bit. OK, here’s a delightful song from a delightful band.
I miss Fight. They rocked so hard. Super cool song form Carraway. Great song from the Torys new album Future Folk. I’m sure I’ll get more on the air in the next few weeks. OK, here is the next song on The Uncanny Doom Service album. It’s cool that they tossed in a couple of clips of the Twilight Zone episode that this song was written about.
I don’t know it for sure, but it really sounds like Sea are singing Ornan is a chum so I had to play it with the Blondes song to celebrate the wonderful person Ornan McLean. He’s been through more than anyone should have to go through lately. We love you Ornan. Great cover from Rabbit and great rocker from Doom. Is it really that easy to dupe us humans? Sigh. OK, relax, get nice and chill, get yourself in a happy mood and let’s go. Let’s take a dive into a new album called All Circles Vanish.
13.) Can You Take Me Back – The Dead Shakers

18.) I Will Bow And Be Simple – The Dead Shakers
That is such a fun and trippy album. There’s a lot more to it but that’s a nice chunk. Thanks for being so amazing Kevin Bloom! OK, I’ve been playing a lot of short songs tonight. Let’s stretch out a little.
That’s such an amazing song from Anders. Great song from Casey Rae. Cancer played around in the ’90’s and still do shows now and then. I’m not sure what’s happening with the Elephants now that Ornan is no longer drumming for them. Either way, that’s a cool song. OK, this next band played the Ramble show too.
I love that song from Whisper. David and the band are continuing their series of shows in Vermont libraries. They will be in Fairfax tomorrow and I may have to catch that one. I chose West for obvious reasons. After the show at the Ramble I walked the 10 or 20 feet over to The Old North Ender and caught some songs by the Newts. They played a fun version of that one and some cool original tunes that I will have to track down soon. Barbacoa are just amazing. OK, let’s take a deep dive into Heavy Flow, the new album from Julia Caesar
27.) Falter – Julia Caesar
28.) Nose Dive – Julia Caesar
29.) Ode To the River – Julia Caesar
30.) Hear Me Now – Julia Caesar
Such a great album from such a great band. It’s going to be fun to see where they go with it. OK, let’s play another new song from Jeremy.
31.) It’s Hard To Resist – Jeremy Gilchrist
32.) Parasite – Miku Daza
33.) Procession 1 – ROUGH FRANCIS

Sarah’s from Massachusetts but visits us often. I wanted one of her songs to highlight all of the New England bands who come to town a lot. Telephone grew out of the legendary local band Envy.

Song before: Art Of Dying – George Harrison
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. Last week Hana Zara came to town and played a brilliant show at Radio Bean. She played a lot of new songs and this classic about seeing auras.
Francesca played a brilliant version of that on Monday when she joined Maryse’s weekly residency at Light Club Lamp Shop. Maryse played a great version of that song that night. Cricket opened for Hana last Sunday. They played mostly new songs and did not play that one, but I really like it and wanted to play it for you. OK, this next singer will be at On Tap in Essex tomorrow.
I love that song about getting advice from your mother. She will be at The Monkey House on Friday and at the Lamp Shop on Tuesday. Ouzkxqlzn will be at ArtsRiot on Saturday with Maryse Smith and others. Ver and Tom will be at the Lamp Shop on Saturday.

Great new song from Francis. Word has it they will be releasing a few songs as a lead up to the new album. Great classic from Plains. Great song from Danny LeFrancois and the band. The Siberians are so great. OK, a cool show happened at Nectar’s last night. Swale played the whole Paranoid album then Surf Sabbath played other Black Sabbath songs.

Song before: Immigrant Song – Led Zeppelin
intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. There was lots of great music in town last week and a staggering amount this week. Let’s begin with a band who blew me away the one time I saw them. They are in town tonight at ArtsRiot.
I saw Landlady at Signal Kitchen once and was amazed. I’m psyched they are back in town tonight. This weekend is Art Hop in the South End. There are lots of bands playing and there is one amazing show in an alley by the Green Door which is behind ArtsRiot to the right and not far from Howard St. The Parts are one of the many bands playing there. That’s a brand new song from Phil Yates‘ upcoming album. Yea, Landlady. OK, let’s play the next song from Loose Tooth.
Zeus will be at the Green Door show as will Rabbit and Dino. Great song from Clever. This next band will be at a couple of shows at Art Hop including one at Friends of Jim’s Basement.
Madaila put on a great show on Saturday when they took over Main St and put up a stage. I caught Caroline’s set at that show and was very impressed. The Breaks are playing Friday at ArtsRiot for the venue’s 4th birthday party with some other bands. This next band are playing Friday by the Green Door too.
Dave used to play around in the ’90’s and is back in town. He’s working on a new baroque pop band called The New Victorians so it will be cool to see what that sounds like. I think they will play that classic song. Great song from James about what it’s like to be in Vermont and to not be in Vermont. Francesca will be at Hotel Vt this Friday. This next band played the after Madaila show at Nectar’s last Saturday.
The Blondes, and a couple of other bands, will be at the Dysfunkshun reunion show at Higher Ground on Saturday. Francis and Swale put on amazing shows at Nectar’s last Saturday. OK, here’s a classic Burlington rocker.
I haven’t caught up with Mountain in a while but love it when I do. Great rocker from Seth and the band. It was fun watching Hen put the Nightmare jump rope theme into song form at the Robot Dog Studio session last week. Classic from Envy. OK, there’s not much time left. Let’s end where we began.
25.) The Globe – Landlady
26.) It’ll Be OK – Let’s Whisper
27.) In The Rain – Plan B
28.) Above My Ground – Landlady
I love how hard that song rocks at the end. Classic from B and quite appropriate with all the rain we’ve had lately. Great song from Whisper and another great one from Landlady. Well, I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

Song before: Do It Again – The Kinks
intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. Last Friday Swale finally released their new album There’s No One Here. It’s a double album with red vinyl and lots of amazing artwork. There are a ton of fantastic songs on the album Let’s begin tonight with what is almost the title song.
1.) Loser – Swale
2.) High Flying Bird – Anders Parker
3.) One From Two – Linda Bassick
4.) Lowdown – Vedora
Vedora rocked our town for a couple of years and Caroline is still out there making similar sounding music. Great song from Linda. Cool song from Anders album The Man Who Fell From Earth. That’s such a fun and sad song from Swale. They excel at that, as you will hear throughout the course of the evening. OK, here is the next song on Action, the EP I am playing all the way through song after song week after week. It’s the third EP in their “album” Lights, Camera, Action.
5.) Mass Murderer – 1881
6.) Cereal – Carraway
7.) Bird In A Cage – Swale
8.) The Nighthorses – The Cush
When listening to the new Swale album something about Bird reminded me of the Cush song so I thought it would be fun to play them back to back. That’s an interesting way to spell the Carraway song. Great stuff from 1881. This next band are playing at Sidebar tonight.
9.) Taung Child Mastered – The Dead Shakers
10.) Spastic Tactics – The Edd
11.) Counting On A Ghost – Elephants Of Scotland
12.) Lead Me To Your Love – The New Siberians
Great song from Siberians Black Blue and White album. Great song from Elephants. Nice trippy song from the Edd who will play a show for us in a few weeks. I loved the Shakers the one time I saw them. Last night I went to Nectar’s and saw these two bands, and need to get some music from the other one who played.
13.) Cascade – Andriana Chobot
14.) Megaphone – Josh Glass
15.) Silver Dollars – Banana Schlitz
16.) Felon – Swale
Another great new Swale song that they have been playing at shows for a while now and I finally get to play it for you. Banana will be at the Flynn Exposure series tomorrow at 5 or so. Josh and Andriana were amazing last night. Mal Maiz and Haley Jane were lots of fun too. We are in the middle of summer and this song is so appropriate.
17.) Endless Sunkissed Lover – Gneiss
18.) Break A Leg – David Rosane And The Zookeepers
19.) Elevator – Swale
20.) It’ll Be OK – Let’s Whisper
I love how positive and fun that song is. Super poppy song from Swale about a frightening event. David and the band will be at American Flatbread next Wednesday. Gneiss are at Red Square next Thursday. Here is another song I have heard for a while around town that I now get to share with you.
21.) All Down Tonight – Swale
22.) Brothers And Sisters – Joe Adler
23.) Catch And Release – Clever Girls
24.) Control – Ratboys
Ratboys are from Chicago and came and played a show on Saturday at Sidebar with Clever Girls. Both bands were great. Joe and his band played a great version of that one a week ago in Winooski. Great song from Swale. This next singer is performing tonight for the first time in ages and I could not be more excited!
25.) Boys Club – Peg Tassey
26.) 25 Mile Per Hour Blues – Better Things
27.) 22R – Cave Bees
28.) Drug Laws – Swale
