Episode 27 - World Discovery
Damn, these podcasts are hard to keep up. Anyway, this week I've taken a look at some of my favorite world musicians over the past few years. I do appreciate a good world beat song.

Head Honcho - DeVotchKa (A Mad And Faithful Telling)
Tracery - [...]
Episode 26 - Weird Side Of Pop
OK, straight up this isn't the weirdest stuff you've ever heard. No, it doesn't even border on Avant Garde. This music is a little left of center though but it's all easily enjoyed. This week we have Men, Women and some questionable singers taking you through some new music. Enjoy.
Man Man - Top Drawer
The Kills [...]
Retrospect: Indie Of The Year 2007
With the launch of Indie Of The Year 2008 last week I thought it would be a good time to look back at some of the best and most popular bands who competed last year. As you may know, Ohio's Amplexus took home the honors and have done quite well with their album Deus Ex [...]
Episode 24 - SolitaryMan's Best Tracks Of '08 (Part 1)
Pretty simple this week, folks: the songs that I've deemed best of the year so far. Part two will be coming next week or the following. My first draft list could have made for a month's worth of podcasts, but we'll save one big "best of" for the end of the year. In the meantime, [...]
Episode 23 - Nautical Disaster (or the week before holidays)
I'm heading out next week for some fun in the sun, days at the beach and general "I Don't Care" attitude. So with that in mind I gathered up some songs with a Nautical theme. Oh, and a wonderful podcast puzzler is in here somewhere. Answer the question for an Amazon.com gift certificate.
Maritime - Isis [...]
Episode 22 - Showing Your Roots
This week we take a look at some of the more compelling roots and americana music that has come out in the last few months. I've got a treat for you though, somewhere in the podcast is a "Podcast Puzzler". If you are the first to email the correct answer to the question contained within [...]
Episode 21 - UK Pop
Today I take a look at some of the UK Pop music that's grabbed my attention over the last few months. Some albums are about a year old but most of the music is within the last few months. Despite my crappy summer head cold, I enjoyed doing this one immensely.
The Cribs - Men's Needs [...]
Episode 20 - Crafty Metal
Wow! We made it to 20 podcast episodes. Pat on the back deserved.
There has been a load of great metal come out in the last 6+ months. So much, in fact, I had a hard time cutting this podcast off at the 30 minute stage. Expect another metal one from me in a few weeks [...]
