Car Tunes: A quick drive off the beaten path

Car Tunes

I been doing radio shows on 11L-RNI for several years now, and I created a series of 30 minute “Car Tunes” pre-shows for host John P. Lightning. These are blocks of songs about cars, driving, and the open road. They start with the early 1960’s hot rod era and move into the later decades, and today with a few surprises along the way. Tons of popular artists featured. If you ever liked a car song, it’s probably here. Stream them and share!



I embeded the first 2 volumes, but there are 7 volumes so far. Visit my MixCloud page to hear the rest!

Fall into Singles, EPs: The Record Company, The Campbell Apartment, Vanilla, Half Catholic, Funeral Cake, Sugar Fight, and more

It’s cooling off this week on the East Coast. The Record Company isn’t a great name for a band, but these guys have a nice groove and swagger on “I Don’t Dance On Mondays” from their new 4th Album. Love that slide guitar sound! The Campbell Apartment has a new single worthy as a theme for Barbie’s Ken on “Boys Like Driving.” Next, Vanilla continues its slow rollout of Pish Posh one song at a time, this one is “S1 E1,” a march about binge-watching. I was very impressed by Half Catholic, “Pour It On Lightly” is like The Posies meet Pearl Jam and 100% original soaring melodic rock (also out on Kool Kat Musik). Funeral Cake is a little punkier, fans of The Muffs might enjoy them; check out “Sleep Over” and “Fairy Land.”  Next Sugar Fight has a few singles collected with the addition of a few guests (Frank Bango, for example). Finally, with summer over, you should pick up the latest freebie from radio show blogger Ice Cream Man (Wayne Lundqvist Ford,) a massive collection of over 100 songs. Summer never ends with this much music!
