I just got back from my local music radio show on internet only Wbkm Dot Org. I highlighted a lot of what is happening in our town and some of the bands that come through. There was a bit of a story rainy theme.

Song before: (Then Came The) Last Of May (live) – Blue Oyster Cult

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. It’s a beautiful night in Burlington but it has been a bit rainy and stormy in the past few days. This is the last show I’ll do this month so I have to start with this song. This is Last Day Of May by The Red Telephone on WBKM and this is Burlington’s Kind of Music.

1.) Last Day Of May – The Red Telephone
2.) Storm Cloud – When Particles Collide
3.) Miranda – Ninja Custodian
4.) Cats Were Born – And The Kids

Killer song from their new album. They are playing The Monkey House tomorrow. Killer classic Ninja song. Particles just released a new EP called This Town about life in Bangor Maine. It’s pretty cool. This next band are playing at the Monkey tomorrow too.

5.) Magenta Man – Rue Mevlana
6.) Exit Strategy – Rue Mevlana
7.) Futuis Eam – Vows
8.) Unveiled – Pours

I’ve caught Pours a couple of times and they are pretty cool. Vows are from NJ but have played town a couple of times and are coming back soon. That’s from their new album. I love the dramatic sweep to Rue’s songs. Let’s continue on through Swale’s album The Next Instead.

9.) Edible #2 – Swale
10.) The Same Stars – Zola Turn
11.) Oh My God – Sarah Blacker
12.) Beats Me – Satori Bob

Happy Birthday John Baumann! Great song from Sarah’s new album. Considering the imagery in the song, I had to pair it up with the Zola song. She played a killer show last Friday at The Skinny Pancake. I think I’m going to head there tomorrow to see this next artist, who has been playing there all month.

13.) Canadian Cowboy – Arc Iris
14.) Avalon – Split Tongue Crow
15.) Oh Freedom – U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and 30 Vermont musicians

Bernie had a killer kickoff rally for his Presidential run at the waterfront in Burlington Tuesday. I had to work but was inspired by watching the speech on C-Span. Run Bernie Run. Killer song from Rutland’s finest. I’m very excited to catch Iris. This next band are playing Saturday at the Monkey House.

16.) Running Away From Home – The Snaz
17.) Ninjas VS Zombies – Phil Yates
18.) The Original Original – Black Rabbit
19.) Iron And Metal – The Mountain Says No

Killer song from Mountain’s coming soon album. Same for Rabbit. Great song from Phil. After seeing Sarah at the Pancake last Friday I ran over to Radio Bean and caught this band play a killer show.

20.) Not A Nice Guy – ROUGH FRANCIS
21.) Projector – Vetica
22.) Forbidden Love – Pinhead
23.) These Stories – When Particles Collide

Another great new song from Particles. That one had me dancing around the studio. Killer classic Pinhead song. I miss Vetica. I try to never miss Francis. It’s been raining on and off a bunch today. This seemed appropriate.

24.) Way Like Water – Sarah Blacker
25.) Nothing But The Water I & II – Grace Potter
26.) Jan Michael Vincent – Chin Ho

I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

Song before: Sparks – The Color Exchange

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. It cooled off a little this week and we had a nice thunder and lightning storm, but today was a beautiful sunny day. There are lots of people about and a joyous spirit in the air. I drove to New Hampshire and back yesterday and the mountains of Vermont are lush with tons of shades of green. Enjoy this moment and enjoy your loved ones whenever you can. It was my birthday this week and I’m going to pull out a few of the bands and songs I’m most passionate about. If your band is not on this list it’s more that I only have two hours, not that I meant to miss you. This song has been rocking my world lately. This is Little French Earthquakes by Phil Yates and the Affiliates on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s Kind of Music.

1.) Little French Earthquakes – Phil Yates & The Affiliates
2.) Teenage Mother Earth – The Red Telephone
3.) Tastes Like Nothing – Zola Turn
4.) Tibbar Tibbar – Black Rabbit

I knew I had to play a Rabbit song and that was the first one that really caught me, and still does. Love that classic from ZT. It must have been a beautiful time, it must have been a terrible time, it must have been a beautiful terrible time indeed. That one has been speaking to me lately. Let’s continue through Swale’s album The Next Instead.

5.) Golden Crutch – Swale
6.) It Shows – Sarah Blacker
7.) Presence – Satori Bob
8.) Day Of The Dead – Hana Zara

I love the way Hana’s lyrics walk you through a picture. Great song from John Baumann and Robert Gagnon. That’s another song from Sarah’s new album In Waves. It’s not quite out but can be pre-ordered. This next artist is in California, but put a ton of music into this town over several years.

9.) Never Cry Halo – Alice Austin
10.) Chuck Berry – Dino Bravo VT
11.) Las Vegas – Ninja Custodian
12.) Trading Bullets – Fire The Cannons

They put on some very intense rock shows in the 2000’s. Classic from Ninja. Dino just played a show in Stowe where they were billed as Dino Barvo, possibly and puppet show. This next band have a new album and a new video for this song.

13.) Playtime – Death World Wide
14.) Mine All Mine – Cave Bees
15.) Gas and Oil – Gas and Oil
16.) This Machine – Invisible Homes

I love the nod to Woody Guthrie and the idea of killing fascist ideas with words and music and ideas and inspiration instead of with bullets. Killer song from Beano Parker’s non Wards band. There’s everything to love about the Cave Bees. Speaking of ideas that could kill fascists and Woody.

17.) This Land Is Your Land – U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and 30 Vermont musicians
18.) Brothers And Sisters – Joe Adler
19.) U Can Love If U Want To – Peg Tassey MUSIC
20.) I Put A Spell On You – Marco Benevento and Kat Wright

That was recorded live at Radio Bean. It doesn’t get more Burlington than that. Killer song from Peg. Brothers and Sisters is dedicated to my brother Ken and all of the musicians that I feel are my brothers and sisters. You know who you are. Thanks for the beautiful song Joe! Bernie is the kind of guy who has spent his whole life trying to kill fascists with wonderful ideas. OK, on Tuesday I turned 50. That means I was born in….

21.) 1965 – The New Siberians
22.) Statistik – The Mountain Says No
23.) TFAY – Elephants of Scotland
24.) Plastic Revolution – Doll Fight

Love that song from DF. Revolution Doll style now! I just love that Elephants song so much! I finally got the Mountain songs into a playable format. I love the build in that song. Yea, Siberians. This is a great song from a friend of the show.

25.) Letter From The 21st – Jeremy Gilchrist
25.) I Forgot – Maryse Smith
26.) Ships – Anais Mitchell

I just love that song. I’ve loved the Maryse Smith song since I first heard it. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

Song before: Delirious – The Church Band

promo

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. Over the Christmas holiday I’ve been thinking a lot about the peace on earth good will towards people idea. We’ve made many strides but are still a long way off. This first song is a nice image of where we could end up if we work hard to wage peace.

1.) Happy Xmas (War is Over) – Joshua Glass Music
2.) Presence – Satori Bob
3.) Happy New Year – Ninja Custodian
4.) Basalt Anchor – Vedora

Love the sultry feel to the voice and music in that song, and the guitar playing is beautiful too! Can’t wait to see them more in this coming year with Jane Boxall Percussion on drums. Happy New Year has a nice sentiment on the surface but is about a terrible chemical spill in Bhopal. If humankind works together maybe we can stop having tragedies like that. Presence is a song about lighting up your inner poet and stepping away from materialism. I hope you enjoyed the holiday season. Does anyone know if The Mountain Says No ever got their Christmas sled?

5.) Christmas Sled – The Mountain Says No
6.) Cowgirl In The Sand – The Seth Yacovone Band

Killer version of the Neil Young song performed live at Nectar’s as part of the WBKM birthday party last November. Mountain are playing Saturday at The Monkey House with Black Rabbit and Dino Bravo VT. OK, let’s go on to the next song on Many Things and Many Scenes.

7.) Shoreline In Jersey – Joe Adler
8.) Old Souls Of Chatham County – Jeremy Gilchrist
9.) The Globe – Landlady

I still vividly remember the Landlady show at Signal Kitchen earlier this year. Someone can bring them back anytime!! Great new song from Jeremy. He was one of the many performers who played at First Night Burlington this year. It was great to see Joe play some new songs last Tuesday at Radio Bean. One of the ways I learn about music is to read the column by Seven Days music writer Dan Bolles then show up and see if I like the band. He is doing a list of the top local music singles of 2014. Here are a few of his picks.

10.) Unveiled – Pours
11.) Give Me All Your Love – Madaila
12/) Until It All Ends – Waylon Speed

Yup, he was right. Those are all pretty cool songs. This next song is on the list too, and this band played a killer show Tuesday at Nectar’s.

13.) Popular Crowd – Swale
14.) Searching To Destroy – Kiki’s Lost Nation
15.) Weapons Factory – The Wards

The Wards are down to a three-piece but played a smoking show at Radio Bean last Sunday. Lost Nation opened but Aurora sang instead of Kiki. Either way, they opened with a killer version of Searching. Here’s some music I got this morning. It’s Luke Awtry from Vetica‘s new band.

16.) Womb With A View – Heavy Plains
17.) Things Change – Black Rabbit
18.) A Different Machine (live) – Elephants of Scotland

Elephants have released the show they played in Gettysburg at Rosfest, a progressive rock festival. They are also playing Montreal in April at one of the Marillion weekend side events. I am so there! Can’t wait to see Rabbit in a couple of days. This next guy has been waging peace since his days as Mayor of Burlington. He made this album back in 1987 and is still standing up for the same things.

19.) We Shall Overcome – Bernie Sanders and 30 Vermont Artists
20.) Buttonz – Binger

Binger seem to be working towards the peace on earth idea and I thought their words would stand favorably with Bernie’s. I think they are playing Red Square tomorrow. OK, I’m almost out of time so let’s head back to Gettysburg for one more song.

21.) Endless (Pt 2) – Elephants Of Scotland.

I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

I just got back from my local music radio show on internet only Wbkm Dot Org. I played a lot of bands from town and some that have come here to play.

Song before: Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush

promo

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. The nights have been cool and some of the leaves are starting to turn, but the days have been hazy, lazy, sunny and warm. It always makes me think of this song. This is the next song from Ninja Jane on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s Kind Of Music.

1.) Curveball Dreamer – Zola Turn
2.) This Is Our Good Night – Aya Inoue
3.) Salvation and Sin – Satori Bob
4.) Big Enough – Anachronist

I loved seeing them at Waking Windows this year and wanted to pull out another of their great songs. Great song from John Baumann and Robert Gagnon. I wanted to play the Aya song because I read she was not feeling well. Let’s all think good healing thoughts for her and Sonja Clawson and everyone else who’s not feeling so well. The Zola song always makes me think of Baseball games in the summer sun. Up next is a band who just played a library and released a new EP.

5.) 40 Days – Better Things
6.) Always Monica -> Down At The Duck – Chin Ho!
7.) Grounded – Invisible Jet

Great song from the ’90’s. I think Ryan Ober is playing tomorrow at Radio Bean, though he sounds a bit different now. Great stuff from Chin Ho!, another classic Burlington band. Let’s keep the groove going with Raq.

8.) WalkingInCircles – Raq
9.) Star – The New Siberians
10.) Mirror Mirror – Joe Adler & The Rangers Of Danger

That was live from Nectar’s. His new album just came out today but I don’t have a copy yet. Expect a lot of it next week. He officially releases it next Saturday at Nectar’s. Great song by the Siberians. Next is a band I should have gone to see last Tuesday at The Monkey House. I think I would have really liked them!

11.) Mush – Phantom Suns
12.) Imaginary – Envy
13.) Mine All Mine – Cave Bees
14.) Rejected – Black Rabbit

I’m psyched for September 12 when Rabbit and the Bees rock the Monkey House!!! I love the way new music, like Phantom mixes with ’90’s music like Envy, so effortlessly. Here’s a new classic Burlington band.

15.) How It Goes – Blue Button
16.) Finally Found The One – When Particles Collide
17.) Trading Bullets – Fire The Cannons
18.) Ipso Facto – Tesla’s Revenge

It was so great to see them at the library. I hope they come back to town soon. At one point in the 2000’s I was looking for a new rock band to love. Cannons came on the scene and played some killer shows! I felt like playing a Particles song and that one just jumped into my head. Up next is another band who played the library, they’re from Rutland.

19.) Sad One Out – SADG’s
20.) Northern Memory – The Cush
21.) Voodoo Camaro – Wide Wail
22.) Crazy Hearse – Barbacoa

Not to be confused with Crazyhearse, Barbacoa’s song is two words. Great song from WW. Northern is the first song I remember from when the Cush moved back to Texas, then came back to town to play their new album. Speaking of Texas, this next guy never came to town and it’s not music, but this is Burlington’s Kind Of Attitude.

23.) It’s Just A Ride – Bill Hicks (AMERICAN The Bill Hicks Story)
24.) Purpose And Object – The Contrarian
25.) Above My Ground – Landlady

I loved the day Landlady played at Signal Kitchen and that was what Burlington sounded like at that moment. Anyone want to bring them back to town? Many times? Contrairan is Casey Ronin Rae who guided me to a lot of great music when he wrote the music column for Seven Days so many years ago. Love his songs too! I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

I just got home from my local music radio show on internet only WBKM.ORG. I had some brand new music to play, and let rock and country hang out a bit.

Song before: Parisian Walkways – Greg Lake with Gary Moore

promo

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. It was warm and sunny this week, until Wednesday, and some new music has been unfurled in the world. This is from the new album Photoelectric by a band called When Particles Collide. This is a song called Lean In on WBKM, and even though they are from Maine, this is Burlington’s Kind of Music.

1.) Lean In – When Particles Collide
2.) B A Pariah – Endless Jags
3.) Red And Gold – Old Soul

Those three bands are from Maine, and even though I love the music from Vermont, they’ve got some good stuff going on too. I saw Old Soul once at Radio Bean and they were really impressive. Jags and Particles come to town and rock, now and then. Particles released the new album Tuesday and are off and rocking. Now it’s time for the next song on Dancing With The Big Guy. So far on the album there are rap songs, funk, punk and indie rock. Any bet they also have a country song?

4.) Lucky- Ninja Custodian
5.) Easy Come – Split Tongue Crow
6.) Santa Anna – Hana Zara

I used to play her album all the time. I just pulled it out the other day and just saw the title and had to play Santa. I though Easy Come would work nice with the theme of lucky. I was reading that Robert Gagnon was visiting John Baumann and am hoping for some more Satori Bob. Until then…

7.) Presence – Satori Bob
8.) Coming Down Again – Waylon Speed
9.) Don’t Cough Me Out – Slowdim

I really liked playing that song the other week and wanted to play it again. Nice new song from Waylon’s new album Kin. Up next is a band who are recording a new album. This is a classic Burlington song.

10.) I Am Sunday – The Red Telephone
11.) Chop Wood/Carry Water – Zola Turn
12.) Warm Chills – Persian Claws
13.) Constant Disaster – When Particles Collide

Ending where we began. I had a bit of space in the set so tossed in Warm Chills. Thanks Persian for so many great short songs. Classics from Zola and RT. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we”

I just got back from my 49th local music radio show on internet only WBKM.ORG. I highlighted a lot of the amazing amount of music that is happening this weekend.

Song before: Freewill – RUSH

promo

intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the sounds of Burlington. It’s cold and snowy the deepest part of winter. A lot of us are asking What’s in California? This is Joshua Glass on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s kind of music.

1.) What’s In California? – Josh Glass
2.) Drunk On The Moon – Satori Bob
3.) Plugging Away – Sarah Emily Blacker
4.) Leonard Cohen – Violette Ultraviolet

VU played Radio Bean last weekend. I missed them when I was at Higher Ground for Lotus Land, with my brother Ken and Elephants of Scotland and Mike Wilhide. Tomorrow at the Bean a bunch of people are playing Leonard Cohen Songs. Whatever life throws at Sarah, she keeps plugging away. Since I was on the west coast anyway, I though I’d toss in the Satori song. Tomorrow is the full moon, and there is rock at The Monkey House, and tonight Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band are playing at the Bean and Spiritual Res are playing Nectar’s, and on Saturday is The Wee Folkestra at the Bean and ROUGH FRANCIS are filming a video. So, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. What do you consider sexy? A nice face and a nice body? For me, an alert working mind that appreciates people and art and science is sexy.

5.) Super Sexy Science Party – Wave of the Future
6.) Magenta Man – Rue Mevlana
7.) Robots Making Love – Pinhead

That was such a fun Pinhead song, and fit in well with the Wave song. I’ve seen Rue a couple of times at the Winter Is A Drag Ball at Higher Ground (both rooms), and they are playing again this year. The Dirty Blondes rocked it a couple of times, and I was impressed by Rue. Some of their music is all electronic dance beat, but some songs have lots of nice drama. Next up is the next song from Maximum Soul Power. Coincidentally, the video they are shooting on Saturday is this song.

8.) Not A Nice Guy – Rough Francis
9.) Song 6 – Nautica
10.) Epic – Laureate
11.) Tibbar Tibbar – Black Rabbit
12.) We’re Closed – Blue Button

The last four bands are playing an anti Valentine’s rock show at the Monkey House tomorrow. I will be there. Wolvings are playing too and it should really rock. If that were not enough, Elephants Of Scotland have a new album coming out soon and they are playing at Nectar’s on Monday.

13.) Home Away From Home – Elephants Of Scotland
14.) Exit Strategy – Rue Mevlana

I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we”

Song before: Every 10 Seconds Before – Active Heed

promo

intro

From our small city, to the great big wold, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. It’s getting colder, but there were still people walking around Church st. They were playing music on the street and in the bars. Last week I opened with a song about California by Joshua Glass. Tonight let’s start with New York, My Lovely on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s kind of music.

1.) New York, My Lovely – Josh Glass
2.) Lonely Man – Ana Pardenik
3.) Die A Little – Satori Bob

John Baumann and Satori Bob used to play Burlington all the time. He moved out west but this song has the great Robert Gagnon on it. Bob is such a great player and has a wonderful Vermonter dry wit. Best Facebook poster ever? I love Anna’s songs and that one seemed to fit the mood of the day. Next up is another of those staggeringly great players in Burlington.

4.) The Ground Is Giving UP – Aaron Flinn and Salad Days
5.) Monarch Butterfly – Jenny Montana
6.) My Atom Girl – The Dirtminers

That’s a great song by the Dirtminers about the father of the Pakistani atomic bomb. Here in Burlington we like to look at, and listen to, the events of the world and try and make sense of them. Raph Worrick and Jeff LaBossiere and company do a great job of it on that song. It’s really catchy too. Jenny used to play a bunch of the Women Exposed in Fold Fashion and Rock And Roll shows, that Gabrielle Douglas used to always be a part of. I love that song from Jenny. Next up is the next song from the great album, To A Star In The Yard.

7.) Keeping You Wild – Alice Austin
8.) On The Radio (?) – My Other Friend
9.) Dead Summer – Thompson Gunner
10.) The Blackout – The Static Age

Static were an ’80’s band in the 2000’s that gave us the mega talented Bobby Hackney Jr. on drums who went on to front ROUGH FRANCIS and Marie Claire Johnson who rocked hard with Fire the Cannons, wrote some great solo piano songs that I really miss and would love to play, and met up with Mike Gordon for a tour. She often plays at Honky Tonk Tuesdays at Radio Bean. I had a great time at the Bean last week seeing Blue Button and Rough Francis on Saturday and Hana Zara on Sunday. This Saturday Thompson are playing. My Other Friend came to town once and I bought their three song CD that has no song titles. Great stuff though.

Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. A lot of people have a lot of opinions, but the fact is it was a tragedy that stunned the nation and effects us deeply 50 years later. People in Burlington like to think things through and try to organize thoughts to make sense of worldly events. Black Rabbit do a great job of it on this song about that horrible event in our history.

11.) Mark My Words – Black Rabbit
12.) Ruffians – Rough Francis
13.) Destroying Everything They See – Blue Button
14.) I’m Sick Of It – Shark Victim

SV are always fun. BB and RF rocked the Bean hard on Saturday. Thanks guys!! I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town, let’s do it again next week, shall we?

http://wbkm.org/

I just got back from local music internet radio show number 30 on WBKM.ORG. It seemed that in every break, what I was about to say, slipped out of my head. Maybe it’s a sign that I need a week off.

Song before: Mad As The Mist And Snow – The Waterboys

promo

Intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. It’s been warm and sunny for the last couple of days. The nights have been chilly, but still nice for walking. Here is the next song on Swale‘s A Small Arrival. This is Overcoat on WBKM, and this is Burlington’s kind of music.

1.) Overcoat – Swale
2.) Tell Me – Linda Bassick
3.) Johnson Unit Talkin’ Blues – Satori Bob
4.) Leonard Cohen – Violette Ultraviolet

On Saturday a bunch of local musicians are playing Leonard Cohen songs at Radio Bean. I’m not sure if VU will be there, but wanted to play the song. Satori are on the opposite coast, but that song has a Cohen sort of feel. It’s cool that both coasts are thinking the same way. Linda plays the Bean on Friday mornings, bring your kids if you get a chance. Hmmm, Swale. Last Sunday at the punk show at the Bean, they added Hana Zara at 8 and a band from Maine called Old Soul in between. Their songs just made me feel happy.

5.) Home – Old Soul
6.) Traveling Time – Born Naked
7.) In The Pines – Vedora

I just saw Vedora at Red Square. They played a ton of new songs, and they did play Pines. It’s great to see them again! A long time ago David L. Jarvis created a label called Permanent Records. It wasn’t, but did put out the CD by New Hampshire’s Born Naked.
Tomorrow I’m heading to 242 Main to catch Poxy and Be Aggressive. I have a song from each of them coming up, but will start with the band I saw last night.

8.) The Eldridge – Cameo Harlot
9.) Be Aggressive – Be Aggressive
10.) Rot In Hell – Poxy
11.) Black and Red – Rough Francis

I had such a good time at the punk show Sunday at the Bean. I hope I have as much fun at 242 tomorrow. Last night was great with Cameo at the Monkey. OK, let’s go classic Burlington.

12.) Drug Me Up – Ninja Custodian
13.) Lines and Spaces (live) – The Cancer Conspiracy

That was two of the great classic Burlington bands. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next, well actually, I will be off next week. I’m going to Albany to see the Waterboys. Let’s do it the week after, and the week after, and the week after……

Song Before: Veteran of the Psychic Wars – Blue Oyster Cult

Intro

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. I just got my hands on the new Satori Bob album. John Baumann used to play all over this town. This is what he’s up to now. This is a song called Beats Me, and this is Burlington’s kind of music on WBKM

1.) Beats Me – Satori Bob

2.) Santa Anna – Hana Zara

3.) Powder – The New Siberians

4.) Where Are You Tonight? – The Lonestar Chain

Burette Douglas is probably in Texas, but hopefully he will come back for a visit soon. It would be fun to see another Lonestar show. Powder is such a great song. Yet another great Hana song. Beats Me was familiar from the first note. What a cool song. This next song has a bit of rock, some jam, and a bit of jazz. It was recorded at Signal Kitchen.

5.) Jive – Clint Bierman and the Necessary Means

6.) Home Away From Home – Elephants of Scotland

7.) Weightless – Queen Tangerine

That’s Alice Austin and Julia Austin having fun with an outer space theme. Elephants are all about outer space. A lot of people in Burlington love the idea of being beyond this planet. Up next is a powerful Swale song and the next on their album A Small Arrival.

8.) Bittersweet – Swale

9.) We Are The Beautiful Sunsets – The Cush

10.) Gentlemen – Plan B

Wouldn’t the world be a bit nicer if we were all gentlemen? It’s surprising how little effort it takes. With the long slow Swale ending I thought Sunsets would mix nicely. It did! This weekend is the Grace Potter Grand Points North festival, but my eyes are on Radio Bean for punk night on Sunday

11.) Songs in those chords – Trapper Keeper

12.) How It Goes – Blue Button

13.) Come To Space – Rough Francis

It should be a fun night at the Bean with those three. Ha, another space song. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?

Intro:

From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds of Burlington. I saw Hana Zara a couple of weeks ago at the Precipice and was blown away. She’s playing at 9pm, Friday at Radio Bean. This is a song called Dropout Generation on WBKM and this is Burlington’s kind of music.

1.) Dropout Generation – Hana Zara
2.) Queen Anne’s Lace – Satori Bob
3.) These Summer Nights – Sarah Emily Blacker

I love Summer Nights, and this is a well produced, full sounding version of the song. I love the strong guitars in Queen Anne’s, and really like how catchy the Hana song is. Next up we go to song 4 on Swale’s A Small Arrival. This one rocks!

4.) Edible – Swale
5.) Castles – Spirit Animal
6.) Projector – Vetica
7.) Plastic Revolution – Doll Fight!

Doll Fight just released this great new EP, and are breaking up. Sadness. I’m going to go rock with them one more time at Radio Bean next Wednesday. I really enjoyed Vetica at the Precipice and am enjoying their EP. What a great rock song. I’ve caught Spirit Animal a few times and they always rock. Hmmm Swale. It will be great to see them on Saturday at Hotel VT. Next up is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands from the ’90’s.

8.) Still Life Scene – Envy
9.) 1965 – The New Siberians
10.) 16 Tons – Thompson Gunner
11.) The Mime – Joe Adler and the Rangers of Danger

That was fun to play two songs in a row recorded live at Nectar’s. Joe and the Rangers are opening for the Rocky Horror Picture Show at the waterfront tomorrow from 6-7:30, so that should be fun. Thompson do a great version of the classic. I love the Siberians song and Envy rock. Up next is a bind with huge sweeping songs.

12.) You vs Them – The Hero Cycle
13.) Purpose and Object – The Contrarian

Purpose has such a great guitar sound. I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?
